In 1982, the world was introduced to two cinematic sword-and-sorcery heroes: Conan the Barbarian, and Dar the Beastmaster. But we say that the world can only have one ultimate shirtless hero whose entire village was murdered and thus setting the sole survivor on a violent trajectory of bloodthirsty vengeance. Who wore the scanty loincloth best?

Beastmaster was a fun movie, but all together, Conan has to come out on top.
Dang, you're right, I *cannot* remember Beastmaster's nemesis. But can't Beastmaster get a point for having Tanya Roberts? She was cute as heck.
