Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Woodyanders Cunning Dark One warrior Kain (nicely essayed with customary low-key laconic cool by David Carradine) wanders the magical world of Ura as a blithely amoral sword-for-hire. Kain winds up at a small village where two evil rival factions -- one led by the cruel Zeg the Tyrant (a perfectly hateful Luke Askew) and the other headed by gross fat degenerate Bal Caz (a deliciously odious William Marin) -- fight over possession of the only well. Kain shrewdly pits both sides against each other while the poor browbeaten villagers watch from the sidelines. Writer/director John Broderick maintains a steady pace throughout, neatly creates a suitably oddball atmosphere, and stages the plentiful exciting bloody sword fights with considerable go-for-it brio. Better still, this film sure doesn't skimp on the delectable gratuitous distaff nudity: Stunning brunette beauty Maria Socas as bewitching sorceress Naja spends the bulk of her screen time topless, plus there's an incredible exotic dancer with four breasts and a substantial number of hot naked babe extras. Leonardo Rodriguez Solis' rough, but attractive cinematography, Louis Saunders' spacey, stirring score and the concise 77 minute running time are likewise up to speed as well. A pleasingly tight'n'trashy Grade B exploitation fantasy version of Akira Kurosawa's classic "Yojimbo."
Tony Taraldsoy The production values of this feature is at a minimun, the acting horrible, David Carradine I gotta laugh out loud at this character. The acting is in fact so bad that I appreciated Arnold's Conan enterpretation. The move sets a new standard for Bad bad bad B movies.The sets are as cheesy as I've ever seen em... The plot is fair enough though. Special effects: laughable, cool talking lizard :PIf you dont have anything better to do, you could check it out but dont expect too much though.
johnmorghen So, it's not the latest Merchant-Ivory production. Let's face it, those blokes could certainly learn a thing or two from the Roger Corman school of filmmaking."THE WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS" has a lot going for it, and bears the distinction of being the only film in motion picture history to ever combine all of the following elements* into a neat 77 minute package AND still manage to pack the kids' lunches, run for Governor of Illinois and pick up last week's dry cleaning all at the same time. What a trooper!*"The following elements"... -- David Carradine -- Tons of naked women -- Sword fights (inept and otherwise) -- Maria Socas running around topless eighty percent of the time -- Cues from James Horner's "HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP" score -- Tons of breasts... the friendly kind -- A fat man and his angry lizard (that astounds like no other animatronic, yet immobile angry lizard ever could!) -- A chick with four... count 'em... four tits (beat that Verhoeven!) -- And, of course... David Carradine.What more could you ask for? A blender? This film deserves it's own category. Peplum Film Noir.If you want to send love this Christmas, give 'em "THE WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS". They'll devour it in 77 minutes flat... and, love you for it, if time permits.
Roland-22 This movie has all the classic elements of a standard fantasy movie - a few good ideas and loads of bad execution. Notable for the appearance of David Carradine who plays just about the most unsympathetic character I've seen him play. Check out the exotic dancer scene, good for a few laughs. The extras were obviously new to acting, since they could hardly have done a worse job. Nevertheless, the script has a decent plot to it.
