Red Sonja (1985)

Red Sonja is another campy movie from the same time period. Critics bashed it for the most obvious reasons: bad casting, bad acting, even worse writing, and more. However, the Brigitte Nielsen vehicle still holds a place in our hearts, and for the same reason Flash Gordon did. It's not a serious film, although you might wonder at times whether the actors were aware of that or not!

So even if Arnold Schwarzenegger regards it as one of the worst movies of his career, you can’t not enjoy the wooden acting and poorly conceived action sequences as you wonder whether this is an intentional spoof of the Conan films.

Some time ago, Robert Rodriguez announced that he planned to make a Red Sonja reboot with Rose McGowan in the lead role. Since then, the property has changed hands and the reboot has been stuck in limbo, with no real chance of being picked up again.

Seeing how poorly certain sword and sorcery epics have performed, this is understandable. But Wonder Woman broke records, so who knows?
