"You let your pain kill you years ago. I'm gonna live with mine."
Powerful.
@Anonymous Empire If that was the case, she wouldn't redeemed Callisto...The whole point of her storyline is dealing with past sins...
She was the walking dead, and the walking wrath
Badass
❤
The shows back in the day were the best. There’s no shows like this anymore.
got that right dude i actually believe these chicks are crazy
I want to say there are still arrowverse shows, but they are so boring
Almir Yandi I used to watch Flash but I can’t be bothered with those shows anymore.
Spartacus is a newer show and it's much better than this
You literally cannot remake TV shows like Xena Warrior Princess in this day and age.
Calisto made revenge against Xena her entire life, and now that she's accomplished it, she realizes that the pain is still there. She has nothing to live for now. That's a sentence worse than death.
Especially since she can't die
All she needs is a dagger that could kill an immortal.
She never had anything to live for, that is her tragedy.
She told Ares when she had her revenge he could have what's left. She got her revenge but had no emotion left.
@@TheChryystaland calisto evdbfu got get get xena pregnant with her child
I always loved to see Xena fighting Callisto. It was always epic.
Δημήτρης Μπάρδας i agree it’s like Buffy versus Faith the feud is deeper physical they have vendetta
I agree totally. Their fight scenes were classic. T
It's normally a classic, but I hate this "battle." Callisto barely does anything and doesn't even want to fight.
@@Nepthu That was the problem with Callisto ever since she became a god. The writers had to either nerf Callisto to make her a match for Xena or have Callisto fight Hercules more often. Actually all gods were nerfed by the writers on Xena while on Hercules all of the gods were really godly.
Omg 2020 Hollywood TAKE NOTES!!! This is how you do a female lead TV show!! I remember Xena and Callisto had MAJOR BEEF back in the day
Sanatuary was good
xena was both boring and campy lmao mosy episodes are filler.
@@itzzy1859 yet curiously you are here watching something you find boring. Pretty pathetic!
@@wkworld6741 it is boring and campy but at the same time i watch it a lot
Yass 👏👏👏
I love how Xena and Callisto are opposites; Xena brunette with bright blue eyes, Callisto blonde with brown eyes
How does the hair and eye color make them opposites.?
@@leanture3685 what the fuck is wrong with you
Actually the writers meant for Callisto to have dark hair like xena but when the saw the actress they changed their mind
@@leanture3685 lol
I like the contrast lol
I loved watching Xena as a kid and Callisto was my favorite villain (and crush).
Lucy Lawless and Hudson Leick still look amazing today! (Both in their 50s I think)
Yep. Hudson is a huge Yoga advocate. And yes, she hasn't lost her beautiful looks at all.
I kinda a crush on both and Gabrielle as well
22 years later and the special effects are still top notch. My favourite childhood show.
You must be joking about the special effects...
I agree about the special effects. They were good but still cheesy lol
Still? 🤨
you must be trolling.
22 years later, people crying in the internets about female lead characters. Or how its impossible for a female to beat up people in movies like its new.
I love her "shift" into the line . . "I'm warning you Xena, you're nothing to me now"
Good fight.
Callisto is to Xena what The Joker is to Batman.
SethBrundleify except Xena kills her joker like twice
SethBrundleify kinda opposite. Xena created Callisto because she killed her family. Callisto is like Batman but grew up in wrong path.
@@pauldesigncomics2625 I'd say she more like Martha Wayne/Flashpoint Joker.
I never watched the show. From what I see in the video is that xena is beating the crap out of the blond girl and basically killing her
K. schlau Callisto actually let Xena beat her. She was not interested in fighting Xena. Callisto can easily keep up with Xena’s fighting skills. Plus, Callisto cannot be killed, she’s immortal. She’s a goddess. In the Show she recovers from the falling rocks and comes back eventually.
My wife wore Callisto outfit for my 30th…. I love my life
Callisto forgot she could teleport. Anytime they had Xena fight a god and the writers wanted the god to lose, they suddenly forgot half their powers.
I was thinking the same thing... I thought God's were immortal and never get tired out or felt injuries.
