'The Throne of Fire' is a 1983 Italian film directed by Franco Prosperi. The film is among the 'peplums' of the 1980s to feature a woman as the central character, along with 'Red Sonja', 'Hundra' and 'Barbarian Queen'.
Production
Parts of 'Throne of Fire' were shot at Bracciano in Rome with interiors shot at De Paolis Studios and Elios studios in Rome.
The film reuses the village raid sequence from the 1982 film 'Barbarian Master'.
Release
'The Throne of Fire' was released on 17 June 1983 in Italy and on 5 June 1986 in the United States.
Reception
In his overview of 1980s action films, Daniel R. Budnik described the film as a "'Conan' rip-off from Italy" that was closer to "peplum from the late 1950s" and had a similar "meandering feel" that the films of that era had.
