This movie is an 80's puberty classic, not only do we get sword and sorcery action we also get a naked Tanya Roberts (RIP), every time this movie came on HBO I watched it...now I own a copy...just CLASSIC!
I did see this back in the day, but in the 80's as a kid, 8/9, I owned Deathstalker on video (still got it! :D); instead of Tanya Roberts, you had Lana Clarkson (also RiP), Barbi Benton and a dozen others!. :D
My dad was a real one for showing me this when I was in middle school despite me being born in 97. Otherwise wouldn’t have watched it but I’m glad Im aware ig of it
...a different time when blood, boobs and gore still got you a PG rating. Yeah right, now you can't.... and look what's happened to the world!!! I grew up on blood, boobs (at times literally) and gore and I'm a well rounded crazy person for it! :D .... a -different- better time! I know we're nostalgically biased; but even subjectively you could say so. The original Poltergeist was a PG as well... yet Gremlins was a 15!?! I did see this as a kid, but I got my Sword and Sorcery fix* from Deathstalker on VHS (still have); which my mother let me buy at a market when I was 7/8; a different time!?. * or the Jackson/Livingstone CYOA books! A couple of Christmas', at my mother's health club, they got member Pat Roach to be Santa. I'm glad, and kind of sad, that when I sat on his knee he never pulled Santa's red hood back but had the Thoth Amon wizard monster mask on from Conan the Destroyer! He was in loads of my favourite child/current films; Willow _ General Kale, 1st two Indianna Jones films - propellered nazi and stone-rolled slave driver, a king in Red Sonja, celt chief in Prince of Thieves. He was almost Darth Vader. Would love to have talked to him about the films and people he worked with (connery Bond killed him) as an adult!: ( RiP my friend!
@@eduardopena5893 Those of us who were kids in the '80s loved that sort of thing. You can't have action or adventure without some "level of violence." Undyne would back me up on that. There has to be a CHALLEEEENNNNGE! Stinkoman would back me up on that.
"I'll accept this as payment" Old school movies were savage af. One of my favorite movies as a kid, but yo this would've gotten cancelled so hard if it came out today. Don Coscarelli was killing off kids and animals left right and center in this joint.
There's a whole bunch of cool trivia about this movie. The producer, the legendary Dino de Laurintis wanted Coscarelli to direct Conan the Destroyer. Coscarelli turned it down because he thought the script was bad. Coscarelli wanted Klaus Kinski for the role of Maax but couldn't reach an agreement, so Rip Torn. According to Coscarelli, the original film negatives are lost. They stored them in a private house that was sold and have no clue where they negatives went.
Im in tears at the throwing the kids in the fire scene and poking them down, those kids looked like they were actually terrified jesus christ then the dummy being held by the hawk. holy fuck.
Amazing review. Apparently there was rampant animal abuse on set of this movie that lead to changes in Hollywood. One of the tigers died shortly after from being dyed black. Besides that it’s a classic! Lol
He does have a bit of Kevin Bacon about him. I called that out before too. Him and Ken Olandt from summer school both have a bit of the six degrees about them haha.
Thanks to the Patrons who requested this movie. I grew up in the 80s and this is one of my childhood favorites. My mom recorded this off HBO for me and I watched it nonstop until I wore the tape out. This brings back memories!! 😍
