Sandahl Bergman Movies

Statuesque, icily beautiful blonde actress Sandahl Bergman started out as a Broadway dancer. Bob Fosse cast Sandahl as Cassie in the original production of A Chorus Line, and later spotlighted her in the legendary "topless" number in the 1979 film All That Jazz. Thereafter, virtually all of the actress' film roles were of a mythological bent: Muse 1 in Xanadu (1980), Valeria in Conan the Barbarian (1985), Queen Gedren in Red Sonja (1985), the title character in the 1985 remake of She, and Valkyrie in the made-for-TV TekWar: TekJustice. Befitting her impressive physique and athletic prowess, Sandahl Bergman has been seen to best advantage whenever her self-defense skills are called upon, notably as Spangle in Hell Comes to Frogtown (1987). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

When you hear the happy jingle of the ice cream truck driving down your neighborhood street, lock your doors and pray to the Dairy Queen that the Ice Cream Man doesn't stop to bring you a cone -- because a soft-serve headache is nothing compared to the pain that this dairy demon will make you feel! As a child, Gregory Trudor (Clint Howard) suffered severe mental trauma when he witnessed the brutal murder of his best friend "The Ice Cream King." As an adult, all Gregory wanted was to take the place of the man he looked up to most, but the terror that haunts him drives a murderous bloodlust that can only be satiated by committing horrific acts of cold-blooded murder. The kids always used to come running when the familiar jingle of the Ice Cream Man's truck filled the neighborhood streets -- now they'll be running for their lives. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Exploitation king Fred Olen Ray was well entrenched in his "Erotic Thriller" phase (typified by films like Inner Sanctum) when he turned out this oddball mix of salacious schemes and demonic possession. When creatively blocked horror writer Howard (Ted Prior) buys an oversized jar containing a silly-looking pickled monster from a tiny shop in Chinatown, he quickly falls under the thing's supernatural influence. Not only can he churn out reams of manuscript pages like never before, he also becomes more sexually aggressive -- a change which troubles his reserved wife Peggy (statuesque Sandahl Bergman), particularly after the arrival of sexy blonde live-in secretary Carol (Shannon Tweed, whose presence had become ubiquitous in films of this kind). The plot thickens when we learn that Carol is also conspiring with her partner Murray (Frank Sivero), Howard's greedy agent, to steal his manuscript. Carol soon becomes the puppet of the thing in the jar as well, playing violent sexual games with the couple, terrorizing Peggy at every turn, and ultimately turning on Murray -- leading to a hyper-violent climax which has nearly every character blasting away at his/her co-conspirator with automatic weaponry. Despite the heftier financial backing of Columbia Home Video, this is still exploitation in the classic Ray tradition, filled with the usual bucketloads of nudity and kinky sex, and featuring cameos from such familiar B-movie faces as Ray Silva and Turhan Bey, as well as Kato Kaelin as a busboy in the restaurant scene with Bey. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

An aspiring reporter looking for a big story finds one big enough to kill her in this suspense thriller. Omy Clark (Ele Keats) wants a career as a television journalist, but while she has eagerly courted the favor of video reporter Flynn Dailey (Brian Wimmer), he's not eager to pass along any advice or to help her in any way. Hoping to dig up some dirt on Flynn as a way of getting his attention, Omy's friend Joule (Corey Feldman) lends her a "lipstick camera," a tiny video camera that can be hidden undetected in a room to monitor its activities. Omy is able to plant the camera in the home of Flynn's associate Lily (Sandahl Bergman); however, what the camera sees is far more shocking than Omy ever imagined, and soon a pair of former intelligence agents turned hit men are after her, wanting to make sure that the images she's recorded are seen by no one else. The supporting cast includes Terry O'Quinn and Charlotte Lewis. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This episode of The Firm Parts concentrates on toning the lower body through the use of standing leg exercises. Five separate segments, with five separate instructors, are each introduced by host Salina Bartunek. Exercises include lunges, leg presses, adductions, and squats. Equipment supported by this video includes dumbbells, ankle weights, and the Fanny Lifter. The workout is bookended on each side by periods of stretching exercises. The pace of this video is intense and the exercises, while certainly effective, may be too strenuous for beginners. However, those workout fiends in search of a challenge should step right up to Standing Legs. ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi

