A rare sexploitation item starring Playboy Playmate Barbi Benton as a sex kitten from Scranton whose sexual misadventures take her to Boston (where she and an old sea captain do the nasty) to Miami (where she's paid $3000 to have sex while impersonating Miss Luxembourg) to Italy (where she learns about the casting couch). Klaus Kinski, Clyde Ventura, Broderick Crawford and Lionel Stander also star; look for Ed Begley, Jr. as a bellhop. AKA: "How Did a Nice Girl Like You Get Into This Business?" 85 min.

Format: Color, DVD, NTSC . Language: English . Region: Region 1 . Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 . Number of discs: 1 . Rated: R (Restricted) . Studio: New Concorde . DVD Release Date: October 23, 2001 . Run Time: 80 minutesBrawny blond longhair Richard Hill is the rogue barbarian hero Deathstalker in this hilariously slapdash sword-and-sorcery adventure. Armed with a sword that makes him invincible (provided by an otherwise completely useless sidekick), he heads off for a tournament of warriors sponsored by an evil wizard with a nasty plot to kill all his rivals... but don't worry about the plot because it makes no sense. This shot-in-Argentina, Roger Corman production features badly staged swordfights, loads of gratuitous nudity, female mud wrestling, trolls in! bad rubber masks, and a funky eyeball-eating demon sock pupp! et. Form er Hugh Hefner girlfriend Barbi Benton seems rather embarrassed in her role as a whiny harem girl. John Terlesky took over the title role in the sequel (Deathstalker II: Duel of the Titans) while topless warrior woman costar Lana Clarkson graduated to her own series, Barbarian Queen. --Sean Axmaker
