So many movies ... so much to celebrate!!!
On this day in 1985 (in Canada and the U.S.), Red Sonja made her first appearance on the silver screen, and she was given the face of Brigitte Nielsen. Directed by Richard Fleischer, the Fantasy film also starred Arnold 'Screw Your Freedoms' Schwarzenegger, Sandahl Bergman, Paul L. Smith, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"The fearless warrior Red Sonja sets out to avenge her family's murder and rid her kingdom from the tyrannical rule of evil Queen Gedren."
For the record:
Some days, you have to take the good with the bad, and such is the film history of the kinda/sorta beloved character of Red Sonja. This particular incarnation, however, never quite fared well with critics or audiences. In fact, the 1986 Razzie Awards gave its lead the 'Worst New Star' honor at its annual ceremony. Ouch.
-- EZ
