The Warrior and the Sorceress

The Warrior and the Sorceress is a 1984 Argentine-American fantasy action film directed by John C. Broderick and starring David Carradine, María Socas and Luke Askew. It was written by Broderick (story and screenplay) and William Stout (story). The Warrior and the Sorceress is a version of the classic Kurosawa film Yojimbo. The film is notorious for María Socas spending much of the movie topless, along with several other actresses in bit roles displaying varying degrees of nudity. It is also considered by some to be a cult classic. The Warrior and the Sorceress was the second entry in a series of ten films that Roger Corman produced in Argentina during the 1980s, the first one being Deathstalker. Synopsis In a distant galaxy lies the desert planet of Ura, which has two suns. There, two rival warlords of a village, Zeg and Bal Caz, constantly fight against each other in a battle over the only wellspring in the village of Yamatar. The mercenary Kain, who was once a member of a now extinct antient order of holy warriors known as the Homeraks, arrives at the town and announces that his skills are for hire to the highest bidder. Kain finds out that Naja, a beautiful sorceress and former priest of the same order as Kain, has been taken captive by Zeg, who pressures Naja into forging the magical Sword of Ura, which he wants to use to rule the land. Naja, who commanded Homeraks just as Kain when their order ruled the world, inspires him into saving her and help the village people. Kain starts to tangle the situation, taking advantage of the ongoing feud while seeking to debilitate the rival warlords and eventually defeat them.