@@leonk7568 they can't feel injuries from mortals but other god like beings can hurt them. I don't think Xena is human
@@chadbaker3117 Right this is true, nobody didn't make it clear enough but other's believe xena to be some type of an descendant deity or something else altogether!? Just like in other episode so people called xena abomination and she is not natural but unnatural who got the strength of 10 are more man's. There's more but I dont want to be here that long 😅🤣😂. But yeah xena abilities and skills isn't normal. Plus she got that extra sense! You know the one that reminds us fan's that xena got Spider-Man sense powers 🤣😅😂. She know when she is in a dangerous situations.
No one taught her how to teleport while being distracted . Plus velasca was a god too she didn’t teleport
@@chadbaker3117 As far as I remember, Xena was not just human. During her battle with the gods of Olympus, someone said that Xena is half God. That's why Xena defeated the God of Olympus.
We need strong women like Xena back on television
We have Supergirl, Batwoman, and plenty more.
Give me a break. These days strong women are a dime a dozen, most of written horribly.
Great female characters are capable of being things other than "strong", ffs
@Messalina You mean Alexa, the computer voice is a strong female who doubles as a government spy?
I will take Xena, Buffy Summers, Wonder Woman, and Max Guevara over Captain Marvel and Batwoman.
UA-cam decided that I wanted to watch Xena videos for some reason.
That's how I got here
Xena = chaotic good
Kalisto = chaotic evil
They really needed more Hudson close-ups. She has nuanced facial expressions for every line, and can convey the whole plethora of Callisto’s tormented emotions...but too often the camera cuts away or pulls back too far to really take it all in. Hudson was so unappreciated in Hollywood. She could say more with a couple of gestures than most actors could with an entire monologue.
Agree completely.
Yes!!! Thank you! This right here is exactly right. Well said! Her performance was lightning in a bottle. Pun intended.
I miss this show. Once it came out I almost forgot about Hercules and only watched Xena. Lucy Lawless should have been Wonder Woman.
In my region at the time, WGN aired Hercules and Xena back to back. It was their Friday prime time. I loved both shows.
Same & Lucy Lawless did get to (finally) play WW, in an animated feature! I'm surprised no one posted this yet...aw well here I am.
I agree. I wanted this years ago as a kid. My friends thought I was crazy but Lucy Lawless would have been the best choice during the 90s right around the time when Batman and Robin came out and if they had made a Justice League movie sooner.
I see Xena v Callisto I click. I watch. The best hero and villain combo in tv history. IMO.
When Xena said, “It’s not that simple. I won’t let it be”, she knew Callisto was right. She couldn’t let her have that moment.
"I don't feel better. . Just empty. ."
Damn 😥
I use too love Xena. I remember trying to make that noise she made when she was getting ready to fight. Loved the show
Lol I still do it randomly
I can do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can do it, is very easy.
It's called a Zaghrit, it's an Arabic custom. She's not doing it completely correctly, but it's still better than most people who try to emulate it.
Notice how Callisto screaming stops once she is crushed love this fight Xena is a badass here as always love how she chokes Callisto as well
Xena and Callisto's story was a very powerful story on vengeance and reaping what you sow. Xena's past actions created a monster in Callisto, that brought her pain and misery. Callisto thirst for vengeance robbed her of a life and left her with nothing. Moral of the stories: your actions can have longstanding consequences and revenge will destroy you in the process, it's better to forgive.
Xena is iconic . Love her very much.
Hudson Leick is absolutely gorgeous and brilliant as Callisto.
Maternal Instincts. One of my all time favorite episodes. The writing and acting is top notch! I miss this show sooo much. Nothing has ever topped it ❤
I own Xena seasons on discs and as I grew older to understand the characters, I truly empathized with Callisto, even though she is sadistic and a complete psychopath. She was once an innocent child who would have probably grew up to be compassionate and do good for people. Xena, killing Callisto’s parents and leaving her with absolutely nothing but a heart of hatred is the saddest thing ever for both Xena’s past and Callisto’s character. Back then it was easy to hate Callisto because of her erratic behavior and merciless kills, but if you really ponder on this, think about it, this woman is still that little girl who never got the chance to be gullible or embrace her innocence. She is incapable of loving because her only memory of love is it being taken from her by Xena. On top of that, she has to hear people glorify Xena even though Xena was just like her in the past. It’s so complicated, but now I understand that look in Xena’s face when she’s confronted with the choice of killing Callisto....it’s guilt and regret
Make a lot Tasha, thank for the breakdown
Xena did not kill Callistro's parents. Her orders were to spare the women and children. Her luietenant took it on himself to kill everyone in the village.
