The Warrior and the Sorceress<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]On the M-Square Classics<\/strong> label, UCM.ONE<\/strong> released the film \u201cThe Warrior and the Sorceress<\/strong>\u201d (German: \u201cDer Krieger und die Hexe<\/strong>\u201c) in a limited media book for the first time in Germany in the uncut US version, which is over four minutes longer than the old German VHS version. Non-synchronized scenes were subtitled in German. The film was co-produced by Oscar-winning director and film producer Roger Corman<\/strong> (\u201cFrankenstein\u2019s Death Rac<\/strong>e\u201d, \u201cThe Fist of the Rebels<\/strong>\u201c). The storyline is clearly inspired by films such as Sergio Leone<\/strong>\u2018s \u201cFor a Few Dollars More<\/strong>\u201d (Italy, Spain 1964) and Akira Kurosawa<\/strong>\u2018s \u201cYojimbo<\/strong>\u201d (Japan 1961), but has been moved to a fictional planet.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The leading role was played by David Carradine<\/strong>, who became famous for the US western martial arts series “Kung Fu<\/strong>” (1972-1975) and the films “North and South<\/strong>” (1985) or Quentin Tarantino<\/strong>‘s “Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2<\/strong>” and who first collaborated with Roger Corman<\/strong> in 1975 for his brutal future satire “Frankenstein’s Death Race<\/strong>“.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”38132″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”38130″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

He decides to free Naja in order to gain possession of the magical sword of Yura, which only Naja can summon and which is said to give its owner infinite power.

\u00dcber Regisseur John C. Broderick:<\/h3>\n

John C. Broderick,<\/strong>\u00a0who directed only the three films “Georgia Road<\/strong>” (1977), “The Warrior and the Sorceress<\/strong>” (1984) and “A Bed Full of Foreigners<\/strong>” (1998), began his entertainment career as an actor at his San Francisco high school. Between 1974 and 1998 he worked mainly as a film producer, but there is hardly a film worth mentioning ib\u00b4n his tenure. A\u00a0 highlight of his career was an Oscar<\/strong> nomination for his editing work on “The Exorzist<\/strong>” in 1973. At the early age of 58 he died of a kidney disease he had been suffering of for many years.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”38041″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Aries Cinematogr\u00e1fica Argentina:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Director and producer H\u00e9ctor Olivera<\/strong> founded Aries Cinematogr\u00e1fica Argentinia<\/strong> in 1956. The studio was particularly active in the 1970s and 1980s and made a number of important contributions to Argentine film culture, such as Adolfo Aristarain<\/strong>\u2018s “Time for Revenge<\/strong>” (1981) and Hector Olivera<\/strong>‘s “La Note de los L\u00e1pices<\/strong>“, which is considered one of the director’s best films. At the beginning of the 1990s Aries had more and more economic problems. A restructuring in the management enabled the studio to continue producing, but the company went bankrupt in 2014.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”38134″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”38153″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

About Roger Coman:<\/h3>\n

Roger William Corman\u00a0<\/strong>was born on 5 April 1926 in Detroit, Michigan. After his studies at Stanford University and his service in the navy Corman ventured briefly into the film world as a messenger for the production company 20th Century Fox<\/strong>. He then studied English literature at Oxford, but soon returned to Hollywood, where he began working as a literary agent. In 1953 he produced his first movie \u201cHighway Dragnet<\/strong>\u201c. Two years later he made his debut as a director with two western films.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In the following years Corman mainly worked as a director for the film production company AIP <\/strong>of Z. Arkoff<\/strong> and James H. Nicholson<\/strong>. He has made films in various genres such as western, gangster and horror\u00a0 as well as science fiction films for young audiences. In addition, he developed new genres such as rocker and rock\u2019n\u2019roll films, which appealed to young people with their rebellious themes. With his rocker film \u201cThe Wild Angels\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0from 1966 Corman already anticipated the legendary \u201cEasy Rider<\/strong>\u201d (1969) by Dennis Hopper.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”38027″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1561286315715{margin-top: 15px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}”]
