Arnold Schwarzenegger: Every Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

30. Red Sonja (1985)

The third and final appearance for Arnold Schwarzenegger in the sword-and-sorcery genre, Red Sonja was essentially marketed as a third Conan movie without the studio having to pay for the rights to the character. Instead billed as Kalidor, Arnie only signed on for a glorified cameo but found himself on set for four weeks, bumped up to the role of supporting player. A poor script, mediocre direction and some incredibly wooden acting make Red Sonja a chore to sit through, with the movie taking itself incredibly seriously despite some laughable dialogue. Schwarzenegger openly refers to it as the least favorite of his starring roles, and jokingly remarked that if his kids ever got on his bad side, they'd be forced to watch the movie ten times in a row.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