Pretty sure the tiger died from the hair dye. Apparently they wanted a Leopard but the animal handlers told them that leopards are notoriously hard to work with, so tiger. And they were set on having a black animal so dyed tiger.
Ha, ha, I forgot this movie existed. My brother and I loved this movie as kids. We need more Good Boy of the Year awards! A painted tiger, a 'ripped' John Amos, baby ferrets, this movie has it all. Great review, thanks for posting.
0:44 Rip Torn (who passed away in 2019, so RIP to him) is the evil dude with the fake nose, awesome guy whole also played the head-honcho of the Men in Black HQ, 09:00 Those creatures freaked me the hell out when I first saw the movie as a kid, like; nightmare inducing...good times... 17:40 There is another one?! I never knew. Can't wait for the Red Eye Review of the sequel 19:05 The model still looks more realistic than most CGI in the last 20 years Another great review 🙂👍
I'm surprised you didn't joke more about the fact that the girl he was trying to get with was his cousin too. Definitely one of my childhood favorite movie
Back in the 80s, since this flick was on all the time, TBS was known as "The Beastmaster Station" and HBO would be "Hey! Beastmaster's On!". A staple of TV watching in our house back then. (A few years back, I managed to score an autographed photo of Marc in his Dar outfit for my mom. He was very nice and seemed to appreciate it when I told him "My mom thinks you're hot.").
Wife and I both loved this when we were kids. Recently watched it with our own kids, and they *LOVED* it! Meanwhile, we were both like Holy balls, forgot how epically cheesy this was!
That is so funny, I have 2 boy's 13 and 16 and we watched it recently ( their 1st time , probably my 20th ) and although they laughed through the cheesyness of it they said it wasn't that bad .
I love the look on the evil sorcerer's face as the bird carries that kid. Even he couldn't keep himself from thinking, "What the hell is that?" XD Ah, I miss Rip Torn... A side-note: I've heard that Black Tigers do exist, but they don't look quite like the one in this movie. I saw a picture of what an actual black tiger looks like, and if my notoriously poor memory isn't screwing me over here, they basically look like a regular tiger but their stripes the lighter in color and the rest is black, at least most black tigers look like that or otherwise have a different striped pattern that is more black than anything else.
Yet another 'classic' from my collection! How is it you keep doing this? And you're the first American I think I've ever heard to use the word "wanker". That makes you an honorary Brit in my book :)
Honestly, I laugh out aloud so many times at Red Eye videos. Hands down one of the funniest and entertaining channel on YooToob. You sir deserve a million subs.
My ferret used to steal stuff too. He's drag shoes and hide them. He used to love to grab one of my 1:18 scale die cast metal muscle cars by the tire and drag it to his hiding spot. Marc Singer did sound like Kevin Bacon. But looked more like the cartoon version of He-Man. For some reason, I've always hated Rip Torn. Just because of the name. I wonder if he was ever hurt injured. Or if he decided concluded to pick choose his name moniker.
Ol Redeye is quickly becoming my favorite UA-cam channel the last 6 months or so! Keep up the good work! Because if you sucked everyone would tell you!! Great stuff👍
The Ned Flanders voice is PERFECTION itself!I'm sure I've seen this movie before but don't remember for sure,but your version is waaay better anyway!Say hi to Homer for us!
I haven't seen this movie since I was a little kid, and it's amazing how many bits and pieces stayed with me. Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane!
