Apparently they couldn’t get the rights to the name *Conan,* for this movie but, because there was (at least, as far as my research has been able to ascertain) a comic adventure in which *Conan* used the name *"Kalidor"* (though I couldn’t find confirmation of exactly _why_ he does it), they were able to use _that_ name instead.
Red Sonja was not a character in the original Robert E. Howard Conan stories but was a character in his short historical story The Shadow of the Vulture which takes place when the Turks laid siege to Vienna. She was not associated with Conan until the Marvel Comics adaptation in the 70s.
In "The Shadow of the Vulture" the character was named Red Sonya. So the Marvel character was the "it's a different character" while still being basically the same character adapted.
@@Logan_Baron It's not really the same character at all, other than being vaguely inspired by Howard's character. Red Sonya (Howard's character) is a gunslinger from the 16th century.
Hey, Mr. and Mrs.! Red Sonja is a Marvel Comics creation that transplanted one of Robert E. Howard's historical fiction creations into the Hyborian Age of Conan. The actual Red Sonya of Rogatino character Howard crafted was a Polish-Ukrainian mercenary who fought the Ottoman Turks during the Siege of Vienna in 1529 in the story "The Shadow of the Vulture".
17:25 - BRYTAG - Portrayed by English actor/former wrestler Pat Roach. He appeared in the first three 'Indiana Jones' movies. Big Sherpa/German mechanic decapitated by plane propeller (Raiders. Two roles), mine overseer (Temple) & Gestapo Officer (Crusade). In Conan the Destroyer he portrayed Man Ape / Thoth-Amon, a Celtic Chieftan in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and is known for portraying Brian "Bomber" Busbridge in popular British tv series, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
Which was such bullshit. They put him in this because of the success of Conan, they didn't think this movie could stand without him in it then kept dicking him around on the next Conan film.
You can see a few episodes on UA-cam, last time I checked. It’s preposterous a kid can do martial arts on grownups and defeat them. But Short Round did it for a few minutes in Temple of Doom. BTW, that’s not the “inconceivable” guy from Princess Bride. That’s the burnt hand German National Socialist Party member from Raiders of the Lost Ark. and Queen Gedrin is Sandhal Bergman- Conan’s old girlfriend

both Arnold and Sandra were contracted to make 3 Conan movies. When Dino offer this move to Arnold he as that this fulfilled this contract for conan. As Arnold was no in high demand. this at this the reason the third conan was not made. The contract was done.

I love you guys! I never thought I could have so much fun watching someone watch a movie, especially the sword and sorcery films you've viewed the last few weeks.
I loved how in Conan he is super in love with Sandahl Bergman the hot blonde thief. But in Red Sonja she plays the evil queen with a mask. Now that's good acting.

