Review of Red Sonja (1985) by Philip K — 24 Sep 2007
RED SONJA - (Starring Brigitte Nielsen (!), Ahnold, Sandahl Bergman) "Don't be tricked into thinking this is as good as Conan, but it's still sorta enjoyable. Red Sonja is a brazen warrior woman who seeks out the evil Queen Gedron, to take revenge for the death of her sister as well as for her own rape by Gedron's men years earlier. Arnold Schwarzenegger basically plays Conan again (now named "Kalidor"), and helps her out. Also assisting Sonja in her quest are Falkan (played by a guy who looks and sounds just like Horatio Sanz) and an annoying little prince dude played by a child Ernie Reyes Jr. from Surf Ninjas (who was also in, coincidentally, The Last Dragon). Sandahl Bergman (who was Valeria in Conan the Barbarian) plays Gedron, and seems very uncomfortable at times (probably because she can't act very well).".
Memorable moment - When Sonja and Kalidor fight for what seems like an hour.
Best quote - ".
What kind of a movie is it? - Sword and sorcery for retards.
