Red Sonja
—
Worst movie from 1985 that I’ve watched? Red Sonja is definitely right up there. This is a terrible movie that has not aged well — although to be honest, I don’t think I really liked it that much even back then. The biggest thing for me was that I always found it so weird that Schwarzenegger…
