Power-hungry Queen Gedren captures the priestesses guarding the Talisman, a mystical orb that created and can destroy the world. Vengeful Red Sonja sets out to retrieve a magic orb from the evil queen whom she vows vengeance upon after the evil queen slain her family and her loyal warriors raped her.
It's a truly horrible concoction, filled with stiff, overly serious dialogue, wretched performances, bad lighting and a lazy score by the otherwise great Ennio Morricone.
Sure, there are a few funny moments here and there with several obviously intended jokes, but director Richard Fleischer never milks the elements of self-parody for what they're worth.
This is a sword-and-sorcery adventure for those who like their action fast and furious, their dialogue ropey and their acting filled with more ham than a butcher's shop.
Mr. Fleischer brings absolutely no playfulness to what might, at least, have been enjoyably light. And he brings out the worst in a cast that was ill-chosen to begin with.

Unwatchably bad sword-and-sorcery nonsense.

The title sounds as if this movie is about a communist spy, or maybe a new flower. No such luck.
