Red Sonja

It’s been an age since we’ve seen Red Sonja… a Hyborian Age in fact! Since the characters creation in 1934, her adaption to comics in 1973 and the first film’s release in 1985, she has caught the minds of innumerable great creators, artists and storytellers. She has also shown up in this film.

After 2008’s aborted Robert Rodriguez helmed version which was to star Rose McGowan, it’s been a long time between drinks for the OG beautiful barbarian. it’s obviously harder to get actors interested in scale mail bikinis in the modern market… it seems you just have to wait long enough and drop the budget enough that eventually someone just says “Screw it, why not?” and thats how we got here…

All four of the review team are in for this review, “Occasionally Red Jill”, “Pleasantly Earth-toned Peta”, and “Concerningly Puce Dion”. Though they are all mightily annoyed with “No Confirmed Colour Quinny” for his terrible choice… He’s in movie-choosing-jail for a while yet to come…

Synopsis

The film follows the adventures of the nomad barbarian Sonja, who unites a group of unlikely warriors to face off against Dragan and his deadly consort Annisia.

As always, a Hyborian high five to the barbarian and babe-arians who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT. And an especially huge thanks to any of the generous stop-motion cycplopses who are kind enough to support us by smashing a tip in our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch… every bit helps us to keep the gladiator pits mucked out and the scale mail polished….

If you feel so inclined drop us a sub we really love them, The more subby mc-sub-faces we get, the more Emotes You get!
