Gary V @GaryV 3d Great B movie. I’d rate it higher but 5 is as high as we get. See more Frans B @FransB Jan 10 Brilliant achievement at the time! B Grade undeniably, but great elements. Very good cinematography and visually appealing. Whole cast excels in character. Writing could have been a bit more meaty but as far this genre goes, it should be acceptable. Lots of action, drama, suspense, intrigue, old fashioned "special effects" and amazing makeup.

It was made in the 80's with a low budget but is still iconic in a cult film fashion. See more John C Apr 15 There's little good I can say about 'The Barbarians' - the script is bad. The sets look cheap. The villains are cliche and don't get me started about the acting. And yet I loved it. Some films try to be good and just - for one reason or another - can't manage it. Maybe they try too hard, or have a vision that outstretches the talent of the cast or film-makers. However, in this - pretty shameless - 'sword and sorcery' 'Conan' rip-off, everyone involved seems to know they're making a B-movie and they just roll with it. Instead of one barbarian protagonist (ala 'Conan') we get double for our money as identical twins play our two leads, separated from their peace-loving tribe by an evil army and forced to spend their lives training as gladiators until such day as they can escape and begin their journey of revenge. There's not a lot here that you haven't seen before in any similar type of movie from the eighties. The two leads are clearly hired for their bodies, over their acting talent and do the best with their limited emoting abilities and the below par script. While, on the other hand, you have the villains who chew up every piece of scenery they can with their over-the-top evilness. So it's no masterpiece, but despite its - many - flaws, you can't help but have as much fun as those on screen. If you're a fan of such silly films from the 80s, this one is worth a watch if you put your brain on hold for an hour and a half.
