How to watch the The Beastmaster movies in order

The Beastmaster is a beloved sword-and-sorcery franchise about a warrior who can communicate with animals. Here is how to watch the movies and the TV series.

The Beastmaster became a cable TV staple after its 1982 release, with Marc Singer as Dar, a warrior who shares a psychic bond with an eagle, a black tiger and two mischievous ferrets. The cult favorite produced two sequels, including a wild time-travel adventure to modern Los Angeles, before being reimagined as a syndicated TV series in 1999.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order follows Dar from his original quest through the later reimagining.

  1. The Beastmaster (1982)
  2. Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991)
  3. Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus (1996)
  4. BeastMaster (1999)

The three films star Marc Singer and continue his story, while the TV series recasts Dar and builds a new mythology around him.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The movie trilogy follows a single timeline, with the TV series serving as a separate retelling.

  1. The Beastmaster (1982)
  2. Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991)
  3. Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus (1996)
  4. BeastMaster (1999)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Release and chronological order are the same, so start with the 1982 original. It remains the best of the bunch, with impressive animal work and an atmospheric fantasy world. The sequels grow increasingly cheesy, but fans of 1990s B-movies will find plenty to enjoy, particularly the fish-out-of-water fun of Through the Portal of Time. The TV series can be enjoyed on its own as a lighter, more episodic adventure.
