While there are touches of inspired intimidation, one has to endure a lot of random writing and lack of enthusiasm to find anything that works in this messy endeavor. Go to Full Review

Yes, the rumor is true: Lead actress Maria Socas does indeed play nearly her entire role topless. Go to Full Review

Even at a swift 77-minute runtime (including credits!), the film is too long for the stunted material. Go to Full Review

Carradine seems barely conscious most of the time, while everyone else onscreen overacts as though their lives depended on it. Go to Full Review

Eric G @Eric_Griffin May 16, 2025 The absolute worst acting and character design I have ever seen, EVER. I can't believe this train wreck ever got funding, it's like it was made by a High School drama class. See more nick s @Nick_S Dec 15, 2024 Crumby dialogue, average acting and unimaginative plot. It was a really good effort by a director that never learnt the art of movie making. I suspect the obvious eye candy has helped garner a few fans over the years.

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. See more Mar 1, 2015 A good sword fighting movie staring David Carradine. See more Aug 20, 2014 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. See more Read all reviews
