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.

Roar (TV-1997)




Created by:  Shaun Cassidy and Ron Koslow

Conor is the orphaned heir of one of the many tribal leaders of hopelessly divided Hibernia (ancient Ireland). With his faithful but unenthusiastic servant and protector Fergus he wanders trough the island, fighting injustice and aspiring to unite the druidic, yet internecine Celts in order to free the country from Roman rule. Most dangers and opponents he faces are largely or completely mythical, the most remarkable being Longinus, the eternally cursed but immortal, cruel and vindictive Roman centurion at Christ's crucifixion who forges evil alliances.


Roar was a tv series from 1997 starring a relatively unknown Heath Ledger.  The obvious comparisons to Braveheart abound here.  I would say take Braveheart, add in some Robin Hood, with a dash of Hercules, the Legendary Journeys.  I enjoyed the series while it lasted.  It took a pretty serious tone and was not campy.  I would have liked to see the series continue beyond it's 13 episodes.

While this is a historical show, there was a very slight amount of magic involved, therefore this is definitely fantasy.  The action was good for its time, and the show kept a nice pace.
I would definitely recommend checking out the dvds for those who have never seen the show.

Iron Warrior (1987)


 Director: Alfonso Brescia

The Fighting Eagle returns again, sans Thong, to the legendary realm of Dragor to do battle with Phaedra, an evil sorceress. Her main weapon is an unstoppable warrior, known as the Master of the Sword, who continuously battles Ator to a draw, until finally revealing his secret connection to the Blademaster.

I have seen the first three Ator movies, and I have to say I enjoyed this one the most.  I'm not saying this is a good movie.  But, if you're interested in the movies I post on this blog, then you'll probably enjoy this as well.

Finally we get an Ator movie with i bit of nudity in it.  With the first two, I felt like i was waching something on the disney channel.  This one steps it up with more action, better fight scenes, better visuals, better story, better sets, and of course nudity.

You don't have to have seen the first two Ator movies to watch this one.  In fact, I'd almost recommend you watch this one first, and then if you can handle it, go back and watch the first two.

The Lord of the G-Strings (2003)




Director: Terry West


A diminutive and seductive Throbbit has been entrusted with the task of destroying the all-powerful G-String that can grant its possessor untold powers.
 
What is there to say about this movie?  The purpose of The Lord of the G-strings if obvious.  It's loaded with nudity and girl-on-girl action.  It's not meant to be anything else.
 
That being said.  I actually kind of enjoyed it, and not only for the reason you think.  I love Misty Mundae, she is simply adorable.  She's actually not a bad actress.  She's the best thing in this movie.  For you Buffy fans out there, she'll definitely remind you of Willow.  The movie itself was kind of amusing and I actually found myself chuckling quite a few times.  But that being said, I really cannot recommend this to anyone outside of those looking for some T&A and dont mind a crappy movie that can make them chuckle a bit.