@@MsShoosh1 Xena's backstory did keep changing, though. Hercules was less dark of a show than Xena and that is how this spin-off started aswell. In season one Xena claimed that she has never killed women and children. I guess the producers thought that would have been too much. Yet later on we see Xena doing exactly that in episodes like Adventures In The Sin Trade. The character definitely became darker to show the contrast between her and Gabrielle. In Callisto's case, in episode "Callisto" Xena both claims that she has never killed women and children and later says that a fire broke out in Callisto's village and burned it down but that was never her intention. By season 2 in Necessary Evil Callisto demands Xena to admit her crimes publicly which she does by taking all the blame for ruining Callisto's life. And we never hear Xena argue against Callisto's narrative apart from episode Callisto.
Never watched the show much but just saw a Jo Blow video about the series and this Hudson chick was hot as balls!
You've had an easy life. You're pathetic...
Callisto should haved got her own tv series, she was a great character when it came to Xena and the princess warrior. The female who had played Callisto has done a fantastic job playing as her.
Callisto was played by Hudson Leick
I am so glad the Xena team did not continue with this show and kill it by running it into the ground. I will take the six seasons and they'll always be there. Nothing holds a candle to this show.
My favorite in the series also
Callisto was always a worth it and extraordinary opponent.👌👌👌
Susan lawless was assassinated.
Susan Lawless was assassinated, she did not die normally.
Hudson was the right person for the right character
I just love Lucy's eyes at 0:48 when she looks down for a split second as Callisto talks about her pain. Xena always holds and shows the pain and remorse for what she did to Callisto, and it never is forgotten throughout the series. Lucy and Hudson are honestly just fantastic here!
Every hero needs a great villain.
Mission Impossible 2.
I love how crazy she was. You definitely felt bad for her at times
I would love a Xena prequel TV series about her dark days ?
I wish they release a Blu-ray collection
@@Neko312 Have you checked Walmart they have the entire series.
Just watch the flashback episodes.
omg same! I love Warlord Xena! Her and Alti are the best villains on the show!
Why...? We saw her dark days in numerous flashbacks, and on a couple episodes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, where she was first introduced. We don't need a prequel show.
Callisto throwing that lightning around like she was Darth Sidious fighting a Jedi
I had a huge crush on Callisto, when I was 13. She was so bad, and so cool.
I only have 3 DVD seasons of this show, but I've been watching it since the 90s Lol Greatest childhood show for me!
This show has the best villains - Callisto and Alti especially. UA-cam appears to be missing her finest moment imo: the prison break scene.
Callisto and Xena are the best female enemies!
Noah Pierson agreed !
Yes, they were great. And this was WAY BEFORE Batman and Joker in "The Dark Knight".
Buffy and faith are up there too maybe even tied with xena and Callisto
@@fuzzyx2face and faith toute us darkness can be controlled
Calistos story was one of the saddest villain stories. And then the whole Xena gives up her light when they fight in hell was such an amazing development to their story line.
One of my favorite childhood shows in the 90s
My absolute favorite childhood show and overall show period.
@Cheryl Dawn Stevens mine too
Till today. We dont see fights like that nowadays
Fun fact as per google...The original script for this episode included Melinda Clarke's return as Velasca to haunt Gabrielle. Writers had Callisto killing Xena's brother (Toris), Hope killing Xena's son (Solan), and Velasca killing Hope to hurt Gabrielle. Melinda was unable to film at this time, causing writers to edit the script. With this being said Xena's older brother Toris from the episode "Death Mask" as well as Velasca, was supposed to return in this episode. 3 people were supposed to die in this episode.
Wow that's fascinating. I didn't even know that. That would have been a fatal blow for Xena to deal with. Losing Solan was enough, I think. Nothing worse than losing your child. Plus, Toris wasn't really that close to her like Lyceus was. And then I also wonder how they would've handled having two goddess baddies back.
One of the best tv villains ever.
Fact: Callisto is one of, if not THEE hottest women in TV history
She's so crazy
LucidLegend84 Crazy HOT!!!! Yummy sexy!
You clearly haven't watched Charlie's Angels...the original TV series.
I LOVE CALLISTO😍❤️🔥😍❤️🔥😍
Callisto is one of my girls.
