Barbarian Queen II: The Empress Strikes Back (1990)


Z-movie of almost no-budget level, with the late Lana Clarkson as the beautiful heir to a kingdom that is forced to fight against an evil usurper and his spoiled child. Echoes of Robin Hood in female form for most of the movie – even if the subtitle parodies the second Star Wars movies. If you are in this movie for Clarkson’s breast your are in for good surprises, as the actress shows her best asset several times – they are real, boys, no silicone in them! It is really a poor movie, with a modest plot, terrible acting, terrible stunts, cheap to say the least special effects, horrible fight scenes, but it is better than the first episode of this duology – in name only, as the two Barbarian Queen movies share only the lead actress and no other part.