Red Eye: . . . literally, the ferrets have everything in this movie; what have you done Darr, besides try to get in this girl's pants? Me: his name IS THE BEAST MASTER.
1:30 - With a nose like that, he's got to be Princess Vespa's* true father!! * Spaceballs 3:30 - That bear story is adorably cute.... when compared to the film Roar (def. Redeye Reviewable). Multiple dozens of untrained lions and tigers, a man and his family and bites, fights, maulings, scalpings (200+m stitches). Think 'The Birds', but with big cats; except these cats are real and can, and do, F people up. One of the craziest BTS stories for a film!
this was my jam back in the day. I was such a huge fan, when it left the theater, I got the stand up. I had a life size cutout of Marc singer in my bedroom for years.
Never before that video did I realize that this peculiarly 80s-flavoured oddity that is "The Beastmaster" had been made by the same Don Coscarelli that a few decades later gifted the world with the best on-screen Elvis-JFK combo ever put to film, in the great and only "Bubba Ho-Tep". Seriously though, "Bubba Ho-Tep" rules. Greaaaaaaat movie ! ^^"
We didn't have HBO as a kid, so this must've been on USA too, because I saw this movie a billion times. The broadcast rights probably cost a dollar. However, despite seeing it so many times, I had suppressed the memory of one of the ferrets dying until today... thanks Redeye.
This is a timeless classic ( to me at least) it's not all that good but has a special place in my heart . I watched this numerous times as a kid . I like you're content more and more with every new one you make .The comments about the pit of fire , then the dope ass tiger and stunt child had me rolling. You sir are a genius.
It's goofy going over this movie now and trying to take it seriously, but damn did I love watching this back when I was a teenager and it was in constant rotation on HBO in the mid-80s :-)
The Beast Master shouldn't be criticized over brash and successful intimate encounters with the babes, the actress was happily consensual and a fantasy bad ass isn't going to go in for the back pat.
I remember buying this on VHS in the 90's, didn't realise there are three films? Just Googled it and other classic films came up, Krull, Willow and Conan!
Y'know, the "paint" used to make the tiger black was actually toxic... the tiger died because of it. Ah, such concern for animal actors back in the day.
I grew up just a few blocks from where a girl was kidnapped and never seen again and yet, the bird people from this movie were the scariest thing in my childhood.
Rip Torn's look was all his idea - "... Rip Torn appears, and Pepperman asks Coscarelli to describe their early meetings with him. “He came to the film with his own peculiar ideas about how the character was going to be played,” says the director. “He came to me and said ‘I want to play this role like a turkey vulture.’” Torn decided on his own to wear a prosthetic nose."
The beastmaster such a 80s classic movie Marc singer was excellent in this film and the bad guys can be a little derpy but it's all good I like the look of those bad guys who we're behind the door when creature with the glowing green eyes came up on them it was hilarious
John Amos in the movie is icing on the cake.
I know! This guy slept on that!
This movie is an 80's puberty classic, not only do we get sword and sorcery action we also get a naked Tanya Roberts (RIP), every time this movie came on HBO I watched it...now I own a copy...just CLASSIC!
HBO stood for "Hey, Beastmaster's On!" - Dennis Miller

