SYNOPSIS: In the magical world of Dar the Beastmaster, a sorceress in the employ of her evil overlord discovers a portal to another world. The world is called "Allay" ("L.A.," that is), where resides a device which will make the overlord invincible. You guessed it -- it's a nuke. The Beastmaster and his animal companions must follow the bad guys to our modern-day Earth and, with the help of the obligatory gorgeous California babe, he must stop them from taking over both worlds!

Most Ludicrous Premise |
It's Not Even That Much of a Stretch The sorceress Lyranna explains to her master Arklon that she's invented/discovered a portal from their world of magic to a barbaric land of total destruction: L.A.

"Whoops!" |
Well, They Are Messing with Time Of course, the nuke gets activated at the end and the red, digital, LED countdown begins. An expert is called in to defuse the bomb and he bumbles through it while the timer ticks: 30, 29, 28... Cut to worried looks from the other cast members. 28, 27, 26, 25... Things are starting to really get tense. 27, 26, 25... Will he make it!? 40, 39, 38... Now a lot of films use the countdown to build tension, and some are obviously not, shall we say, "real time." But this one is the most glaringly FAKE countdown I've ever seen. The counter not only goes backwards at several points, but when the timer actually does get down to four or so and they cut away yet again, you can still easily count like this: "4, 3, 2, 1, ZERO! Uh, ZERO! Zero. Zero? Hello? Zero?" Naturally, this gives the bomb squad ample time to succeed.

Probably best known as Dar the titular
Beastmaster and Mike Donovan

Kari Wuhrer |
Jackie Trent |
Pronounced "Car-ee-WURR," apparently, Kari is a smokin' hot MTV
VJ turned B-Movie actress. She was in Beastmaster

Maggie on "Sliders." She also lends her voice to sci-fi
animation (like Maria Hill in many Marvel projects). |
Sarah Douglas |
Lyranna |
Best known as The Phantom Zone Chick (Ursa) from

of fantasy/sci-fi villainesses, like
Queen Taramis in Conan the
Destroyer and Beastmaster 2's
Lyranna. |

heavies. Did many TV bit parts, like Ty
Tilden on "Rosanne." |
James Avery |
Lt. Coberly |
Best known as Uncle Phil on "The Fresh Prince

adult fare but was a classically trained

Bendowski |
Phil in Just One of the
Guys and Dr. Williams in
Love Streams. And a name
too cool not to be a stage name... |
Robert Z'Dar |
Zavic |
It'd be hard to find anyone whose face
is
puffier; gigantic ex-wrestler. He shows
up
as the antagonist/Boss Battle in many a

seen
him if you've watched four or more Bad
Movies. |

Beloved character actor who played
innocuous bumbling and/or professorial
roles, probably best known for Mr.

the irascible mouse Mr. Ages in
The Secret of N.I.M.H. |

dah!), and Ellis in One Flew Over the
Cuckoo's Nest. |
Carl Ciarfalio |

Prolific stuntman and actor with a 40+
year career. Was The Thing in Roger

the Italian boxer in Far and
Away. |
Frank Welker |
Sharak / Kodo / Podo / Ruh |
Legendary animated voice talent with a 50+ year
career who's done the animal noises in nearly
everything, but is probably best known
for giving voice to both Fred Jones and his
iconic canine sleuthing pal Scooby-Doo. |

off in Malcom X), Charles
