Red Sonja, directed by Richard Fleischer, stars a very young Brigitte Nielsen alongside the muscular Arnold Schwarzenegger. A Hollywood production, the film was shot entirely in Italy, in Abruzzo and upper Lazio. Locations included Gran Sasso and Campo Imperatore plateau as the epic setting for Yado's ride in the opening credits. The Scoppaturo canyon is also featured.
Fearless Sonjia is transformed into an invincible warrior in Alba Fucens. The ancient Roman colony in the Marsican territory of Massa d'Albe is also where Yado tells Sonja of her sister’s imminent death. The beech forest of Soriano nel Cimino, in Tuscia (Lazio), provides the setting for the duel between Yado and Sonja.
The interiors were built at Stabilimenti Cinematografici Pontini (Rome).
