Sorceress

So - as an adult now, this movie is absolute horrible. I mean - the dialog is crap. The acting is terrible. The special effects, acting, plot, locations, costumes... There is absolutely nothing to like about this film in modern days...But... Take me back to being a 10 year old in 1984, and I would have loved it. I would have loved it for the above, and because that was the age where terrible fantasy and post-apocalyptic films were made on shoe-string budgets. Plus - there are so many boobs in this film.. Glorious boobs!

At first the film was kind of hillarious. It seemed like a joke.Some nerd in red pajamas has his squad trash some lady with a hot topic gardening tool so she can't have anymore kids apparently. Then beardy kung-fu dude beats some guys up, and the red pj guy gets smoked, but has three lives, so that's probably not good.Fast forward a few minutes...The twins finally show up awkwardly swimming naked together and punch a goat dude with a boner, because they thought it was a weapon, and they didn't want to get "rammed," if you know what I mean?Some other nerds attack the adopted twins parents, and the dad beats a dude with ye olde nunchuks (No, I'm serious, he does), before getting lit up by arrows.The girls show up and turn blue or something....and I'm sorry folks...this movie is just trash....I had to stop.

A raunchy 80s fantasy movie featuring naked twin barbarian women, a floating manticore God and the dumbest magical prophecy ever. This ranks pretty low even if you enjoy bad 80s R-rated fantasy. There's nudity, raunchiness, dumb dialogue, one scene with a neat monster, stupid magic spells and a satyr peeping Tom. If that sentence doesn't make you want to see this, then you don't want to see this.This movie is so bad that even IMDB totally phoned in the synopsis, which reads as follows: "Sword and sorcery story of the cosmic struggle between white magic and black magic." I'm pretty sure this just described every movie featuring magic ever made. Thanks for the clarification, IMDB. <<Drops the mic and walks away>>The story is shaky at best--but this should come as no surprise from a campy 80s genre best known for even having its strong lead female protagonists get naked (e.g., Barbarian Queen). Some evil wizard needs to sacrifice some woman's first born child to summon some sort of monstrous demon thing. There's just one problem, the woman had twins and the evill wizard needs to know which twin was first. With me so far…sort of? Good.Like a fairy godfather, Krona (Martin LaSalle) the good wizard bestows unto these twin girls the powers of sword and sorcery. It's about as easy as Neo uploading kung fu in The Matrix (1999), but without the HDMI ports in the back of the head. The twins, Mira (Leigh Harris) and Mara (Lynette Harris), are so clueless into their early 20s that they don't realize there is a difference between boys and girls and, as such, don't think to hide their lady parts from the opposite sex. They don't even understand what sex is. This is really convenient for this kind of semi-smutty movie and the campiness that ensues is barely tolerable.The action is laughable in an awesomely bad way. A guy catches a spear and throws it back, Mara catches an arrow bare-handed, and all combat seems to be a fumbling tumble of silliness. Unfortunately the action falls short in all ways compared to even other bad 80s sword and sorcery films--leaving this movie very low among their ranks for overall entertainment value.The manifestations of magic are a tribute to low budget early 80s fantasy. That is to say, they look awful! LMAO. Don't worry, you should enjoy it.Written by Jim Wynorski (Chopping Mall, Deathstalker II, The Haunting of Morella--don't be fooled, these three movies are much better than Sorceress) and directed by grindhouse champion Jack Hill (under the pseudonym Brian Stuart; Coffy, Foxy Brown, Switchblade Sisters), this exploitation fantasy filth leaves no raunchy stone unturned--seizing every opportunity for breasty sophomoric thrills. A woman's panties must be revealed (on-screen) before disemboweling her (off-screen), breast-feeding prefaced with commentary of "how full" her breasts are, our naked twin heroines skinny dipping in a river who naively try to figure out what "that thing hanging between his legs" is before kicking their voyeur's butt, there's a threat of death by anal impalement, and Mara learns what it means to be a woman…yeah, it's all pretty classy over here.The evil wizard Traigon (Roberto Ballesteros) evidently has three lives and self-resurrects at a predestined location if killed (kind of like FPS games), his scantily clad ally (Ana De Sade; Caveman) has a servant in an evil gorilla suit, an awkward satyr incessantly "baahs", the town bazaar boasts what seems to be an outdoor strip club, there's a gorilla assault, and for the finale there's an undead army.In the end, simply uttering a magic word dispels some enchantments and summons a pretty spiffy looking good manticore God (basically a giant floating lion with bat wings) which snarls and spews lightning at this disembodied head of an ugly disfigured evil woman god. This is accompanied by a large scale melee of sword fighting that is yawnably awful. Just pure crap.The sword and sorcery genre peppered bad movies throughout the 80s, but this is easily one of the least pleasurable installments even for lovers of campy, dumb movies. This isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy it at all. But I'll probably never watch it again and prefer pretty much all other such films of the decade above this one.

