Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Mr. Fleischer brings absolutely no playfulness to what might, at least, have been enjoyably light. And he brings out the worst in a cast that was ill-chosen to begin with.
Rotten: Red Sonja returns to those olden days when women were women and the menfolk stood around with funny hats on until called forth to be whacked at.
Rotten: Worst of all, there's a charmless brat prince for Sonja to take under her wing.

"So it is true. Only women may touch it."
The original Conan the Barbarian, directed by John Milius, was High Kitsch on an extraordinarily bombastic level. The dull parts are very dull, but the funny parts are hilarious. Conan the Whatever, directed by Richard Fleischer, was one of the silliest sequels ever, unintentional low kitsch, but at least it had Grace Jones in it. Fleischer's Red Sonja, in effect Conan III, is somewhere in between. With a decent budget from Dino de Laurentis it's less cheesy-looking than Conan II, closer to the ridiculous pomposity of the original, pretty awful but pretty funny. OMG the outfits, the dialogue, the story, the acting, the sets, the clumsy fight scenes, the pathetic attempts at humor, the horrible kid actor, Morricone's boom-bap score! They even had the good sense to bring Sandahl Bergman back for this one, only to hide her behind an ugly mask. If you like camp and kitsch, it's a pretty rich feast.
