In Alien, Aliens and Terminator II, the lesbian implications of female protagonism are narratively suppressed. I now want to look at a text in which the lesbian potential of the female warrior is manifest content. Red Sonja is different generically from the other films under discussion and its presentation is relatively 'camp'. It is self-consciously a sexual spectacle for a male audience.