I once read a review of "Sorceress" that described the experience of watching it as "having a tent spike pounded through your soul." I have to say that's pretty accurate. I've loved this movie for 20 years and have worn out two VHS copies of it, showing it to friends as my example of the worst sword and sorcery movie ever made. From Pando the masturbating Goat Boy, one of the most appalling characters ever brought to the large screen, to the two enormous-breasted twin heroines who have implausibly been brought up to believe they're boys ("Women? What are...women?") to the inexplicably perm-ringleted barbarian Erlich, who looks like a refugee from a guest spot on Mork and Mindy... Not to mention the complete, 100% lack of a titular "sorceress" anywhere in the film... All these things combine to make Sorceress a joy to watch for those of us who live for Bad Movie Night. It's utterly tears-in-your-eyes hilarious. But if you're looking for a genuinely good S&S fantasy film, for god sake go buy Ladyhawke instead.

82年に作られたプレイメイト出身のリー・ハリス、リネット・ハリス姉妹出演のファンタジー映画だから当然ハダカ有り。80年代低予算映画でもリマスターしているのか画質が良く、それなりに風格みたいなのが漂っている。着ぐるみゴリラみたいなチープなモンスターは出てくるがそれはそれ。日本語字幕は無し。英語字幕も入ってないので難度は高めか。コーマンはじめ当時のスタッフのインタビューが特典映像で入っているので欲しいところ。チャプターメニューは無いがちゃんとチャプターは切ってあります。

I like everything about this movie. The contradictory comments made by people in the commentary about who is responsible for the zombies going after the girls gag is interesting.

Fantastic film don't won't to say to much that's all ready bean said but thanks to the kind reviewer that stated this would play on a UK blue ray player or a UK ps3 in my case so to any one about late 30s in the UK it works means a lot as this is so hard to get now love it my be old but its as good as lord of the rings ore more resent the very good hobbit films one thing it douse have is no rubbish cgi

thank you for the film it is very good i like it a lot ,thank you from david

ロジャー・コーマンのニューワールドピクチャーズ１９８２年のヒロイックファンタジー。この時代流行の魔法と剣のファンタジー映画。なんだかすごそうなジャケットに惹かれて購入しましたが大したもんではありませんでした。しかし得意のエログロ、ゾンビ群も登場するサービス精神など、雑多な見どころ満載で元は取れました。ラストは大魔術合戦といいたいところだけれど、予算の関係でしょぼいＳＦＸでを見せられますがが、それなりに味わい深いものでした。東宝の「緯度0大作戦」に登場したグリフォンのような怪獣が突如天空に現れ善玉の双子の女剣士をバックアップする。対して黒魔術師が天空に送ったのは、自分の妻を炎の中へ突き落とし悪魔の生贄にしたかと思うと次の瞬間天空に巨大なお岩さんの顔のようなものが現れ、目から怪光線を放つという、なんともばかばかしくも奇天烈なビジュアルイメージの強烈さが印象に残りました。
