Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Yes, the rumor is true: Lead actress Maria Socas does indeed play her entire role topless. Rated: 2/4 Sep 25, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Even at a swift 77-minute runtime (including credits!), the film is too long for the stunted material. Rated: 4/10 Sep 8, 2020 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Carradine seems barely conscious most of the time, while everyone else onscreen overacts as though their lives depended on it. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Nov 7, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Jordan M Yes, it's a B movie, and yes, David Carradine's character is named "Kain" (and we're not going to talk about them using almost the same name he had in the "Kung-Fu" series as Kwai Chiang Caine?...OK), and yes, actress Maria Socas spends the entire movie topless, which is just fine with me. This is the kind of film we used to go to the drive-in to see, back in the day, and for that reason, it's actually rather fun and somewhat nostalgic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Gary O A chick has 4 boobs. What else do I need to say. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Draconic D Excellent movie! Reminds me a lot of Return of the Jedi and the Dark Sun campaign setting. I think a storybook version would be even better to experience. Lots of the potential to refine this movie into a storybook. The Return Of The Jedi was a better quality movie, but this is a better one in terms of maturity. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I shamelessly love schlock movies. When David Carradine has the starring role in a film, I know it's going to be schlock-fun. Carradine brings his classic overly slow fighting style to sword fighting. The "sorceress" of the title didn't do any magic at all. Come for David Carridine, stay for the exotic dancer in red. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A good sword fighting movie staring David Carradine. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member If you were expecting anything exciting, you will most likely be disappointed. The story is basically Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo filtered through a cliché fantasy setting. I should point out that for a movie entitled "The Warrior and the Sorceress", there's no magic at all. Not even the eponymous sorceress uses any magic, which is baffling because she's a sorceress. Wouldn't you expect a sorceress to use magic? Anyway, there's no character I could like at all, and that's because they're all mediocre. The acting is terrible, mainly because the actors don't seem very enthusiastic about being in this movie at all. The film looks okay, but it's nothing like what the poster would have you believe. The setting is rather blatantly similar to Yojimbo, and they did a terrible job at hiding it. The fight scenes are okay, but they're not spectacular or entertaining. The best fight scene in the entire film is the final fight at the end of the film, and even that could have been better. This is clearly a case of a film that sounded good on paper, but when I actually saw it, I thought it could have been much better. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
