Never was there so much bad acting by so many people. If I was doing a course on bad acting I would open with the clip where Arnold says 'your sister's dying' to the heroine in tones that emphasize he couldn't give a damn.

The sister's death scene with Red Sonja is also classic. And Sonja has a mullet. I never quite imagined an epic swordswoman with a mullet.

ETA: To my delight they have just tossed in the world's worst child actor. It's like a race to the thespian sewer. With mullets.

ETA 2: Sonja and Arnold are having a loooove scene. It is like watching elephants trying to dance.

ETA 3: Ooh shakey camera work signifies not passion but 'another kingdom enslaved.' Sonja says it's been enslaved with the tone of voice that one would use to announce that there's been a spill on aisle one.

ETA 4: My favourite bit about this movie is that the evil Queen Gedren has a giant room filled with candles, which appears to serve no other function except to have the climactic duel in. And be above a giant lava pit, so she will fall in it.

Pretty much my reaction. I WISH I COULD UNSEE THAT.

How is it that you have not seen the epic masterpiece of unintentional comedy that is Red Sonja before now? If I had known that, I would have recced it to you ages ago!

I'm not sure. I have seen Conan but blocked most of it from my memory as a self-defence mechanism.

Ohh, I loved this when I was about 9. Me and 2 friends used to re-enact some of the shoutier moments and I think I quite wanted to be her when I grew up. Minus the mullet, obvs.

Well, Sonja does ride away on a horse rather well. It's a real skill. Plus there's the giant sword.

I love this movie to death because it really is just that bad.

It might be the perfect bad movie. Well, it would be if Showgirls didn't exist.
