Why is Amazon displaying the same reviews for the region 1 and 2 version of this film. The region 1 version (blue cover) totally outclasses the region 2 version (white cover)!!
First let me say I absolutely love this film, and I'd give it an easy 5 star review. However this review is for the region 2 version (white cover).
I suppose this is the one for me to review, seeing as how I'm from the UK.
Sadly this version is truely awful!!
First off, the sound and picture quality is crap. There's no way this is 'digitally mastered'.
Secondly, the overall presentation is poor, no special features in sight. As if they couldn't be bothered to make an effort for this package. They didn't even add the original trailor, something which even the old VHS had!
The wide screen presentation is also false, all they've done is took the full frame version and squashed it down to look wide screen. As a result the faces of the actors look rugby ball shaped and their bodies look short 'n' fat!
If you want a decent version of this film go for the region 1 version as it has excellent picture and sound quality, great special features, a true wide screen presentation and even a production booklet.
I hope that in the future, the powers that be will re-release this classic film as a decent region 2 version. But for now, like I said go for region 1.
Overall = 2 stars (Region 2) but a definate 5 stars (Region 1).

I just loved this film from the moment I saw it way back when....
It's a great action, humourous, fun, magical film if ever there was one.
Mark Singer was in great shape for this movie, charging around with some of the most loveable animals you can imagine. Two ferrets who were excellent little actors, stealing anything they could get their paws on and a fabulous black tiger (really unusual) as Dar's strength. Also a beautiful eagle who sends images to him as it flies ahead of him as he roves across the barren rocky landscapes.
Rip Torn played his evil character brilliantly and I just couldn't wait to see him meet a nasty end.
Tanya Roberts also played her part well. Quite the little lost slave girl who Marc was unable to resist.
He played Dar, the unborn child taken from his mother's womb and raised by a self appointed guardian as his own son. It was evident from the start that he had special gifts, understanding animals, and it was for me, this that kept the movie alive.
I think all of you who like legends and fairy tales with a bit of muscle thrown in for good measure will really enjoy this film. Direction and production excellent!

29 years old, and still an exciting fantasy full of action and humour, enjoyed by the whole family watching it (five generations) and subject to a good discussion afterwards.----- conclusion "A Great Film "

Much better than i actually remember it being
And Rip Torn, I mean how cool can anyone be! Extras in Korean which basically equates to none on the extras front, unless you are Korean of course.

Underrated cult classic
This version of The Beastmaster (Korean release)is well worth the price.Released in the early 1980's this film still entertains.
