I remember seeing this one on TV a few times as a kid back in the early 90s. I think the last time I saw it was probably around then too, played back to back with Conan the Barbarian and Master of the Universe. So now about 20 or so years later, I rewatch it and I could still recall each notable scene: the part where Sonja meets the little prince, the "sword-practicing" scene between Kalidor and Sonja, the final battle scene with Gedren, and so on. I miss fantasy action films like these days. It's so rare to see one shot in this style today. Another thing I liked about this is it had a focus on love and romance. Sonja is a strong and beautiful woman and warrior. I never had any problems with it as a child; I mean I never minded female leads in films. I was only a child, and only viewed it and admired it for what it is. I always liked watch sword fights and martial arts, and the characters in this one kicked butt. I wonder why they never made a sequel or a series out of Sonja, perhaps even a crossover with She-Ra!
I like the genre, is similar to Conan, but less than Conan the Destroyer.
Konan is much better :) 7 for this

Lots of bad acting by Bridgette Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger and the very annoying little Prince Tarn make this a tough movie to watch. The sets are interesting and the costumes are well done but the story is slight and the action scenes are nearly action less. This feels like a cheap "Conan" movie series rip-off and that's because it is.
