The sword-and-sorcery spectacle, Red Sonja (1985) showcases Brigitte Nielsen as the titular character, a warrior with a thirst for vengeance and a wardrobe that's more revealing than practical. While Red Sonja trains tirelessly to avenge her family's murder and save her kingdom (and maybe find actual armor), Lord Kalidor sweeps in with his trademark Austrian accent, ready to take on the villainous Queen Gedren.

Red Sonja - a film where the titular character is just a supporting act to the Austrian Oak that is Arnold Schwarzenegger. So grab your swords (and maybe some hairpins to tame that mane), and join us on this comically unbalanced adventure where even when it's supposed to be her moment, Arnie's just too much to overcome.
