Apparently they couldn’t get the rights to the name *Conan,* for this movie but, because there was (at least, as far as my research has been able to ascertain) a comic adventure in which *Conan* used the name *"Kalidor"* (though I couldn’t find confirmation of exactly _why_ he does it), they were able to use _that_ name instead.
Red Sonja was not a character in the original Robert E. Howard Conan stories but was a character in his short historical story The Shadow of the Vulture which takes place when the Turks laid siege to Vienna. She was not associated with Conan until the Marvel Comics adaptation in the 70s.
In "The Shadow of the Vulture" the character was named Red Sonya. So the Marvel character was the "it's a different character" while still being basically the same character adapted.
@@Logan_Baron It's not really the same character at all, other than being vaguely inspired by Howard's character. Red Sonya (Howard's character) is a gunslinger from the 16th century.
You can see a few episodes on TH-cam, last time I checked. It’s preposterous a kid can do martial arts on grownups and defeat them. But Short Round did it for a few minutes in Temple of Doom. BTW, that’s not the “inconceivable” guy from Princess Bride. That’s the burnt hand German National Socialist Party member from Raiders of the Lost Ark. and Queen Gedrin is Sandhal Bergman- Conan’s old girlfriend
@@deraykrause4517That kid is in his late 40’s now. I knew him through an acquaintance of mine. His father still taught at their karate centers, and I talked to his father a few times at the gym. He had a major health scare and almost died several years ago, but is doing well now. He still teaches martial arts.
both Arnold and Sandra were contracted to make 3 Conan movies. When Dino offer this move to Arnold he as that this fulfilled this contract for conan. As Arnold was no in high demand. this at this the reason the third conan was not made. The contract was done.
Which was such bullshit. They put him in this because of the success of Conan, they didn't think this movie could stand without him in it then kept dicking him around on the next Conan film.
Hey, Mr. and Mrs.! Red Sonja is a Marvel Comics creation that transplanted one of Robert E. Howard's historical fiction creations into the Hyborian Age of Conan. The actual Red Sonya of Rogatino character Howard crafted was a Polish-Ukrainian mercenary who fought the Ottoman Turks during the Siege of Vienna in 1529 in the story "The Shadow of the Vulture".

I love you guys! I never thought I could have so much fun watching someone watch a movie, especially the sword and sorcery films you've viewed the last few weeks.
It's my opinion that Conan the Destroyer is better than the Red Sonja movie. Destroyer is no Conan the Barbarian which is far superior, but still an enjoyable film. Mrs. Movies nailed the opening narration and I loved Mr. Movies lyrics to the music. Fun reaction. I'm looking forward to Return of the Living Dead too.
I too loved thos as a kid!! But yeah always thought arnold was Conan in this until i was older and i was like wait he has a different name.. but thought sonja was so beautiful!
How thick are those walls if the women can't hear all those horses trampling around? I mean one or two that are just chilling out might be overlooked, but a whole herd trampling around heavily like that??
The kid (Ernie Reyes Jr.) isn't just of Ninja Turtles and Surf Ninjas fame. The same year Red Sonya released he was also starred (briefly but memorably) in Motown's one and only martial arts feature film The Last Dragon. The Last Dragon is amazing. Right smack dab in the middle of the 80's (and oh boy can you tell). Mixed with Motown. A dash of bad acting. And a heavy dose of black exploitation martial artistry. Iconic mix. Cult classic. You two would get a kick out of it.
Ah, I was wondering if you'd watch this. Brace yourselves, folks. I remember seeing this in the theater and noticing Brigitte Nielsen's smallpox vaccination scar in a scene and wondering why they couldn't have covered that up.
08:00 No, it is not him. That is Ronald Lacey who played the Gestapo agent in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Pat Roach, the big guy Indy fights under the plane, is also in this film.
With swords beyond a certain baseline strength mainly helps with endurance, so if it's a quick fight the biggest advantage a large man has might be reach (which is a big advantage). Unless he's inexperienced or stupid and swings wildly, in which case he has a good chance of being gutted. Or losing his fingers. "Only women may touch it". I confess, I have a rule like that. I think the main weakness in this film is that Arnold's line delivery is the best.
I am sad to see that Red Sonja is the last of the sword and sorcery 80s films. I hope you continue this series of movies eventually down the road. There are so many includibg medieval ones: Dragonslayer, Willow, Ladyhawk, Barbarians, and the aptly named the Sword and the Sorcerer.
Some people really HATE this movie. I suspended my disbelief a long time ago and grabbed the popcorn. It's not Laserblast or Highlander 2: The Quickening.