Legit LMAO !!!
Loved this movie as a kid. Man, it was a different time when blood, boobs and gore still got you a PG rating 🤣🤣
This was back before a pg13 rating existed so we got pg blood boobs and gore
the three Bs back in the day, Blood, Boobs, and Badassery

And then Gremlins happened. Parents got so outraged because they marketed it as a cute little kids movie.

Don Coscarelli directed this?! He's one of my favorite B-movie directors of all time. Literally right up there with Sam Raimi. I even have his memoir!

@Jonathan What? What does that have to do with anything? Weirdo. Go away.
@@soulknife20 I'm so glad we got the Conan we got and not this mess haha
I wish he directed Conan The Destroyer bc that issh was trash. So bad that Arnold wouldn't do the 3rd Conan movie
@Jonathan kwabquack did you know your mother didn't have any kids that lived?
Im in tears at the throwing the kids in the fire scene and poking them down, those kids looked like they were actually terrified jesus christ then the dummy being held by the hawk. holy fuck.
The movie that built HBO, the movie that HBO played so much it got the name "Hey, Beastmaster's On"
Amazing review. Apparently there was rampant animal abuse on set of this movie that lead to changes in Hollywood. One of the tigers died shortly after from being dyed black. Besides that it’s a classic! Lol
Probably that's why he has a "tiger-tiger" in the sequel, instead of the "black-tiger".
Why did they dyed poor animas on the first place is a mistery
Watched this probably over 100 times in my young days
Dropping a thumbs up 👍🏽 before I even watch. Know it’s going to be great. BROTHER!!!
I can’t believe you didn’t say...”Yeah, these little guys steal everything - like every scene they’re in.” Another awesome episode RE :)
He does have a bit of Kevin Bacon about him. I called that out before too. Him and Ken Olandt from summer school both have a bit of the six degrees about them haha.
Thanks to the Patrons who requested this movie. I grew up in the 80s and this is one of my childhood favorites. My mom recorded this off HBO for me and I watched it nonstop until I wore the tape out. This brings back memories!! 😍
The tiger got super sick from being dyed black. I'm sure there was a ton of sketchy animal work.
Pretty sure the tiger died from the hair dye. Apparently they wanted a Leopard but the animal handlers told them that leopards are notoriously hard to work with, so tiger. And they were set on having a black animal so dyed tiger.
Perfectly acceptable sacrifice for our entertainment
If I had to assume. The Tiger likely drank the dye off his mouth fur whenever he would get some water. 🤦🏾
Very bad idea.
@@tonyj9203 or licking his fur
It was a he 80s. We did a whole lot of fun, super dangerous stuff. it was worse and funner growing up in the 70s...😮😂😂.
Ha, ha, I forgot this movie existed. My brother and I loved this movie as kids. We need more Good Boy of the Year awards! A painted tiger, a 'ripped' John Amos, baby ferrets, this movie has it all. Great review, thanks for posting.
To be fair, I’d forget my mission of revenge to go chasing a Charlie’s Angel too 😂
In my house, we watch this and Rocky for Thanksgiving. You know what I'm talking about
0:44 Rip Torn (who passed away in 2019, so RIP to him) is the evil dude with the fake nose, awesome guy whole also played the head-honcho of the Men in Black HQ,

I have seen this move at least 20 times, how did I never realize that Rip Torn is the evil guy in this?
RIP rip
There's a third too.
@@Pyrela holy cow, I'll expect a red eye review of that one aswell🙃
Holy crap is that the father from Good Times? Dude was pretty jacked back in the day 🤣 automatic rewatch for me 😂
9:26 "If you can dodge a kid, you can dodge a ball!"
I'm surprised you didn't joke more about the fact that the girl he was trying to get with was his cousin too.
Definitely one of my childhood favorite movie
I remember going to see this in the theater with my mom! One of my favorite movies as a kid. Also Rip Torn in now the most ironic name ever. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey, great channel!! Glad I found you.

Don Coscorelli has a great catalogue of movies to explore. Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies In The End and the Phantasm series being some highlights.
The Phanstasm series is his magnum opus in my opinion. Angus Scrimm is just the best
Bubba Ho-Tep would be a great candidate for Red Eye Reviews
Ol Redeye is quickly becoming my favorite UA-cam channel the last 6 months or so! Keep up the good work!
Because if you sucked everyone would tell you!! Great stuff👍
The joke back in the day was that HBO stood for "hey Beastmasters on". I was 9 in the summer of 1983 and I'd swear I watched it 3 or 4 times a week.
Thumbs up before I even start watching. This will be amazing.
“This one’s a fighter” had me laughing so loud at work lol.
I don't know who writes the dialog but who ever is doing it is a comedy genius. Also the narrative execution is perfect. Awesome upload good sir 😀
Aww thank you friend! I do both :)
The Ned Flanders voice is PERFECTION itself!I'm sure I've seen this movie before but don't remember for sure,but your version is waaay better anyway!Say hi to Homer for us!
He Man cartoon in the mid 1980's uses the exact same tiger sound as this movie
We had ferrets as well... Crash and Burn. 👍
“This one is trying” made me cry 😂🤣🤣
That's John Amos. The father from Good Times. Damn James, you're so young😊
This is 6 years after he was last on Good Times. He was a football player. He was 42 years old when this movie came out
Love the channel. Love this movie.
As an adult I loved rip torn! And as a child I love this movie no wonder I love rip and rip and also the dad from Good times..
I haven't seen this movie since I was a little kid, and it's amazing how many bits and pieces stayed with me. Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane!
Oh man I haven't watched this movie in like a thousand years. I should watch it tonight!

