Quote of the movie: "so it is true, only women may touch it"

What was good:

The Soundtrack was really good thanks to genus, Ennio Morricone.

Red Sonja looked really good in that little cloth piece she wore throughout the movie.

There is more red hair in this film than a shedding Irish Setter.

What was bad: The little kid playing the ruler of a land terribly over acts. I am not sure if this is because he is a bad kid actor or if it was suppose to be.

There was a scene where Arnold rides around hitting people from his horse, but in a wide-angle shot, there is nobody dead on the ground.

The special effects for 1985 are fairly lame, including the mechanical spider in the castle lair is so bad-dd.

The costumes were designed as if there was a sale at a early 1980's salvation army. Costume of the movie goes to the oriental old man, "grandmaster", with the white sheet and black straps is quite a sight. With poles that come out of his back, I don't know how he can enter a doorway.

It takes 18 minutes for Arnold to actually read a line.

A fun movie to drink a little and laugh at the action or lack of action. This movie could of been done a lot worse.