I love callisto
They always had the best battles
I love that these clips are getting uploaded by the XWP page! Maternal Instincts was so powerful season 3 really pushed the show into exciting new territory.... this fight was so personal edge of seat stuff and it is unreal that.... over 20 years later it looks incredible and iam thinking how on earth did they put this entire sequence together all those practical effects/cgi etc amazing... incredible show.
I love the fights between Xena and Callisto they were the best and the way they just kept taunting each other. I miss Xena it was such a great show.
Yes me too Callisto was xenas best villain, Xena always got the best of her but it was still entertaining to watch without making Xena look weak
Batman/JOKER dynamic here
Damm i miss this show
No kidding.....and this was BEFORE The Dark Knight chemistry with Bale and Ledger.
Great scene from the Third Series of XWP! Xena kicking some serious Callisto ass! Love Xena!
I loved Calisto as a vilain, so full of hate/rage and I suposse underneath a sad little girl, i can excatly sympative with her, my childhood was horrible, but I never killed someone, its also about the choices you make.
But I loved hudson leick in this role
Callisto could have gotten her own spinoff show.
That would've been so cool
Love me some Callisto 😘
It's crazy that this 4 minutes of xena has more character development, humor and plot than the whole black widow movie. Not to mention it was probably made with less than a tenth of it's budget...
Plz more Callisto and Alti videos
My absolute favorite episodes of the series are when Xena and Callisto face off. They were both each other's polar opposite and for the most part equally matched but Callisto was more ruthless, but I liked that Callisto was who Xena was before the reformed
Maybe that's why this rivalry remains one of my favorites
One of my favourite scenes!!!
Mine too
One of my favorites too
Callisto was more of a threat to Xena when she was mortal. As the seasons went on, they totally made her seem easy to beat (with the exception of ides of March)
I agree, after Callisto became a goddess, trapping her in caves became something like a running gag.
Callisto simply became sloppier because she was arrogant believing as a Goddess she was in no real danger.
The real world explanation is that if the writers had Callisto fight competently she'd probably win so she had to be dumbed down to make her beatable in light of her being immortal and basically indestructible.
@@Gaelek13 Or they could have Hercules fight her more often than Xena, since he is strong enough to fight gods. Hercules even defeated Hera and Zeus, both of whom were far more powerful than Callisto.
I noticed this too. They had to make her fight less competently, as someone else said, or she would have been unbeatable. I hated this scene because it made no sense 1) Callisto doesn't hit Xena back one!? 2) Xena is willing to put all the children's lives in danger because she's mad at someone who can't be hurt.
Nepthu You also see Calisto not seriously wanting or caring to fight. She told Xena you already won the battle. So at this point she didn’t really care anymore.
My fav episode is with Xena,Callisto & Velasca!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 EPIC!!
I think Callisto and Xena liked to bully each other it seem to give them a thrill.
I agree I love their rivalry the way they fight with each other, Xena always outsmarts Callisto
You left out Callisto’s victory speech as Xena pelts her with arrows
Calisto my dream lady . She is gorgeous,beautifull and perfect .Love her
Just 2 FINE looking women 😍😍. Just LOVE them and that tv show back in the 90's
2:33 I love how xena could have escaped but made sure that Callisto didn’t get out first, risking her own life to stop her
seaaon 3 calisto got everything she ever wanted. it really was her season to shine
I was never ok with the fact that Xena is the 'hero' when all Callisto did was seek revenge for the acts of cruelty Xena commited.
@Spiritedfairieworld thank you! Its the pompous nature of 'I have moved on and live with my demons' vibe that I found irksome... how grand that you can move on...I would want Xena dead too. Haha
Xena was trying to change her ways from the dark side. Callisto relished in seeking revenge and destruction that it poisoned her heart.
Both had done wrong but one was on the right path trying to clean up their mess.
@@Trisof88 always so convenient when a war criminal gets to choose to change their ways and then judge their victims for seeking retribution. 😂🤷🏼♂️
Callisto was a good warrior herself but it was hatred that made her evil. Xena was the same till she found Gabrielle.
True, Gabriel changed xena but she was already on the path to redemption
Thanks for posting these videos. My Xena DVDs broke up and this the only way I can watch the best moments of this show!
This always confused me. She can literally teleport.
This is what I loved about the writing. Some of the plots were stupid but the feelings expressed were very real.
Love both of these ladies!!!!
