[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 7525937, member: 92305"] [b]More Red Sonja and Sorcery[/b] A few more random notes... Sometimes, it is unclear whether the gods are real in the Hyborian Age. In [b]Black Colossus[/b], Conan speaks with a god, but it can be debated if that were really a god. At the beginning of [b]Red Sonja[/b], the red haired warrior woman is given the power of the sword from a god-like being. She takes an oath that she will lay with no man who cannot best her in combat. And, since her skill with the sword is un-worldly, no man can. It it assumed that it is a goddess who gives Sonja this power. But, again, it can be debated. I don't remember if it is ever made clear in the film, but the idea of Red Sonja's power being bestowed upon her from a god is also in the comics. During the climax fight with Queen Gedren, there is a lacky sorcerer off to the side who aids his Queen. He's in front of a long, flat table. As he throws flash powder at the table, Gedren teleports around the room during the fight. As Sonja attempts to strike, the sorcerer will pop Gedren from one place to another. Again, the sorcerer will throw sand or some type of powder on the slab in front of him. This time it is not flash powder. The sorcerer pulls a knife and scrapes a line through the powder in front of him. A slice appears on Sonja. In this way, the spell provides a means to attack Sonja from a distance. Sonja uses acrobatics during her fights. She uses the Use The Battlefield Combat Maneuver. And, at the climax fight, you can see her use the Sunder Combat Maneuver several times until she breaks Gedren's sword. As in the game, not all swords break on the first attempt. In the movie, Sonja tries somewhere around four times or so. [/QUOTE]
