Reception

Critical response

Paul Freitag-Fey of the Daily Grindhouse wrote in his review: "In other words, Serpent Warriors is exactly the mess of a movie that you’d expect from a film created by three different sources each with their own plot and characters." He could not figure out how Eartha Kitt was cast in the film as "it’s a bit puzzling that her film career was so… varied."[5]
