What a film.
The Warrior And The Sorceress is a 1984, Argentine co-production, B-fantasy film, and an almost beat-by-beat clone of Yojimbo, with the protagonist even having a poncho and mannerisms exactly like Clint Eastwood in Yojimbo's clone, For A Fistful Of Dollars.
To quote Wikipedia, "The film is noted chiefly for containing extensive nudity and violence", but more accurately, 1984 titties and bloodless paper-mache swords.
Starring none other than David Carradine - the Kung Fu guy - in the exact same character as Kung Fu, but Clint-ized.
.. i mean .. it's great. It reminds me of the old Star Trek TOS episodes. The sets and costumes are horrible, there's a lizard puppet that requires more suspension of disbelief than a normal human can muster, and the fighting wouldn't look out of place in a late-stage Steven Seagal movie.
If you love trash film, this is a hit. Obviously the actors really believe in their lines and the fact that they try to deliver them with conviction is what makes this film shine, as if everyone is completely oblivious to how trashy the entire film is.
I can easily recommend this, it's entertaining, well paced, funny, and spiced with plenty of boobs. If the comical fights don't make you smile, you must be dead inside.
7.2/10 - you know .. it's Yojimbo.
