Deathstalker II: Duel of the Titans (1987, dir. Jim Wynorski)

An outlaw warrior helps a princess regain her throne from an evil sorcerer. This self-aware sequel is an improvement from its predecessor, going for swashbuckling laughs and camp in equal measure. No classic, but it’s clear that there is a joke and that the cast and crew are all in on it.

Here’s the trailer.
