646f9e108c An epic from the dark ages about the legendary lost tribe of warrior women! The girls fly into danger, come up against fierce tribes, fall prey to sorcery, put to rest a family rivalry of centuries past and battle to victory! This is a definite &quot;so bad it&#39;s good&quot; movie.The acting is nothing short of atrocious,the fight scenes are incredibly clumsy,the dialogue about equal to an Ed Wood movie and the facial expressions are priceless!That coupled with loads of pointless nude scenes featuring the super hot Xena-type warriors in the lead roles makes for a totally hilarious movie. A king turned evil sorcerer from the dark ages is conquering civilizations and he has his eyes set on the Emerald land next. The home of the infamous &#39;Amazon&quot; female warriors. To stop this from happening, two Amazons Dyala and Tashi head out on a dangerous quest to retrieve the powerful &quot;Sword of Azundati&quot;, which is the only weapon that could put a stop to this tyrant. But could a history between the two Amazon warriors&#39; families hinder the important journey.<br/><br/>I wasn&#39;t expecting a miracle from this chunky and bottom-of-the-barrel schlock of sword &#39;n&#39; sorcery that was inspired by the commercial success of &quot;Conan the Barbarian&quot;. Although I didn&#39;t think this Roger Corman produced, obtuse turkey was going to be &quot;this&quot; boring. How boring? Hugely dull and unexciting. And how&#39;s that? As you can&#39;t go wrong with a stunning lot of fur bikini clad Amazon women. Well, you would like to think so. T &amp; A features constantly, and they like baring their breasts in regular intervals. Too bad about the rest of the feature and the great cover art on the video case disguises and promises more than it actually delivers.<br/><br/>Everything else is pretty bland and pedestrian. Vividly magical and unique this fantasy world is not. From the flaccidly lacklustre fight sequences to its sloth-like pacing, which feels like its always-trapped in slow motion. This is caused by many irrelevant stoppages (naturally getting sidetracked) in the quest that makes the 87 minutes running time come across like an eternity. I&#39;m just so glad there was eye candy on show. The acting by all is plain stiff and strangely well-mannered (!). Mindi Millar, Penelope Reed (who&#39;s character gets knocked out cold and caught in trouble a lot) and a titillatingly feisty Danitza Kingsley are scratchy, but do look fine nonetheless. Joseph Whipp takes the cake in the woodenly droll evil sorcerer who shoots thunderbolts from his fingers. Truly malevolent hell no! The special effects arecheap and clumsycan be (look at the transformation scene). While, the cheapjack cardboard sets don&#39;t add up much too primitive reality, but in all, these trusty elements were expected and were its charm.<br/><br/>The drolly soft-centred story is the traditional set-up, and easyit comes. Some oddly resourceful and quick marks shape its way into the jumbled material. The shabby script that suffocates the feature just doesn&#39;t matter here,thinking about what they say will hurt your head. And who came up with these horrendously obscure names?! Oh right, you don&#39;t want your head to explode. Filmed in Argentina and directed by Alejandro Sessa. Nothing makes a huge dent, but there was one okay atmospheric piece, that went crazy with the lighting to go all spooky. Unfocusedly murky photography and being lampooned by a chaotically corn-riddled music score reminded me what I was watching.<br/><br/>This fantasy sub-genre has its share of crap and &quot;Amazons&quot; deserves to stand along those titles. There are too little unintentional laughs that you would expect from this type of inept film-making. I wanted to enjoy this gloriously incompetence, but it had me yawning for most part.
