Cute film about amazons(???) and Gladiators in the Roman era, especially for the male audience. We also have the chance to see the legendary queen of Minor Asia, Zenobia (sic). Watch Jennifer Rubin, the ex-model of Calvin Klein Obsession, succeed nicely as actress in the role of Ione. Richard Norton (martial arts action film actor) plays Lucius. Generally, the production is well done, low budget OK, but not bad. It's worth it! Nice music (Tim Jones), plot (Zachary Weintraub), set. (Filming location: Lithuania). It's not THE GLADIATOR, or BRAVEHEART, of course but it's a good low budget film. You'll spend 2 happily hours in front of your screen.

This movie is absolutely terrible, anyone who likes it should be shot. Wait, there is no one who likes it, thus negating the threat of the shooting of any demon spawn of satan who should per chance come along and happen to enjoy this aborted fetus of a movie. Not being able to stop the creation of this monstrousity of a movie negates the entire purpose of my life, and exemplifies all that is wrong with the world. This movie makes me believe that the terrorists have indeed won. Now that we are done ranting about how terrible this movie is, we must describe it in 3 short sentences. 1. Girl stabs man with blade that randomly appears from a candlestick. 2. Girl fights man, girl has sex with man, girl speaks with man whilst sleeping, girl watches man die after being shot with arrows. 3. Girl smites evil man, who had smote her beloved family and tribe of scantilly clad whores. Throw in random scenes of naked women bathing a fat man in a bathhouse and this is the entire movie. People who have given this movie greater than a 1 rating must have their fingers cut off and their foreheads branded with the mark of Satan. This necessitates the need of a possible zero rating in the rating system.This movie caused people to hear their neghbors dog commanding them to kill people, write helter skelter on peoples walls in blood, and to send letter bombs to universities. Fin.

This is N O T a good movie. A mixture between Baywatch and Xenia (TV). I was very disappointed. OK the costumes are ok, but the make up looks like it is made for the theater not for a movie. Wendi Winburn looks like she has had 10 cosmetic operations. That's ok i guess, but not for an actress in a historical movie. Can't say the acting is good ether. I could write about a lot of bad things in this movie but I won't. I only wish to warn you for this movie if you liked Gladiator. It's miles between the two movies. No a movie I recommend. Only if you are interested in watching good looking women half naked. (And who is not?!)

Roman epic fans will welcome this addition to the genre. With Richard Norton as Lucius, the film's most genuine performance, and with histrademark action choreography/direction, adventure fans will relish the arena sequences pitting gladiators against Amazons under the evil gaze of banished General Marcus Crassus (Patrick Bergin). Crassus and his thugs destroyed the family of the heroine, Serena, and as she ages, all her roads lead to Rome and to revenge. She joins the Amazons in their battles against the Romans, and sympathetic male warrior Lucius (Norton) becomes both her ally and her companion. Norton knows how to render a compelling hero. With a formidable list of movies and martial arts accomplishments to his credit, he has distinguished himself as both an actor and a stunt co-ordinator in the film and TV industries. Net info on the film indicates that he did the stunt choreography and co-ordina- tion for this film. His work ensures that the film graduates from being a routine adventure about vengeance to an impressive stage for action sequences. Strangely the credits fail to list his work in the film as Stunt Choreographer and Co-Ordinator. They also overlook Judy Green in a visible and welcomed role as one of the Amazons. Since Norton'scontributions distinguish the movie, perhaps the producers should re- type their credits for future video printings. It should not take a prod from one of the spear throwers to give credits where credits are due! In the meantime, enjoy "Amazons and Gladiators" and its trademark Richard Norton action.
