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 .
@@RedEyeReviews awsome film man have you done the step father films and the house films ? maybe a re - do with ur new found saltyness would be awosme just humblly putting it out there :)
I remember first seeing Red Sonja when I was an 8 or 9 year old kid, after I'd seen Conan the Barbarian, and thinking, "hey, it's Conan... why is he pretending to be some other guy?" the whole movie, lol 🙂
Also, when i think about it, now Who buried Valeria in a pet sematery because she came back wrong and teamed up with the Nazis of raiders of the lost ark during their cosplaying.
"The worst movie he's ever been in," eh? Guess he's never watched Hercules in New York...or Terminator: Dark Fate. Also, love the D&D references. The Barbarian jokes are funny because they're true!
@@loki3292 Nah dude. Conan the Barbarian, Terminator, T2, Total Recall, Predator, True Lies, Last Action Hero... those are all great films and movies like The Running Man, Commando and even T3 are okay and pretty damn entertaining. Has he been in some stinkers? Sure, but to say that every movie he has ever been in has been bad just isn't true.
This is the first time RUclips has recommended your channel to me and i wish it had happened sooner. This review was hilarious. 🤣 That fight scene between Brigitte and Arnold is so weird because it's obvious to the audience that it's foreplay for the two characters but in the background the kid is watching and trying to imitate some of their moves, not understanding that he's watching foreplay. 😂
Sandahl Bergman was too good for this movie. She was much more believable with a sword and IMO more attractive than Brigitte. Shame she didnt get more movies.
Fun fact: Bergman wanted the role Sonja but the producers insisted on casting an "unknown" in the part. This was done purely cause it had worked before with Arnold.
I spent my covid quarantine learning way more about Steven seagal’s filmography than I intended but I’m glad you’re putting out quality content fairly often. Also, you gotta give us Gymkata
12K subs?? Dude, it feels like only last week you had 3K. You're a freakin beast. I download your videos and watch them when I go on trips, I'm excited to see your channel take off so I have more awesome stuff to watch. Keep it up brother! May Seagal be with you.
Thank you so much! The channel has blown up lately :) its been a really crazy couple of months :D That is so cool. You are the first person to say they have downloaded the videos. and that makes me so happy :) Starting to feel like a real RUclipsr
@@RedEyeReviews Haha well I thought you were a real youtuber back at 1K. I'll be sure to wish you a happy 20K when you hit it in another month, at this rate.
You may think that Arnold's affair with Brigitte is not funny. But actually it is as he was with Maria Shiver already :D Brigitte wanted to continue their "relationship" but Arnold was like "No way, I have a girlfriend... Now...." :D Source: Arnold's book Total Recall.
How could they possibly screw up Red Sonjas‘ comicbook costume? It was the 80s…they had Brigitte Nielsen…it’s a friggin chainmail bikini…how could that have gone wrong? 🤷🏻♂️
I doubt Brigitte wanted to be seen walking around half nude in a steel thong. So her being in this costume was a close second. They still could’ve give her silver or shine metal parts on her gear still.
Arnold's acting is just wonderful. The way he said she is dead was hilarious. This movie was different when I was a kid. Great review though man as always super funny and entertaining.
Your D&D reference at the end about "try being a bard, you don't need to be a strength character" and how that never works out had me rolling! Funny shit
I remember Arnold got hit with an egg as governor and the man was forced to watch red Sonja until he begged for mercy. True story, my cousins friends saw it happen
lol thank you so much Carlton :) I have been quoting this to my fiancée for a few days now lol. I just walk up and put my hand on her shoulder "..........she's dead"
The sound effect when the glowing sword appeared on screen... that got me. Awesome. Then the achievement pop up... Getting better every video. Loving it.
I assume that the text about Red Sonja at the begging of this epic was written by somebody who's previous work consisted of writing schoolbooks or filling bubbles in comic books: "This is a girl. Her name is Sonja. She has red hair and great mullet. Etc etc"
Fun nerd fact: The sound at 5:19 (among others from the movie) was used in the Amiga game 'Barbarian - The Ultimate Warrior'. I noticed this when I was young, which probably meant (a) I played the game too much, and (b) I should have got out more. I suppose (b) also still applies today since I am commenting on it 34 years later.
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.
Nice work ReR. Your channel should have waaaay more subs. Not sure why my recommended didn't pop you up a long ago! Keep it up! Between you and I though, I loved Red Sonja back in the day. hahaha :)
I started watching this channel a couple weeks ago, I think there was like 7k subs, every time I watch these I see the numbers rising. Well deserved. Keep up the great work, there's plenty of awesomely bad movies to review!!!
@@RedEyeReviews no, than you my friend. My high school and college days I don't necessarily think about the parties I went to. 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. Keep doing what you are doing. Game recognizes game. And I love what you do on the channel.
