RED SONJA plays sort of like a female Conan, and a bad one at that. Gedren (Sandahl Bergman) is an evil queen who kills Sonja's (Brigitte Nielsen) family then has her thugs rape the innocent young woman. Naturally a little revenge is in order, and, courtesy of a mystical vision, Sonja
acquires extraordinary powers (as well as a sexy metal outfit). In return for these newfound qualities, Sonja promises to hang onto her virtue and proceeds with her mission. Eventually, after hooking up with a bratty prince (Ernie Reyes, Jr.) and his gargantuan assistant (Paul Smith), Sonja unites
with Kalidor (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and discovers that he's just as handy with a sword ...