Why does everyone hate this? The acting is atrocious but it is hilarious. I love RS. I also laughed at Highlander 2. People have to lighten up about movies that are supposed to be bad.

@@JONSEY101 I don’t see a problem at all with the fax,and I thought the movie had a great sense of adventure about it.I think it would be great to see all these characters involved in a new story.
Mrs.Movies’ Conan canon makes sense to me.Also,humility ain’t the only thing that kid lacks(I’m talking about acting ability,but I’m sure you knew that).
I’ve read that Arnold only took on this to fulfill his 3 picture contract with producer Dino De Laurentiis after the disappointment of Conan the Destroyer. Now what’s funny about this film is that he considers it to be his worst film that he used to make his kids watch it as punishment whenever they got in trouble.
You need to understand the history of the sources for Conan, Red Sonja and Kull. All of them where novels from R.E. Howard. From a time of pulp stories in 1930s & 40s. A lot of stuff then was written to pay the bills, not to be literature. They were fun, I have been a Conan fan since I was a kid. The movies are not close to the books but have some elements of them.
If I'm not mistaken (50 years since I read the books), Red Sonja was a pirate captain and Conan served as a buccaneer/1st mate...ahem. This was his 2nd love after Valeria. Speaking of Valeria (Sandahl Bergman), I was surprised, you didn't recognize her, as the evil queen with the dark hair. This story also had nothing to do with the original Conan books.
No, you're thinking of Belit. Robert E Howard had one story with Red Sonya of Rogatino. She was a support character in the story Shadow of the Vulture where she is a Polish mercenary fighting the Turks at the 1529 Siege of Vienna. Roy Thomas adapted that story into Conan the Barbarian #23 and turned the Slavic Sonya into Hyrkanian Sonja since they are rough geographic equivalents.
@@MiLikesVids It's been a long time, I'm sure you are right, but I sure enjoyed the Conan stories and books by Robert E. Howard, L. Sprague De Camp and others that had followed Howard's style of Conan adult fantasy. The originals stories weren't comic books made for kids. Lots of sex and violence pulp fiction. Howard was a brilliant writer whose life was cut down too short, by his own hand. I also loved his Solomon Kane stories. The movie was good, too. Kull the Atlantean wasn't bad stories, but I hated the Kevin Sorbo film. LOL
The wife couldn't figure out the priestesses were thrown down the hole and screaming from their wounds and that the hole was closing? Thumbs down. She ain't too bright.
12:25 In his scathing review of "Red Sonja" on his show "Siskel & Ebert at the Movies," film critic Gene Siskel laughed "There's statue of a Buddha that looks like it's... I can't say it. You'll have to watch the movie. NO!!! Don't watch the movie! It looks like its sitting on a toilet!!" He wasn't wrong.
He couldn’t play Conan because of rights issues, but it was written to be called in. They just couldn’t work it out so they changed the name.. so yes, he’s Conan the barbarian
I LOVE your relationship with your daughters, most reactors are only interrupted by their cats. Red Sonja is a TERRIBLE film but it did pave the way for Xena.
Always cracks me up when we catch Mrs Movies clearly looking at herself in the screen off camera. She makes faces alot more now that she has straight white teeth.
This was fun when I saw it on TV, but, I never had a burning desire to see it again. It wasn't the launch for Brigitte that Conan was for Arnie. She became more famous for marrying Sly.
@@richardrobbins387yeah likely, because they'd probably show at least a bit of of the walls coming in to crush them otherwise. I guess it was just I thought I had when I was 10 and it stuck. Damn I was a sick kid lol.
4:33 I know you're just joking around, but I thought Mr. Movies actually sounded pretty good. Speaking of barbarian movie theme songs with odd lyrics, you should watch "Yor: Hunter From The Future" starring Reb Brown. There's a hang gliding scene in it that is at once too stupid and too awesome to miss.
Robert Rodriguez tried to remake this film in 2009, starring Rose McGowan. Even though a lot of Robert E Howard's work is public domain, parts of it are contested and the idea fell into legal and production limbo, all we got as a result was a poster that teased it at comicon.
He probably wanted to use her in that kind of role just because she was his wife at the time. But I don't think it would've worked. McGowan is just too short and Red Sonja absolutely needs to be tall and statuesque.

The "inconceivable" actor played Grand Nagus (forgot name) on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Wallace Shawn. He also does the voice of Rex in the Toy Story movies.
Oddly enough Conan, and Red Sonja are supposed to be set in the same universe...so why couldn't Arnold just be Conan? 😆
I think there were possible rights issues and also Arnold may have complained about play Conan again... Arnold didn't like the second movie that much.