Prolific B-movie auteur Fred Olen Ray's sequel to Inner Sanctum is little more than softcore porn masquerading as an arty erotic thriller. Full of hallucination scenes, erotic nightmares, and other gimmicky devices (sometimes nested three deep), the film tells the story of nurse Jennifer Reed (Tracy Brooks Swope), who -- when she was still played by Tanya Roberts in the first movie -- killed her murderous husband after he attempted to do the same to her. Jennifer's brother-in-law Bill (Michael Nouri from Flashdance) and his wife (Sandahl Bergman) come to stay with her. When a series of hook-murders begins, the traumatized woman and her guests must determine who is drugging her and setting up the killings. None of it really matters, however, as the mystery is secondary to all of the sex and violence. There are numerous softcore couplings, as well as some pretty silly hallucinations (sex with a decaying corpse, Jennifer's graveyard dance with an undead Kato Kaelin), and even a catfight to keep the punters happy. Ray casts the film with the usual semi-names (Robert Quarry, Margaux Hemingway, David Warner, Joe Estevez) but can't muster enough MTV-style gloss on his budget to make it really work as an erotic thriller, nor enough true silliness to make it work as camp. It just sits there, as disposable as a paper plate and about as stimulating. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Softcore porn auteur Gregory Hippolyte directed this thriller featuring plenty of female nudity and starring Nick Cassavetes, son of famed indie director John Cassavetes. Beverly Hills shrink Dr. Jonathan Brooks (Cassavetes) seemingly has everything to lose: wealth, a successful practice, and a beautiful lawyer fiancée, Jennifer (Diana Barton). There's a serial killer on the loose in L.A., so Brooks is helping his cop friend Harry Reams (Richard Roundtree) compile a psychological profile of the murderer. Brooks is also treating an interesting new patient, Laura (Shannon Whirry), a shy hooker who transforms under hypnosis into a completely different woman, the seductive Lana. Brooks has a torrid affair with the irresistible Lana, but he's getting more than he bargained for. Lana steals the videotapes of her "sessions" with the good doctor and blackmails him with the damning evidence, destroying Brooks' life in the process. In the meantime, Harry closes in on a biker (Don Swayze) who might be the killer -- and the suspect has a connection to Lana. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The great nuclear holocaust has come and gone, and humanity is hanging on a string. Women rule what's left, and the world is filled with giant mutant humanoid frogs who have started their own communities. Fertile human males have become one of the rarest things on Earth. This really low-budget sci-fi adventure chronicles the exploits of one of those men, the wandering loner Sam Hell (as played by former wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper). The tale begins as Hell is caught and tried for raping a woman. Realizing that he is fertile, Medtech, the organization devoted to repopulating the world, takes him and forces him to wear high-tech underwear designed to control his lusty tendencies and to keep him from squandering his seed on infertile ladies. The organization then forces him to go deep into froggy territory to bring back the fertile women stolen by the amphibian's leader. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Bathroom humor, sight gags, and the prerequisite nudity are the lowlights of this forgettable film. The only interest is the appearance of former Playboy bunny Yuliis Ruval.

When David (Bruce Willis) reveals that he was once married, Maddie (Cybill Shepherd) is determined to get the whole story on his mysterious "ex". Maddie's determination leads to a bizarre side trip to the funeral of David's former brother in law. The episode's dream sequence, filmed in Glorious Technicolor and featuring Sandahl Bergman as a vision of David's ex-wife, was choreographed by the great Stanley Donen in a manner reminiscent of his earlier work in Singin' in the Rain--and if Cybill Shepherd looks uncomfortable in this scene, it is because she fought against appearing in the fantasy dance, arguing that she had no place in David's imaginings. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
