History YMMV / BarbarianQueen

* CultClassic: The film has a following, for several reasons, although probably the biggest one is its infamous torture rack scene, which remains popular to this day among BDSM enthusiasts. And given how much of the sequel’s run time is spent on the buxom blond heroine bare-breasted on the rack (perhaps 10% of the film’s run time), you wouldn’t be wrong in thinking the entire reason they even made a sequel was to capitalize on the popularity of the original’s rack scenes.

** ''The Empress Strikes Back'': [[HeManWomanHater Hofrax]] is [[BigBad King Arkanis]]'s misogynistic [[TheDragon right-hand man]]. Assisting his master in keeping an iron grip over the land, Hofrax allows his men to harm the villagers as they please. In charge of Arkanis's slave trade, Hofrax has many farmers [[HumanTrafficking captured and sold off]] across the land. After getting captured and humiliated by Princess Athalia, Hofrax masterminds a plan to lure her by [[PublicExecution executing innocent peasants in the town square]]. Once she's in his grasp, he humiliates her by binding her to a torture rack and stripping her clothes off. He then proceeds to stretch her naked body on the rack, slowly torturing her to death. He cackles sadistically at her cries of agony, promising her that she will die slowly and painfully, but not before her rebel army is completely destroyed by his hand. Athalia, consumed by agony and utterly helpless at the villain’s hands, gasps that someday someone will come and avenge her.

* FetishFuel: Between the harem girls, the well-oiled male gladiators, the warrior women, the bondage and the torture, it may be faster to list what fetishes aren't indulged at some point over the course of the film.
