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."