It's my opinion that Conan the Destroyer is better than the Red Sonja movie. Destroyer is no Conan the Barbarian which is far superior, but still an enjoyable film. Mrs. Movies nailed the opening narration and I loved Mr. Movies lyrics to the music. Fun reaction. I'm looking forward to Return of the Living Dead too.
A fan theory is that, this takes place after Conan became king. He uses the name *Kalidor* to fool would-be assassins. Fun facts: Sandahl Bergman was asked to be Red Sonja but she thought it was too close to Valeria, so she asked to play the villainess and got it! -Brytag and his people are Dagon worshipers, hence their sea creature clothing. Pat Roach (Brytag) was the big baddie in the first two Indiana Jones movies. -Arnold and Bridgette were a couple during the making of this film and both regretted going their separate ways, after the film ended. -Sven Ole Thorsen (from Conan 1&2) also appears in this film, as the Queens overly muscled bodyguard. -The topless dancer was added because of the complete lack of nudity in the film. Like Destroyer, this movie was aimed more towards a younger audience. Had it been a hard "R" like the first Conan, they would have had to recast the prince.
The actress playing the hot handmaiden (that touched the green stone in the beginning) is a niece of the legendary actor Klaus Kinski. (For some reason that is almost all the trivia I've bothered to memorize from this movie.)
I too loved thos as a kid!! But yeah always thought arnold was Conan in this until i was older and i was like wait he has a different name.. but thought sonja was so beautiful!
With swords beyond a certain baseline strength mainly helps with endurance, so if it's a quick fight the biggest advantage a large man has might be reach (which is a big advantage). Unless he's inexperienced or stupid and swings wildly, in which case he has a good chance of being gutted. Or losing his fingers. "Only women may touch it". I confess, I have a rule like that. I think the main weakness in this film is that Arnold's line delivery is the best.
I am sad to see that Red Sonja is the last of the sword and sorcery 80s films. I hope you continue this series of movies eventually down the road. There are so many includibg medieval ones: Dragonslayer, Willow, Ladyhawk, Barbarians, and the aptly named the Sword and the Sorcerer.
The kid (Ernie Reyes Jr.) isn't just of Ninja Turtles and Surf Ninjas fame. The same year Red Sonya released he was also starred (briefly but memorably) in Motown's one and only martial arts feature film The Last Dragon. The Last Dragon is amazing. Right smack dab in the middle of the 80's (and oh boy can you tell). Mixed with Motown. A dash of bad acting. And a heavy dose of black exploitation martial artistry. Iconic mix. Cult classic. You two would get a kick out of it.
Ah, I was wondering if you'd watch this. Brace yourselves, folks. I remember seeing this in the theater and noticing Brigitte Nielsen's smallpox vaccination scar in a scene and wondering why they couldn't have covered that up.
08:00 No, it is not him. That is Ronald Lacey who played the Gestapo agent in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Pat Roach, the big guy Indy fights under the plane, is also in this film.
How thick are those walls if the women can't hear all those horses trampling around? I mean one or two that are just chilling out might be overlooked, but a whole herd trampling around heavily like that??
I finally figured out what I find so enjoyable about watching you two react to movies/tv shows --- You are like watching Mystery Science Theater but better!!!! :) Keep up the great videos!
You need to understand the history of the sources for Conan, Red Sonja and Kull. All of them where novels from R.E. Howard. From a time of pulp stories in 1930s & 40s. A lot of stuff then was written to pay the bills, not to be literature. They were fun, I have been a Conan fan since I was a kid. The movies are not close to the books but have some elements of them.
Loved the reply to " Who's moaning? ", ahhahaha! 😂😂 I would suggest that if you like this and haven't yet seen it ' Krull ' is an interesting movie to watch. The conan series aren't too bad although of course, rather dated now. I believe that he and Bridget got together having met in this movie although I could be wrong. A great reaction guys.
OMG Krull is awesome! When I saw it in the movies on its release, I was underwhelmed. But then they had a video game version of it in the arcade (I was in my mid-teens when I saw it) at the Mall and I watched it on cable again and I loved it ever since! It definitely belongs on the YM&TM playlist!
@@JONSEY101 I don’t see a problem at all with the fax,and I thought the movie had a great sense of adventure about it.I think it would be great to see all these characters involved in a new story.
Some people really HATE this movie. I suspended my disbelief a long time ago and grabbed the popcorn. It's not Laserblast or Highlander 2: The Quickening.
Why does everyone hate this? The acting is atrocious but it is hilarious. I love RS. I also laughed at Highlander 2. People have to lighten up about movies that are supposed to be bad.
He couldn’t play Conan because of rights issues, but it was written to be called in. They just couldn’t work it out so they changed the name.. so yes, he’s Conan the barbarian
I’ve read that Arnold only took on this to fulfill his 3 picture contract with producer Dino De Laurentiis after the disappointment of Conan the Destroyer. Now what’s funny about this film is that he considers it to be his worst film that he used to make his kids watch it as punishment whenever they got in trouble.
Mrs.Movies’ Conan canon makes sense to me.Also,humility ain’t the only thing that kid lacks(I’m talking about acting ability,but I’m sure you knew that).
Robert Rodriguez tried to remake this film in 2009, starring Rose McGowan. Even though a lot of Robert E Howard's work is public domain, parts of it are contested and the idea fell into legal and production limbo, all we got as a result was a poster that teased it at comicon.
He probably wanted to use her in that kind of role just because she was his wife at the time. But I don't think it would've worked. McGowan is just too short and Red Sonja absolutely needs to be tall and statuesque.
as someone who had a nightmare of being buried alive, that scene where all the female warriors were trapped in the hole, that scene was deeply unnerving and sad, and still is....let me be slowly crushed by a rolling door over that any day, and since we don't see them again, even Arnold can't free them,
@You, Me, & The Movies Y'know while many reactors have done Conan The Barbarian and Conan The Destroyer, you definitely have to be one of the first reacting to Red Sonja, right f'ng on!
21:52 I kid you not, I was taking a drink of water when this scene came up and did a spit take which soaked my iPad, HAHAHAHAHA!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🥲 *I’m sending you guys the bill* 🤑
4:33 I know you're just joking around, but I thought Mr. Movies actually sounded pretty good. Speaking of barbarian movie theme songs with odd lyrics, you should watch "Yor: Hunter From The Future" starring Reb Brown. There's a hang gliding scene in it that is at once too stupid and too awesome to miss.
12:25 In his scathing review of "Red Sonja" on his show "Siskel & Ebert at the Movies," film critic Gene Siskel laughed "There's statue of a Buddha that looks like it's... I can't say it. You'll have to watch the movie. NO!!! Don't watch the movie! It looks like its sitting on a toilet!!" He wasn't wrong.
I’ll tell ya, as a little red headed girl growing up in the 80’s, Red Sonja was IT. Must have watched this movie 100 times.
Awesome comics too.
Or red haired boys too tbh...
I'd say this film started me on a lifelong obsession w/ redheads.
@@3Kings_Industries Wilma Flintstone, Ariel, Princess Lila, Jessica Rabbit, Kim Possible, oh yeah, I remember.
This movie as a kid made all the red headed girls in school more appealing. Red Tonya was a good watch for it's time.