This is the best female fight ever as well as the '90s and then some! 🗡️👱♀️🩷💕
As much as I loved Callisto and the show, I never understood why she just didn't teleport herself away? Hmmm
Same here....made no sense
@@sarahr2049 Exactly. It's why I hate this scene.
She became a Godess. She wasn't born one. I think that deep down she still had the instincts of a human despite her abilities.
I believe the writers of the show had made ambrosian gods have limitations and need time to fully understand and embrace their godhood. Callisto had just ate Ambrosia when Xena dropped her into the lava, so she didn't have time to do anything other than shoot lightning. Then she was brought back by child Hope for a few days and just then learned how to play around with teleportation and fire. But then again, she was so involved with her emotions and hatred she probably forgot she could do that.
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Xena: Warrior Princess, The X-Files, Playstation - - - 90s were fun
Xena's hatred was palpable in this scene. Understandably.
The stone pillars are bouncing way too much to be believable stone XD
That's the 90's technology for you. Even the lightning doesn't look that convincing. The acting, though, is golden.
All yall complain to much just watch the clip.
back when tv was worth watching
I’ll gladly die on this hill… this will always be the better show!!!! Callisto!!!!
Callisto is a major god right?
raymund usi yea
Sort of
Lmao this show always made me laugh when Xena screams
It's so iconic. From the outfit, to the chakram, to the war cry. It's just so good, so entertaining.
Callisto is definatly in love with Xena. Just come out of a closet Callisto, let people liiiiveeee
more like obsess
...what?
Xena literally murdered her family.
@@lilyofthevalley7573 dos not know that. My bad
This show and Hercules TLJ were well ahead of it's time. I loved Friday nights watching those shows in the 1990s.
I never watched it much but it here there was an episode where the Callisto and Xena traded places. The Callisto actress was Xena. I did like that. She made a very attractive Xena
That was a great episode. I remember that one too. Both of them pulled it off very well.
@@christophergreen4616 The actress that played Callisto made a very attractive Xena
I loves me some Callisto
Calisto is fabulous)
Callisto forgot she can teleport.
I was about to say that LOL
she wanted to fight her in an even battle
@@moetcp If she's a god, how can it be even.
That's why she chose hand to hand combat
@@moetcp Again, she's a god. One punch or kick and Xena die's.
oh man callisto my crush back in the day.
Lucy and Hudson are legends xx
I miss xena 😊
This blonde woman was something else. What a total babe
I'm telling my kids this was "Game Of Thrones"
TEAM CALLISTO!
This is a nice example that power means nothing wihtouth accuracy. Callisto lightening...
Walk away, best line ever
I was in my 20s at the time, and around the same age as Lawless and Leick. For some reason, I couldn't take my eyes of these two.
Lawless and Leick were in their 30s back then.
@@Bmhtsos18 They were not yet 30 when they were first together. Leick is only a few weeks older than me.
@@gedias1 I did the math again and you were right. My bad, I suck at math. 😜
@@Bmhtsos18 You could have been right. They both turned 30 while the series was still running.
@@gedias1 That's why I was confused.
🙌🏽 XENA WARRIOR👄🤾🏽♀️🔥🔥🔥🔥😎
If Callisto only applied her hatred into power, she would have defeated Xena here and become Empress of all Greece.
Why couldn’t Callisto just teleport out or blast her way out since she’s a goddess with powers?
Well you see ummm no one really knows lol I don't remember if it's like a magic cave or something
Because plotholes
I seriously think it has to do with the ability (perhaps density) of rock to contain a god's powers. I have believed that was canon since I was a child, but having watched the series as an adult, I don't believe I ever heard it explained in-universe. It did seem to track though, as rock was used so frequently to trap gods in the show (i.e. Velasca and Callisto in lava, Velasca under the boulders, the many times with Callisto, etc.). It appeared as though they had to use physical ability to escape rather than supernatural, like teleportation.
@@BobbyAllenRoach I think I remember Ares teleporting out of a cave or two at least, unless there was some argument over artificial gods who used ambrosia or something. I think it really just comes down to lazy writing. They couldn't have Xena chakram off some limbs and save the day since they would probably need to call on Callisto again one day. So just pin her under some rubble, no biggie. It's like it became a running gag in the show. Which is a shame, since mortal Callisto was so cold and calculated. Her immortality and later godhood kinda dulled her senses and ironically made her far less of a threat as the series went on.
