Leofwine_draca THE WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS is a rubbishy little sword and sorcery movie released in the wake of CONAN THE BARBARIAN. From the first scene you can see it looks cheap and amateurish and quite depressing to watch. It was shot in some rocky Argentinian locations and of a no-name cast the only familiar face is David Carradine, miscast as the sword-fielding hero. He gets involved in a plot "borrowed" from YOJIMBO but everything is drawn out in the extreme and there's very little action either; CONAN this ain't. The director's emphasis is on including as much topless female nudity as possible but that's no way to sustain a film, although there's one memorable gag involving a four-breasted woman which brought to mind TOTAL RECALL.

teuthis-2 David Carradine can be entertaining if he has any chance at all, and this film provides him with the opportunity. He plays the disillusioned, violent, seemingly corrupt "Dark Warrior" to the hilt.Maria Socas plays the entire film nearly naked. This has surely limited its "exposure" to the general media, including of course television. However, her natural state enhances the visual imagery of the film and she seems almost sacred in her devotion to her office of priestess. What a state we are in, when we so readily accept tremendous, gory violence in film, yet eschew nudity as something taboo and dirty.This is, of course, a "cheapie B movie", but it isn't so badly done. I find it compelling, entertaining escapism. Its a good "guy" film, so just lean back and imagine.

Mishi This is an excellent bizarre movie. Carradine has to rescue the sorceress (beautiful Maria Socas). Don't miss this film.

Roland-22 This movie has all the classic elements of a standard fantasy movie - a few good ideas and loads of bad execution. Notable for the appearance of David Carradine who plays just about the most unsympathetic character I've seen him play. Check out the exotic dancer scene, good for a few laughs. The extras were obviously new to acting, since they could hardly have done a worse job. Nevertheless, the script has a decent plot to it.