This movie is the reason we didn't get King Conan. They hired Arnold to play a small bit part, but they kept putting him on the call sheet for weeks.
He's supposedly doing it still, heard recently. It'll be about one last adventure.
Arnold would have loved to do more Conan movies , if they had followed Conan storyline and kept it R-rated .
Too be honest, this film would have failed without Arnold, the movie is terrible, only good thing about the movie was Arnold.
Which was such bullshit. They put him in this because of the success of Conan, they didn't think this movie could stand without him in it then kept dicking him around on the next Conan film.

Forgot to add the [ " do vs did " ], of course, could ge better dialogue
"No man can have me, unless he beats me in a fair fight!"
Seems to be the standard nowadays ^^
He's also a very entitled Prince. They don't even EAT their own food. They have servants move their mouths for them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
as someone who had a nightmare of being buried alive, that scene where all the female warriors were trapped in the hole, that scene was deeply unnerving and sad, and still is....let me be slowly crushed by a rolling door over that any day, and since we don't see them again, even Arnold can't free them,
Kid looks like Bolo Yeung lol.
The original manuscripts and books of Conan are in the little library in the tiny town of Coleman, TX.

4:33 I know you're just joking around, but I thought Mr. Movies actually sounded pretty good.
Speaking of barbarian movie theme songs with odd lyrics, you should watch "Yor: Hunter From The Future" starring Reb Brown. There's a hang gliding scene in it that is at once too stupid and too awesome to miss.
12:25 In his scathing review of "Red Sonja" on his show "Siskel & Ebert at the Movies," film critic Gene Siskel laughed "There's statue of a Buddha that looks like it's... I can't say it. You'll have to watch the movie. NO!!! Don't watch the movie! It looks like its sitting on a toilet!!" He wasn't wrong.
