Amazons (1986)

Director: Alejandro Sessa

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!

The summary I found above makes this movie sound completely awesome.  While I enjoyed the movie, I wouldn't quite go that far.  There's a small story going on here, but nothing spectacular in the least.  Basically, this is an attempt to do Conan (As many of these movies from the 80s tried to do), complete with the chopped head of the baddie at the end of the movie.


If you're reading this blog, then you are probably similar to me in which you enjoy the campy fantasy movies of the 80s.  This one shouldn't disapoint.  This is no Deathstalker, but it serves.  There's a nice amount of nudity to be had.  While the fights are pretty dreadful, there's enough of them to keep your interest.


All in all, I'd say if you enjoy these movies for whatever reason, and haven't seen this one, it's worth checking out.  It's not the best, but not the worst.
