The Sisterhood

Fun little post apocalyptic sword and sorcery thing, with hot chicks swinging swords and sorcerizing. Don't ask questions like "Why didn't she shoot those hot blue lasers out of them big blue eyes and get away from the guy that had her chained to his bike?Or "What advantage do two girls armed with M-16's have over 20 guys who also have M-16's?"And, when Earth Goddess Mother finally shows up to save the day, and asks "Why do you go back to the old ways of weapons and violence, instead of trusting Me?" none of her disciples say "Uhhhh... Because we've been here for 6 months chained to this wall while Aqualung and his band of merry men were making us their play doh, and you've been sitting on your mountain top contemplating your no doubt shapely navel?" (Earth Goddess Mother doesn't take her shirt off for us.)But, there's worse ways to spend an idle hour and a half or so.

Well I got through roughly 50% and asked myself why am I watching this. Was it because of the hairy guys with metal plates on their chests, driving around in the wrecked cars on invisible gasoline? Or because they raided some people for car parts? And the latter who were dressed in sandbags? Or the bad swordsmanship scenes? Heck there wasn't even much for mysoginists -just a flash of some smaller boobs during a bubble bath. When the Bad Guys were raiding the Sandbag People, there was one guy standing up in a car, screaming with both arms over his head. And the other one who was repeatedly shooting the same RPG. Man the acting was so bad that I could have played in it, but it wouldn't have been possible to keep a straight face. Zero plot. Zero acting. Pathetic special effects. I hope they found their spare car parts.One last question: how do I remove this film from my list of "favorites"?

If it wasn't for the few brief topless scenes, this movie wouldn't be worth watching. Seems to be shot nearly entirely in one old gravel pit.

I gave this one star because I laughed many times through this and mostly it was because I was feeling good with beer inside me. Without drinking, I probably wouldn't have made it through the first ten minutes. Oh yeah, the one star was because there isn't a half-star rating system here.

Pretty rough to watch. There's hot 80's chicks in it, wearing skimpy clothes sword-fighting while possessing superpowers though. So, if your in the mood to journey back into time to relive what some thought next year (2021) might be like post-apocalypse, THEN and only then... this is the movie for YOU. (not me, lol)

Once you get past a bit of bland opening production... you realize its an action movie with babes and also a manly action anti-hero. Once you get to the end of the movie you realize that this movie could have possibly been the inspiration for any number of Action, RPG, and Strategy games. Not to spoil too much but there's scenes that could be a Fallout entrance to a shelter, a feeling of discovering a Pre war Star League level of tech cache discovered, with a lot of Mad Max muckery. 5 stars.

Barely managed to watch for 30 minutes before I turned it off. It's not even fun to admire the schlock... this is just a bad film.

Back when shows didn't have to be politically correct. Just fun to watch...

I can only say that I like this film, not "love it". I am a fan of Conan, Red Sonja, Deathstalker etc. and this film is in the same vein although it is set in the future. I would say that it is a cult film, and a budget one. The ladies are very nice to look at but the acting isn't brilliant. Having said that it was at least as good as the acting in the Deathstalker films I have and slightly better than that in some of the other films I watched and then reviewed recently. It is one I will keep and watch again in a few years.

There is enjoyable trash and then there is just plain trash. This film has no redeeming qualities whatever: bad acting, bad script (if there was one), bad effects, sound which is often inaudible and a poor quality transfer to DVD which gives even the desert scenes an air of gloom. The general impression is of a remake of the original Mad Max by an untalented amateur dramatics group, filmed by somebody who just happened to be passing. The idea of a group of strong female warriors fighting to establish a matriarchy sounds promising, but is utterly wasted. The women have 'super-powers', which seem to involve laser beams coming out their eyes, but have to employ a convenient find of machine guns and even an armoured fighting vehicle, still mysteriously working perfectly after all these centuries, to battle their sword-wielding enemies. The men have no idea of fighting except to wave their aluminium swords in the air and run forwards and backwards shouting loudly until they are shot down. The women are only saved in the end by a sort of supernatural visitation who appears and releases them, presumably because the director couldn't think of a dumber way to end the film. No stars for this: don't buy it any price, and don't waste more than 10 minutes of your life watching it.
