Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
RavenGlamDVDCollector The star of this movie is a blond wig. Through the years, many mooks may have mistaken this blond wig as an attractive heroine. That could explain why the movie still exists, instead of being deservedly trampled under the wheels of the tractors and donkey carts the likely fans used to get their worthless asses over to the drive-ins of yore.This number here just ruined my entire afternoon, understandably I am in a dark mood.I encountered it on the "Dangerous Babes" box- set, and, well, cornered with it as I was, did some research before watching, however bad the reviews, I thought: kinda promising, could be something, well, I am here anyway, maybe it's gonna be cute, don't expect much, but HELL, hey, what I got here is a movie so miserable I freaking loathed it from beginning to end. I mean, I hate it HATE it, H A T E it, ugly people, ugly movie, utter trash.This is a movie that is so bad, every reel of it deserves to be set on fire. It's a filthy muck-reeking piece of garbage. And that's kind words compared to what I really wanna say on this family site.Avoid it like the plague.A pox on the compilers of "Dangerous Babes" for having included this junk, this awful tommyrot. :(
Leofwine_draca Despite the distinctive title, YELLOW HAIR AND THE FORTRESS OF GOLD turns out to be an absolute dog of a movie, and that's from somebody with a penchant for early '80s fare. This is some kind of shambolic comedy adventure in which a feisty heroine and her sidekick roam around a barren landscape, fighting off warriors and gunslingers in a hunt for mystical treasure.The plotting's okay, I suppose, but it's the execution where this film really fails: it's treated as a dumb-as-nails comedy, with awful dialogue that sounds like it's been dubbed in, and execrable performances. It says something when the statuesque but wooden Laurene Landon (HUNDRA) gives the best performance in a film otherwise chock full of actors gurning, hamming it up, performing tired slapstick routines, and the like.The running time is overlong and the exaggerated direction, with its repeated use of slow motion, soon wears on the viewer. If they had taken things seriously then this might have been halfway enjoyable, but the repeated (and repetitive) attempts at dumb humour absolutely sink it. Yeah, I hated it.
gridoon2018 In 1983, director Matt Cimber and gorgeous star Laurene Landon made one of the better low-budget female-driven action flicks of the 1980s, "Hundra". The following year, the same team tried again to do much of the same, but lightning did not strike twice. "Yellow Hair" has an imaginative start (kids sitting down in a theater to watch the movie we're about to watch, hollering and commenting on the credits), a promising introduction for the title character (beating a male Indian with some of the wrestling moves Landon learned from "All The Marbles", including a fantastic dropkick!), a likable male sidekick for Yellow Hair, and some great stunts. But the film drags at times, with scenes going on longer than they should (a prime example is Kid shooting snakes for about 5 minutes), and the aforementioned fight scene with Yellow Hair is her ONLY fight scene in the entire movie, aside from a punch and a kick here and there. That's why "Hundra" was better - it gave Landon more opportunities to fight. **1/2 out of 4.
Chris Haskell There are some reviews on this site that give Yellow Hair one star. That's uncalled for as this is not a bad movie. It's no Seven Samurai, but let's be honest with our expectations on a movie called 'Yellow Hair and the Fortress of Gold'. This movie doesn't deliver Oscars, but it does deliver a funny script with plenty of gun-play and Spaghetti Western caricatures of good and bad guys (or gals!). It promotes itself as a 'Lost Ark' style adventure movie, and that is more than a little misleading, as this could have just as easily been a Corbucci or Tessari film. I would let that go, however, and just enjoy a goofy throwback with a high entertainment value. Rating: 26/40
