We're currently watching Red Sonja at Moonbase. A great Sword and Sorcery flick in the tradition of Conan. Arnie makes a few appearances for good measure but it's Brigitte Neilson's show. Seen it a few times and always good fun. I'm convinced the head priest is the Nazi who gets his face melted off in Ark of the Covenant!
Do you like Red Sonja?
That is indeed Ronald Lacey. Red Sonja the movie was okay (despite Arnie saying it was the worst film he ever made), but really needs a modern remake. There are loads of comics to draw from, both Marvel and Dynamite. At the moment there is a version stuck in development hell. It was supposed to star Hannah John-Kamen, but she's pulled out. (Didn't like the wig, perhaps. Or the chain-mail bikini). Of course the problem with a remake is that it would look incredibly sexist, so it will probably never happen.
