    Bro I love this movie. A really great thing about your channel is that you cover a bunch of movies I used to watch with my brother. We LOVED Red Sonja! He's passed on, but watching your videos makes me feel a lot like I did when we watched movies together. It's pretty wonderful and it keeps me coming back. Your channel is awesome, man. Thank you for filling a little piece of my heart.

      this means the world to me man. I'm so glad you are enjoying the channel, and that is gives you good feelings. thats my favorite part about movies. it doesn't matter how many years have passed. you will always remember the emotion that a particular movie holds for you. My big comfort movie is The 13th Warrior. which I know sounds bizarre as a comfort movie. But I remember my dad bought the movie on Pay Per View probably 20 times. I kept telling him to just go and buy the movie, but he never did lol. But when I want to return to my childhood and those days, I will always watch The 13th Warrior.

      My brother passed on also and we also watched a lot of movies together, this being one of them . But have to tell a story behind watching this movie with him ( not that you'll ever see this ) . When this came out on VHS, my brother called me into the kitchen, when I walked in he threw pepper in my face . He from watching movies and cartoons thought it would make me sneeze. Problem was it went straight into my eyes. So I watched entire movie with one eye .I literally had to hold one eye closed it burnt so bad even after constantly washing both out .

    This movie is a copyright dodge within a copyright dodge, wrapped in a repackaging, because the creator of Conan, Robert E. Howard didn't create Red Sonja. No, he created Red Sonya, who lived in the Renaissance rather than the Hyborian age, but the comic publishers couldn't get the rights to the Y spelling and wanted to ape off the the Conan popularity so they changed the spelling and inserted her into the wrong time period.

It was the nights where a handful of friends just chilled out and watched bad films whether it was horror or action. When you see those moments of overacting, or a terrible take that somehow made it to final cut. We watched, someone made a zinger of a comment and the room erupts in laughter for an extended period of time. Many times to the point where we need to pause and/or back it up to relive the moment on film and erupt again.

    Hihi, another good one! More curious observations: 1. Sonya's sister is named Varna - a.k.a port in Bulgaria where count Dracula harboured while running from Van Helsing and friends in 19th century. 2. The evil queen is actually Valeria - Conan's lover from "Conan the Barbarian". Also she is imo much more beautiful than Sonya. For me it's like in Superman 2 where the evil woman (don't you play your games with me) is prettier than Lois Lane. 3. The evil king, killed by Sonya, is the German giant soldier, killed by the airplane propeller, in "Indiana Jones 1". He also plays the giant henchman in "Indiana Jones 2" and apparently has a role in "Indiana Jones 3". The first 2 observations date since I was a teen. The third one I just found out when I checked imdb, but it's still fun.

    Costumes are epic in this flick. Reminds me of Flash Gordon. Definitely not the worst Schwarzenegger movie: The Last Stand and/or Junior takes that "honor." Addicted to your channel; keep up the fantastic work!

    I'm sure that's the reason why Arnold's children behaved well around him, and not because they saw Terminator.

    Greg Louganis’ perfect 10 dive (or belly flop?) at 10:43 gets me every time.
    Thanks for reviewing Red Sonja!! Ernie (aka Arnie) Reyes Jr was definitely the highlight of this movie for me. It’s one of those ho-hum films from the 80s but there’s enough bad stuff in it that it’s fun to riff.
