Red Sonia

1985-Fantasy
Arnold Schwarzenegger/Brigitte Nielsen

As a young child, watching this movie wowed and amazed me with its beauty, story, and battles. I loved the romance between the characters and always viewed this film like the unofficial 'Conan 3'. Time to see how this movie fared off with its age.

Synopsis:
Red Sonia is a girl left for dead by a wicked queen/warlord. Her capture, abuse, and ravishing turned her away from men. As she grew older, she studied the arts of killing and goes on a quest avenging her sisters (amazon priestess) and past, along her way she is meet with a mysterious and powerful stranger (Schwarzenegger) and a young prince & servant.

All-in-All:
I would like to say that this film is still better than Conan 2, and I'm glad that the whole sword and sorcery genre is experiencing a comeback and is currently going strong. A classic to the fans of the genre, Finally revealing a woman as a lead roll and not just eye candy or plot device.
