Barbarian Queen (1985) Led by a vanguard of women fighters of an oppressed tribe, the peasants, slaves, gladiators and oppressed tribes rise up to overthrow a king and his slave-owning guard of men. Potentially revolutionary content is seriously undermined by pornographic "barbarian" costumes and repeated scenes of rape and murder mixed in with the male pleasures and fantasies. Eroticizing violence, perhaps all the more convincingly because of its pseudo-feminist political veneer.
