Product Description

From legendary producer Roger Corman (Bloody Mama) comes the box office hit of 1982, Sorceress. When an evil Wizard Traigon makes a pact with the dark forces to sacrifice his first born to his God Caligara to gain the highest degree of power, but things get complicated when his gives birth to twin. Having knowledge of her husband's plan she runs away and her two daughters grow up to be beautiful warriors played by playboy playmates Leigh and Lynette Harris. After the death of their mother and adopted families at the hands of Traigon and his army, the twins blessed with the forces of light and strength given to them by the magical warrior Krona, join forces with Baldar the Viking and Erlik the Barbarian to take down Traigon and avenge their mother's death. Standing in their way is all sorts of Traigon's minions, from an army of ape man to undead zombies which leads us to a climax in an all out battle between good and evil! New HD re-mastering of the previously never-before-seen longer version. Directed by legendary cult director Jack Hill (Foxy Brown, Switchblade Sisters), under pseudonym Brian Stuart.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The most horribly hilarious movie I own
    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2010

    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.

    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars When did humanity forget how to have a good time?

    Look... this movie is better than most movies coming out in the last two decades. Why? Because most movies now are bland, sterilized, soul less cash grabs that takes zero risks and doesn't know how to have a good time. This movie is "so bad" it's F*&(king amazing. It's cheesy, it's piratical affects, it's bad acting and dubbing but damn it all if it's not fun as hell. The dudes are jacked and hairy chested and the chicks are HOT AS ALL HELL and TOPLESS for large chunks of the movie. If for some reason you think you can't lower yourself into enjoying this movie then stop robbing your self of a great time, get over your self and enjoy this movie for what it is. It's amazing. Just watch it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A raunchy 80s fantasy movie featuring naked barbarian twins, a floating manticore God and the dumbest magical prophecy ever.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2016

    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.

    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。
