Review

Manically muscle-bound identical twins Peter Paul and David Paul rip their way to B-movie legend status in the delightfully low-budget, high-impact sword-and-slaughter romp The Barbarians (1987). The brothers play a pair of orphans who are adopted by a tribe of traveling entertainers. The group's wealth and power emanates from a stone worn in the belly button of Queen Canary (Virginia Bryant). Naturally, diabolical warlord Kadar (Richard Lynch) wants the gem for himself, so he attacks the tribe with his mutant baddies (including Hills Have Eyes icon Michael Berryman), but a local hides the loot. Queen Canary gets locked up and the brothers are trained as gladiators, which ultimately works to their advantage. Years later, they team with a concubine to infiltrate Kadar's lair, slay the dragon that guards the stone, and free their queen. The medieval ladies of The Barbarians will have you pumping more than just iron!