actually the individual responsible for the chain mail bikini look is a man called Frank Frazetta, who got his start in 1944, but i'm not gonna go over his whole thing here, i'm sure he's been covered on youtube a few times already, anywho, he did some art for conan here and their and his style is what influenced the entire chainmail bikini thing, sure conan and red sonja made it popular and bumped it into main stream, but it all started with frank, heck even, Yusuke Nakaon, lead artist for Legend of Zelda, names frank as a big part of his inspiration, in fact, one of the early designs he'd done for link in i think link to the past or oot had his dressing more barbaric, but nintendo didn't like steering away from the titular green tunic so it was scrapped, i think it's part of the reason theirs a barbarian style set in breath of the wild possibley
The "epi-toam" of "hyper-bowl" gave me a nice chuckle 🙂 PS-- The fact that this video dropped 13 hours ago-- as I'm typing this --and I didn't get a notification, or see the video in my subscribed feed or my home feed, really irks me! I'm subbed and have hit the full notification icon, yet _still_ I had to stumble onto this video in the video suggestions section of another video. I hate how RUclips decides what videos you get to know about, regardless of your own preferences and what notification level you pick for a subbed channel! Bah!
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.
Thank you so much! The queen is very pretty, but I'm Irish, so I can't get away from Redheads lol. So she never stood a chance against Sonja in my head. That giant German is in SO many movies lol. I see him all over the movies I review
@@RedEyeReviews Haha, well, Brigitte Nilson is not actually red (no Jessica Chastain here, my friend::)) and Valeria is blonde and not brunette.Anyway, since I have seen her for a first time in a movie - that was in "Beverly Hills cop 2" I really disliked Brigitte. She has this very cold appearance that is almost disturbing. And even in the scenes in your review - you can see how not very feminine she looks with her not natural legs, posture and back.
I started with Karate Corner, and subbed from there....but you have all my likes now! The review was amazing, but the D&D reference has earned you an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner!
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.
Man, I love your content, just wondering how you can keep up the pace in which you release your (great) videos. Do you have a "normal" life as well? You eat and sleep sometimes? ;) Keep up the good work and thank you for all the entertainment you provide! All the best from the Shellshocked Radio Channel!
Aww thank you! It's basically my only hobby at this point. But I really love doing it. I'm trying to make a push to turn it into a job maybe by the end of the year or next. Thank you so much for the kind words. :)
@@RedEyeReviews I wish you the best of luck! Trying to become a bit more RUclips Professional myself, but compared with you and your quality ... I'm faaaaaar off ;) Anyway, may your dreams and aspirations come true! You deserve it!
@Shellshocked Radio aww thank you so much! Just enjoy what you are doing and it will work itself out. We need to keep the fun and love in our content and the right communities will find us :) best of luck to you as well
I absolutely loved these sword and sorcery movies in the VHS times, and not much changed since. :D There are many movies like this, like Gor, Beastmaster, the Ator movies etc.
Holy Crap haven't seen this since '92 when I was only a kid back when we had Beta tapes. My mum used to call it Red Soda lol! Still Brigitte looked fairly great here before she cut her hair!
i would like to ask for "universal soldier" and my favorate movie from the 80 ies "they live". Thank you for a great way to reexperience these movies, without totaly destroying the memories.
I want Arnold in season three of The Witcher. He can literally just grunt the whole and fit right in. Also, so awesome to see the channel growth! Feel like I started watching you a month or two ago and your subs have almost doubled. Keep up the good work!
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!
Epitome 🤣 I see what you did there, poor Shia 😂🤦🏾♀️ Thank you for the laugh! Carrying the stone was very similar to the movie " The Golden Child" placing a basket, carrying with oblong tools etc. Even the exit ☺️Hugs from Asia 🌺 Sidenote - The son by the families domestic helper I hope can take/understand a joke!
Love this channel!! Just finding it now. I loved this movie as a kid, but always realized how horrible it was. Ernie Reyes Jr's fight scene with "Ikol" and the way he kills him is so amazing though hahah. "IKOL! GEDREN'S! BLACK! SPIDER!!!" "With MY GOLD? HABLAK'S GOLD!??? Yaaaahhhh! Sup-Sup! hiyaaaaaah!"
This movie has ARNOLD Toht from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' AND The Beast Rabban from David Lynch's 'Dune' in it! Also, it's not a bad movie. Kinda like how 'Crimewave' is supposedly so terrible that Sam Raimi disavowed it, but it's still entertaining from the viewer's perspective. 11:06 It's implied to be based on Atlantean technology. Right? 13:01 Which is a healthy meal, btw. 14:15 Just like Sloth from 'The Goonies'. 16:01 Falcon is an underappreciated character. Sonja appreciates him, though. She even tries to get the bratty prince to be more like Falcon.
So I just found your channel within the past few weeks, but I'm so glad this video finally you acknowledge that you say "Xscape" 😂 it's been driving me mad

