Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Amazons" is in my opinion the weakest of New Concordes sword-and-sorcery reissues on DVD, but that's not to say that this movie doesn't have it's perks.
If you've seen Deathstalker or Barbarian Queen you pretty much know what to expect here. The movie follows the story of two amazons on a quest to find a sword that can stop the evil wizard who is plagueing the land. Not very original, but in the movie's defense that's not all the movies' really about. There's plenty of sub-plots, such as a blood fued between two amazons, a woman who transforms into a tiger and is sent by the wizard to follow the amazons, a group of defenseless virgins who always fall victim to a group of cannibals, and an underground resistance movement with plenty of backstabbing to go around.
The movie of course has it's share of nudity (though it is not as gratuitous as some of the other movies in the sword-and-sorcery series), and suprisingly except for a few seconds at the beginning, the movie contains no stock footage from previous films (people who've seen the others will know what I mean). All in all this is a good movie (actually if i had the chance to start over again I would give this movie 4 stars) if you liked Deathstalke, Barbarian Queen, or are a fan of sword-and-sorcery films this is a good movie (though one shouldn't expect much in the way of special effects)