Tiger named Kipling? Maybe after Rudyard Kipling who wrote "The Jungle Book?"

r.i.p. Rip Torn
r.i.p. Tanya Roberts 😔
Dude, I watched this movie all the time as a kid. I think they played it on TNT every week. Haven’t seen it in years though. Thanks for the reminder.
Absolutely love this channel. The choices of reviews with good humor are great. Please consider reviewing Knock Off with JCVD and Rob Schneider
Thank you! I have added this one to my list :)

Such an under rated classic. And another great review. 👍
I remember this movie as a kid. We watched it a lot
Pound Town with Tanya Roberts is the only rational decision a person in his position could make
We didn't have HBO as a kid, so this must've been on USA too, because I saw this movie a billion times. The broadcast rights probably cost a dollar. However, despite seeing it so many times, I had suppressed the memory of one of the ferrets dying until today... thanks Redeye.
This is a timeless classic ( to me at least) it's not all that good but has a special place in my heart . I watched this numerous times as a kid . I like you're content more and more with every new one you make .The comments about the pit of fire , then the dope ass tiger and stunt child had me rolling. You sir are a genius.
I used to watch this on TBS like 10 times a year.
Great episode, as always. I love this channel.
It's goofy going over this movie now and trying to take it seriously, but damn did I love watching this back when I was a teenager and it was in constant rotation on HBO in the mid-80s :-)
That poor tiger actually contracted a disease after being spray painted so much and eventually died ☹️
I definitely need a review of the sequel with James Avery haha
Very appreciative of allowing me to pick, and hopefully it's a hit for the viewers. As always, you crush it. Ball sac. Lol
Tanya Roberts! 😃😃😃🔥🔥🔥
Redeye thanks for all the trivia and factoids throughout the review. Kudos sir!
I really love how this channel started out as a pandemic project to a quality content channel.
Thanks
The Beast Master shouldn't be criticized over brash and successful intimate encounters with the babes, the actress was happily consensual and a fantasy bad ass isn't going to go in for the back pat.
Best movie of all time! Ok, maybe not really, but I totally wanted a ferret after watching this. Still a classic.
I mean it! Great job with this one bro! 🌟.
I remember seeing this in theaters! Such a spectacular movie at the time.
I also remember seeing a double feature with this and Dragon Slayer
If Dar is the son of the king, isn't Tanya Roberts' character his cousin?
Strange but true trivia: actress Sally Kirkland said she lost her virginity to actor RIP TORN. 🤣
Love your reviews
That dog is very much not fine😂
Wow this is probably the best movie you did review on ! I need to watch the whole movie now .
When you’ve starred in Beastmaster and V… that’s when you’ve made it in Hollywood.
They're all good dogs, RedEye. 11/10
I remember buying this on VHS in the 90's, didn't realise there are three films? Just Googled it and other classic films came up, Krull, Willow and Conan!
And my ferret was named Whirlwind 🌪️. And boy, was she a performer ! 🥳🏆
With that many ferrets, that must have been a stinky set.
I love ferrets and weasels, but their musk is pretty goddamn overpowering.
Fortunately, I was already wearing a weird little helmet and had removed my pants.
(That's just how I internet)
I think the tiger died beacuse of all the painting 😢
Y'know, the "paint" used to make the tiger black was actually toxic... the tiger died because of it. Ah, such concern for animal actors back in the day.
Dude I remember watching this movie on vhs when I was a kid and it always kinda stuck with me. Great one to choose Redeye!!!

I watched this many times as kid before I realized that according to the story, Dar and Tanya Roberts must be cousins. That was a weird realization.
Rip Torn, is Patches O'huluahan in a little movie called Dodgeball. The 5 D's !
The beastmaster such a 80s classic movie Marc singer was excellent in this film and the bad guys can be a little derpy but it's all good I like the look of those bad guys who we're behind the door when creature with the glowing green eyes came up on them it was hilarious