People old enough to remember drive-in movies will understand how it was possible to both see Red Sonja and not see it at the same time.
I remember first seeing Red Sonja when I was an 8 or 9 year old kid, after I'd seen Conan the Barbarian, and thinking, "hey, it's Conan... why is he pretending to be some other guy?" the whole movie, lol 🙂
I had the same situation

Heh i saw it at about 10, and i must have missed when they called him by name because i spent the whole movie thinking it was Conan.☺️
Also, when i think about it, now

"The worst movie he's ever been in," eh? Guess he's never watched Hercules in New York...or Terminator: Dark Fate. Also, love the D&D references. The Barbarian jokes are funny because they're true!

@@albion65 it helps if the unknown also has talent, lol
@@albion65 I thought it was Bergman herself who turned down the role because she didn't want to be typecast.

I remember Arnold got hit with an egg as governor and the man was forced to watch red Sonja until he begged for mercy. True story, my cousins friends saw it happen
also the actress that plays the queen that sonja fights at the end, thats the same actress that played conans woman vilaria in the conan movies

there's a fan theory that Arnold's character really is Conan, he's king at this point and traveling under a fake name.
Dude, it's not like Conan was exactly wearing full plate mail in his comics. She wore more armor than he did.
I just noticed something.
Fun fact: The "EYAK" said by the guy at 5:19 is used in a 1987 Amiga game, Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior

In order to teach Prince Tarn some manners he was forced to wear a turtle costume in one film and play a pizza delivery boy in the sequel.

The white knight commenting about how tight red sonjas dresses were clearly hasnt ever watched heman. At least Sonja wears something over her torso.
I can sleep well knowing Arnold, Sly Stallone and Flavor Flav are all Eskimo brothers.
Although Arnold doesn't play Conan in this movie, in Turkey, the film is actually called "Conan 3".
I used to love this movie as a kid! I thoroughly enjoyed your take 👍🏾
Ennio Morricone's score for this film is extremely epic!
it is, but all i can say is watch conan the barbarian opening music score!
@@Andy-li2px That wasn't Ennio Morricone

And Bodyguard Falkon (Paul Smith) plays also Rabban Harkonnen in David Lynchs Dune.
They should have made red Sonya's outfit more like the comic book
I'm sure that's the reason why Arnold's children behaved well around him, and not because they saw Terminator.
If Arnold thinks this is the worst movie, he either forgot Hercules in New York or he purposely insulted Red SonYa 😂
Evil henchman reminds me of the SS guy from Raiders, was it the same guy?

