Was it me or was this pretty rape-heavy


Why not show the audience tons of boobs WITHOUT all the rape? That might be a little more comfortable. Def my least favorite barbarian movie... (but I haven't seen Gor yet).

modern films have virtually no rapes. the 80s were a more wild time and movies from that period are much more unpredictable and fun to watch then modern films. i for one thought all the rape scenes were interesting

It fit the setting. Barbarians attack women.

They’re barbarians, not feminists. Women were objects and playthings to them. Why are you shocked?

It’s like watching a film about the KKK and complaining it isn’t enjoyable because they’re racists.

Those barbarians couldn’t resist all those Playboy Playmates. 😄

Can anyone? 😄

Well, I can’t imagine the result being the same with a band of marauding accountants or financial advisers. Then again, that might make for an interesting installment of the Deathstalker franchise. Lol
