The good news is that Brigitte Nielsen is really tall and looks pretty good when she’s swinging a sword. The bad news is everything else that happens in this movie.
Sonja must destroy an evil green orb before Queen Gedren, who killed Sonja’s family because Sonja wouldn’t let her (Gedren) get in her (Sonja’s) pants, can harness the power of the orb to dominate the universe. Along for the ride are the barbarian who wants to get in Sonja’s pants (Arnold), the annoying child prince who knows Karate (your prayer for him to die a grisly death will be rejected), and the prince’s fat servant who beats people up with a thighbone.
A distinctly un-fun entry in the Conan the Barbarian rip-off sweepstakes.