Aww thank you! It's basically my only hobby at this point. But I really love doing it. I'm trying to make a push to turn it into a job maybe by the end of the year or next.
Thank you so much for the kind words. :)
@@RedEyeReviews I wish you the best of luck! Trying to become a bit more RUclips Professional myself, but compared with you and your quality ... I'm faaaaaar off ;) Anyway, may your dreams and aspirations come true! You deserve it!
@Shellshocked Radio aww thank you so much! Just enjoy what you are doing and it will work itself out. We need to keep the fun and love in our content and the right communities will find us :) best of luck to you as well
I never realised the educational value of this movie
I absolutely loved these sword and sorcery movies in the VHS times, and not much changed since. :D There are many movies like this, like Gor, Beastmaster, the Ator movies etc.
Music was done by Ennio Morricone and what a treat that was
Fantastic, Ive been waiting for this movie review. Cheers mate.
Loved this movie as a kid, and honestly, you’ve gotta respect how good the effects look all things considered
Fun Fact: Red Sonja ALSO had affair with Rocky Balboa!
And it was WONDERFUL
this channel deserves about 2.2m more subs
This was marketed as 'Kalidor the gladiator' in Greece. Came in vhs only. The cover featured Arnold mostly. Back in 198x, when life was still good
Oh wow that's a cool trivia bit
I never knew this Arnold movie existed. But, yes those were definitely jeans 👖 in that scene lol 😂!! Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you so much!
I'm a 80's kid and grow up loving this movie one of my old fav's, use to come on cable all the time
Holy Crap haven't seen this since '92 when I was only a kid back when we had Beta tapes. My mum used to call it Red Soda lol! Still Brigitte looked fairly great here before she cut her hair!
For the most part, I think I would enjoy these movies most through your reviews. I think you're way more entertaining than they are. :D
Whatever happened to Ernie Reyes Jr. I just think of surf ninjas lol "Move your arms, bend your knees" 😄
i would like to ask for "universal soldier" and my favorate movie from the 80 ies "they live".
Thank you for a great way to reexperience these movies, without totaly destroying the memories.
Absolutely! It is for sure on my list
love the channel,subscribed.
So glad you like it
I always loved the opening music to this film. Proper epic stuff.
it sells the movie
I want Arnold in season three of The Witcher. He can literally just grunt the whole and fit right in. Also, so awesome to see the channel growth! Feel like I started watching you a month or two ago and your subs have almost doubled. Keep up the good work!
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!
Epitome 🤣 I see what you did there, poor Shia 😂🤦🏾♀️ Thank you for the laugh! Carrying the stone was very similar to the movie " The Golden Child" placing a basket, carrying with oblong tools etc. Even the exit ☺️Hugs from Asia 🌺
Sidenote - The son by the families domestic helper I hope can take/understand a joke!
I'm so glad you got some laughs out of it :)
I remember the Golden Child but it's been years though. I should rewatch it
That's a heck of a claim that Red Sonja was his worst film coming from a guy that was in Hercules in NY.
🤣🤣🤣So true!👍
Heck ya! Great content as always!
Thank you!
Just rewatched this movie and I'm amazed at the lack of music, soundtrack. Lol. So many action scenes with just footsteps and grunts
The kid actor Ernie Reyes Jr. actually has a GoFundMe running right now to pay for his kidney transplant
Oh wow. Link?
@@RedEyeReviews tried leaving it in another comment but YT didn't let it go through but it's on the first page of his Google search.
Love this channel!! Just finding it now. I loved this movie as a kid, but always realized how horrible it was. Ernie Reyes Jr's fight scene with "Ikol" and the way he kills him is so amazing though hahah.
"IKOL! GEDREN'S! BLACK! SPIDER!!!"
"With MY GOLD? HABLAK'S GOLD!??? Yaaaahhhh! Sup-Sup! hiyaaaaaah!"
16:42..that flying costume looks familiar. Is it from The Barbarians?
Funny. I was gonna suggest this when I said you should do a Ernie Reyes Jr playlist.
This movie has ARNOLD Toht from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' AND The Beast Rabban from David Lynch's 'Dune' in it! Also, it's not a bad movie. Kinda like how 'Crimewave' is supposedly so terrible that Sam Raimi disavowed it, but it's still entertaining from the viewer's perspective.
11:06 It's implied to be based on Atlantean technology. Right?
13:01 Which is a healthy meal, btw.
14:15 Just like Sloth from 'The Goonies'.
16:01 Falcon is an underappreciated character. Sonja appreciates him, though. She even tries to get the bratty prince to be more like Falcon.
8:24 - There's my friend, [Uncle] Pat Roach (RIP), always getting killed by someone!! :D
Love your channel!! I just hit Subscribe!!! But without a doubt the next review needs to be Guyver ,also Guyver 2 Dark Hero. Great “B” Movie
The first one is on the list. but for sure I will add the second one
My first wife was the same way. I had to defeat her in battle.
Great vid loving your channel bug fan in liverpool England
Thank you so much!!!
So I just found your channel within the past few weeks, but I'm so glad this video finally you acknowledge that you say "Xscape" 😂 it's been driving me mad
Hahahaha. It's hard man! I mess it up so much
Dude, this new style you have in the way you use your voice and make wise crack jokes......a very good stick.keep on the works
aww thank you! I enjoy it as well
I guess a Batman joke during the rock climbing scene would have been too easy.
You can’t mess with Red Sonja, this was a classic!
This channel gets better and better
Aww thank you
Subbed, loved al of it
Red Sonja or Conan 3? You decide 😇
I love this show.ur narration is awesome dude
Thank you so much!
Frick yeah! So glad I found this channel. Thanks for the endless entertainment. Much love from Alabama.
@@gmeeer9165 So funny and ORIGINAL! You should do open mic stand-up and share your brilliant comic wit with everyone.
Thank you so much! So glad you are enjoying everything :)
