Movie review - "Amazons" (1986) *1/2

 I liked all the fighting women, the cast are athletic and attractive, it's set mostly at night which works for an atmosphere, there's always something happening.

The story is confusing. It didn't have to be confusing. There's a lot of running around and I struggled to tell the characters apart. There was the bald man with beard (JosephWhipp) and the old queen but all the warriors blended in. The film was crying out for some solid C list star to anchor it. Was Katt Shea too busy? Too expensive?

There's also magic and shape shifting. The nudity livens things up. But it's frustrating to watch because it's so needlessly confusing.
