| User ReviewMichael WLana Clarkson is just as stunning in this sequel. She is imprisoned, tortured, and degraded to give up the secret of a powerful sceptre to her brother Ankaris and spoiled niece. Despite the buildup, we never do get to see the sceptre's power. |

| User Reviewkevin kholds up to the first continues the story |
| User ReviewRichard LThis movie is entertaining, especially because of the shaky storyline, the bad acting, the cheap props, the unconvincing action sequences, the semi-cooperative horses and, of course, the rough editing. There is even a sadistic princess, an implicitly gay villain (... not of the funny kind), a mud wrestling sequence, a torture sequence, a musical score clearly inspired by Star Wars (as is the title), and a particularly good-looking silent female warrior (played by Monica STEUER). |
| User ReviewSteve RA tiresome piece of crap with nothing going for it. |
| User ReviewIan MHalf as good as the first, which was awful. |
| User ReviewLarry YNot too sure what the title means here, there was no Empress in the first film and the plot doesn't relate in any way to the first film either. Characters are also different to the original film despite starring Lana Clarkson in both. What we have here is a slight play on Robin Hood. A king is killed in battle so his unruly son claims the throne for himself including the magical scepter which is the source of the kingdoms power. The kings daughter (Clarkson) protests this naturally and is marked for execution to get rid of her...naturally. She escapes, joins up with some other female rebel warriors (just like that) and they all band together to win the kingdom back hurrah! Now I hope your not expecting too much here, you know what this will entail, much like the previous film and all the 'Deathstalker' films. Plenty of tits and ass, skimpy outfits, females killing poorly skilled swordsmen, Clarkson on the rack again topless and errr more poorly skilled baddie swordsmen trying to rape big breasted women (happens a lot in these films). Pretty much exactly the same as the first film, there's a good rescue scene from the gallows which is similar to the sequence in 'The Adventures of Robin Hood' with Errol Flynn. There is a nice sadistic little girl Princess who is heir to the throne (if Clarkson's character is gotten rid of, the whole point of the film) whom I liked, her spoilt bratty ways are fun to watch as all around her cower. Just like the first film the finale is way better than the rest with a semi decent sword battle within the castle. Costumes are quite nice in this film it must be said, a kind of Crusades thing going on with the good guys whilst the sets look suspiciously like sets used before, oh well. The lead male hero in this looks the part too, he actually looks like he could be in a proper film, the same can't be said about the cliched blonde lead Clarkson. Well by now you will know if you like these films or not, a guilty pleasure possibly, just for a laugh and some naked girlies perhaps. Not as good as 'Deathstalker' though. |
