Synopsis:

Power-hungry Queen Gedren (Sandahl Bergman) captures the priestesses guarding the Talisman, a mystical orb that created and can destroy the world. But one of the priestesses escapes and seeks out her warrior sister, Red Sonja (Brigitte Nielsen), to warn her about Gedren's plan for world domination. Lord Kalidor (Arnold Schwarzenegger), the Talisman's keeper, insists on helping Sonja, and though she scorns the assistance of any man, she soon gains respect for Kalidor's fighting prowess.

Intentions:

This fanedit of Red Sonja serve as a continuation to Conan the Destroyer by changing Arnold's character Kalidor into Conan(since we won't be getting a third Conan movie from Arnold at this point this is the closest thing) and using editing to hide/negate and removing some of the bad line delivery and performance by lead actress Bridgette Nielsen as much as possible. The action and overall pacing has also been improved removing unnecessary scenes that linger for too long.

Change List:

- Movie now begins with the final scene at the throne room from Conan the Destroyer as Conan rejects Princess Jehnna's offer and walks away before the screen fades to black. Ennio Morricone's Red Sonja score is used as Conan walks away. - A new text crawl explaining Conan's journey and earning his lordship replacing the original text crawl but using the same font. This would explain why he's a high lord later in the movie. - Another text now appear showing the location of the burning village somewhere west of Hyrkania keeping in lore with the original character's origin and history. - The title card is now changed to Conan and Red Sonja. - The temple fight have been re-edited removing scenes where the actors and stunt people look like they're play fighting/clashing swords lightly and tightening up the pace of the scene. - Improved the effect of Gedren's henchmen disappearing with a silly jump cut after touching the green orb. Now the the screen flashes a bit before the henchman fades away quickly. - Shortened the overlong scene where Gedren and her army marches out of the temple. - Added Conan saying "Crom" as he carries Sonya's dying sister. - Shortened the first person perspective fight between Sonja and her sword trainer. - Arnold's character now introduce himself as Conan instead of Kalidor.

Brytag.... come down and open the gate" now Brytag is the first one to initiate the conversation as she approaches the castle. - When Sonja says the line "Supposed I open up that great fat belly of yours" it now cuts to the back view of her for a short time. - Removed Sonja's line to Brytag "Supposed i don't..." - Removed Sonja's reply "That takes no daring" - When Sonja said "...will your warriors let me go unharmed?" the scene now switch to a wide shot of Sonja talking taken from a scene that was cut earlier to negate her bad performance. - Removed Brytag's line to Sonja "I'm going to feed your eyes to the birds, red hair" and Sonja's reply "I don't need eyes to find you, i can smell you at a hundred paces" - Re-edited the fight scene between Sonja and Brytag so it flows better and faster removing some awkward choreography and down time. - Removed a scene where Sonja lift up her sword an prepare to charge towards the bandits to rescue Prince Tarn from behind the bushes, here she immediately charge towards the bandits to rescue the prince. - Removed the pointless scene of Gedren's long walk from the vault room all the way to the throne room. - Removed pointless scene of the wizard accidentally conjuring a naked dancer on the magic mirror. - Shortened Gedren's reaction after Ikol ask here if he should send out a small ambush party. - Shortened Sonja telling Prince Tarn to shut up. - Removed the scene where Sonja teaching Princess Tarn some manners on the skeleton bridge. - Shortened Sonja's to Prince Tarn reply from "You will?

(version 1.1 change) - All the silly jump cut effects effects of Queen Gedren teleporting around has been improved. - Shortened Sonja's reaction of getting cut on the thigh with magic by the wizard. - Shortened the scene of Sonja swinging her sword across the camera cutting off the wizard's head. - Shortened Prince Tarn's line "Kalidor, Falkon - this way!" to "Falkon... this way!" - added Conan saying "Crom" as he approach the room with the orb. - Shortened the scene of stone bricks falling down behind Arnold after he let go of the crumbling structure. - Arnold is now credited as Conan in the end credits.
