Review of Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991) by Andreas O — 24 Aug 2010
I wasn't a big fan of the original Beastmaster, but it's Citizen Kane compared to it's sequel, which goes for campy laughs, but falls flat on it's face when it, well, goes for campy laughs, and usually for the wrong reasons.
It stars out promisingly, with Marc Singer and Wings Hauser grunting at each other menacingly in the barren land they possess, but when valley girl comes along, ugh, forget it, as it takes a time portal storyline and all the 90's nuisances that go along with it, that takes this movie beyond bad.
Its one of those 90's movies that you have to wonder if youre in a time portal yourself, because everything is atrocious, from the clothes, to the music, to the stereotypes (Gay fashion store clerk! Exasperated black police chief!).
The film doesnt make a lot of sense, characters dissapear inexplicably, and yes, Marc Singer, poor guy, makes that ridiculous chirping sound to his hawk. Wow. Use your own discretion.