Arnold has said he only did the movie as a favor. He's not a fan of it. 😂😂
Whos the moaner!?! You later if you play your cards right! Oh geez!🤣🤣🤨😳👍
spat up my drink on that one lmao
If I'm not mistaken (50 years since I read the books), Red Sonja was a pirate captain and Conan served as a buccaneer/1st mate...ahem. This was his 2nd love after Valeria. Speaking of Valeria (Sandahl Bergman), I was surprised, you didn't recognize her, as the evil queen with the dark hair. This story also had nothing to do with the original Conan books.
No, you're thinking of Belit. Robert E Howard had one story with Red Sonya of Rogatino. She was a support character in the story Shadow of the Vulture where she is a Polish mercenary fighting the Turks at the 1529 Siege of Vienna. Roy Thomas adapted that story into Conan the Barbarian #23 and turned the Slavic Sonya into Hyrkanian Sonja since they are rough geographic equivalents.
@@MiLikesVids It's been a long time, I'm sure you are right, but I sure enjoyed the Conan stories and books by Robert E. Howard, L. Sprague De Camp and others that had followed Howard's style of Conan adult fantasy. The originals stories weren't comic books made for kids. Lots of sex and violence pulp fiction. Howard was a brilliant writer whose life was cut down too short, by his own hand. I also loved his Solomon Kane stories. The movie was good, too. Kull the Atlantean wasn't bad stories, but I hated the Kevin Sorbo film. LOL
Dang, Mr. Movies, I want to see you give a movie the full MST3K treatment! Also, Mrs. Movies, Surf Ninjas IS amazing.
The original manuscripts and books of Conan are in the little library in the tiny town of Coleman, TX.
The Sword and the Sorcerer should be next
Towards the end, it reminds me of [ Bonefish Grill ]
Forgot to add the [ " do vs did " ], of course, could ge better dialogue
He's also a very entitled Prince. They don't even EAT their own food. They have servants move their mouths for them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The wife couldn't figure out the priestesses were thrown down the hole and screaming from their wounds and that the hole was closing? Thumbs down. She ain't too bright.
12:25 In his scathing review of "Red Sonja" on his show "Siskel & Ebert at the Movies," film critic Gene Siskel laughed "There's statue of a Buddha that looks like it's... I can't say it. You'll have to watch the movie. NO!!! Don't watch the movie! It looks like its sitting on a toilet!!" He wasn't wrong.
He couldn’t play Conan because of rights issues, but it was written to be called in. They just couldn’t work it out so they changed the name.. so yes, he’s Conan the barbarian
I LOVE your relationship with your daughters, most reactors are only interrupted by their cats. Red Sonja is a TERRIBLE film but it did pave the way for Xena.
Always cracks me up when we catch Mrs Movies clearly looking at herself in the screen off camera. She makes faces alot more now that she has straight white teeth.
This is a decent movie. Brigette & Arnold work well together. xx
This was fun when I saw it on TV, but, I never had a burning desire to see it again. It wasn't the launch for Brigitte that Conan was for Arnie. She became more famous for marrying Sly.
10:00 I reckon they were being crushed as the top closed, like the walls were coming in, that's what I always thought but could be wrong.
Hurt and in pain from the fall. Then, realizing they're gonna be sealed in the darkness until they suffocate or starve to death.
@@richardrobbins387yeah likely, because they'd probably show at least a bit of of the walls coming in to crush them otherwise. I guess it was just I thought I had when I was 10 and it stuck. Damn I was a sick kid lol.
Are you guys going to watch The Sword and The Scorcer?
I wish they would as it is a LOT better than this flick.
I only ever saw that film once, as a kid. I could remember bits of it but never the title until a few years back, should watch it again really :)
4:33 I know you're just joking around, but I thought Mr. Movies actually sounded pretty good.
Speaking of barbarian movie theme songs with odd lyrics, you should watch "Yor: Hunter From The Future" starring Reb Brown. There's a hang gliding scene in it that is at once too stupid and too awesome to miss.
Robert Rodriguez tried to remake this film in 2009, starring Rose McGowan. Even though a lot of Robert E Howard's work is public domain, parts of it are contested and the idea fell into legal and production limbo, all we got as a result was a poster that teased it at comicon.
He probably wanted to use her in that kind of role just because she was his wife at the time. But I don't think it would've worked. McGowan is just too short and Red Sonja absolutely needs to be tall and statuesque.
That isn't Vizzini from Princess Bride...that's Toht from Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
Weird thing is I remember seeing Temple of Doom and this a year later and I kept thinking Reyes' Prince was capitalizing on TOD's Short Round!
The "Flamin A$$hole" reminded me of the Looney Toons background. 😅
