May I know whose opinion this "Overall Rating" is based on. Thanks. --BorgQueen 10:55, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The only section I added was the criticism section, and the source is listed in that section. The disparity between the movie's entry (which to my knowledge is the only verifiable source in this article) and this article strongly suggests a fanboy component at work. --L. 00:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The poster seems to show a film called "Kalidor" - was it released under that name in some places (sems to be in French) ?
Shouldn't we try to find an illustration under the Red Sonja name ?

message: My understanding is that Roy Thomas created Red Sonja for the comics while Red Sonya was the inspiration.  Sonya was a Robert E. Howard character but was not set in the same time/location as Conan.  Because the studio bought the rights to Red Sonja from Marvel, they could not reach an agreement with the owners of the Conan license so they renamed the character.  Can anyone find any details on this?  I vaguely remember reading about this in a comics trade magazine or something back in the 80's.  Maybe the CBG?  Vaginsh 10:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I saw this movie the other day and there's no mention of Marvel Comics or Roy Thomas in either the closing or opening credits. It says its based on the character created by Robert E. Howard in the opening credits.screenshot The imdb listing also doesn't mention Marvel or Thomas at all. Tehw1k1 (talk) 01:37, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

message: So just because evil woman is lesbian that means this movie is homophobic... Gay people can't be evil, they are saints.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.171.215.150 (talk) 01:03, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that the claim was based on an editor's interpretation of an entry in the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction seen here.  I've rephrased the text in the reception section accordingly and removed the corresponding statement from the lede.  Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 21:46, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just seen that entry. I think it is reasonable to interpret it as saying that the film portrays homosexuality as evil, but I won't restore that detail without consensus. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 07:53, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: To anyone who has seen both films, it's rather obvious that Red Sonja is one of several films influenced by Heavy Metal (Repo Man and The Fifth Element are a couple of others). The glowing green orb that needs to be destroyed in Red Sonja, and which destroys any man who touches it, is just another version of the Lok-Nar in Heavy Metal, which has a nasty tendency to disintegrate people. I don't object very strongly to the link being removed, however. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 21:06, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick search engine test does not show that much of a relationship between the two. I'm okay with removing it. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:20, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Somewhat surprising that it took this long to actually do so.  There's nothing whatsoever unique or derivative in a SF&F film with an Evil Dangerous Magical Dingus Which Needs To Be Destroyed, and there are only so many colors in the spectrum.  No doubt there would be claims that it was "obvious" that the film was influenced by Lord Of The Rings had said Evil Dingus been a piece of jewelry.   Ravenswing   06:00, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
