She

Like me, you’ll be wondering how much LSD was dropped during the writing of this cheap, crazy post apocalyptic production which transports H. Ryder Haggard’s mythical character ‘She’ (Aisha) into the 23rd century after the ‘Cancellation’.
 
Sandahl Bergman (Conan The Barbarian -82) is the very sassy, limber, future-god who controls a vast army of loyal savage sisters that help her rule the barren, tribal wasteland where everybody dresses up in a mix of clothing stolen from hookers, pimps, housewives, baseball players, medieval knights, camp priests, mimes and especially American footballers!
 
Why? Well, according to this - the future will be full of crap, poodle hair, raccoon eyeliner and massive feckin shoulder pads. The outfits ain’t the only stolen goods on display, and many avid film viewers will spot slices of plot cut from the corpses of Zardoz (73), Logans Run (75), Star Wars (77), Mad Max (79) and even Time Bandits (81), but you will not care a crap because once our lunkhead hero David Goss and Bergman get to adventuring, they battle giants, Gordon Mitchell, Mummies (with chainsaws), lazer-eyes psychics, lesbos, gay boxers, rich werewolves, ninjas, barbarians, zombies and a staggering array of absurd fantasy kooks who dress like various gang members from The Warriors (78).
 
Although hardly essential to the ‘genre’, it’s certainly one of the looniest and remains a personal fave of oddness due to the ‘initiation’ scene were Bergman fights a silver, 7 foot tall robo-Frankenstein monster. If that can’t hook ye, just wait till you hear the OST artists; Justin Hayward, Rick Wakeman, Motorhead and director Nesher’s own band - Bastard.

Good :-)

Chainsaw wielding mummies, robo-frankenstein and lesbos? And I havent see this yet? Something is definitely wrong.

Thanks a lot for telling me about.

Thanks for the review!

I'd never even heard of this before. Based on the review, I had to seek out more info last night. I then went to eBay and placed a bid for the OOP UK DVD. I won it today for three quid shipped to the US. Looking forward to checking out the weirdness!

Always meant to see this one

Need to check this out. I loved her in Conan and I saw some of this one cable one night and got into it but could not see it all. I will try to find it after your review.

I finally got around to doing a simple but nice looking banner for your site. It is on my sidebar when you have time, let me know if you like it.

see ya...Bill

She really is as goofy and insane as it sounds. Rice Krispy flea markets, chainsaws and harpoons, ninjas jumping out of crates in warehouses, big hairy men dressed in feather boas and ballerina dresses, and Yeats poems at pool parties in the post-apocalypse.
