This film based on John Norman’s Gor novels features a great branding scene, one that plays up the drama and gives us plenty of close ups of the red hot branding iron, smoking and ready to do its work. Sarm (Oliver Reed) introduces Cabot to the “Ceremony of Possession” in which he will learn how to experience the delight of giving pain. He demonstrates by branding a particularly cute slave girl, who receives a smoking red hot brand to her leg. Then hands the iron to the reluctant Cabot, who is now forced to brand his friend Talena (played by Playboy Playmate Rebecca Ferratti). There’s a lot of suspense as he draws the iron close to her leg, but he attacks Sarm with it instead. Aw, bummer.
