UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
peterroeder34 I tried watching this on my phone. It is pretty cool although a bit cheesy. I think some of the notions even if they are meant for fun are a bit outrageous, especially that these Amazon women supposedly kill their own male children. Anyway, however stupid the movie is it is still good fun and Anita Ekberg is a very beautiful, sexy woman. I haven't finished watching the entire movie maybe it is a bit long. 1.20 minutes might have been better than 1.40. This movie is not a good adventure movie, it is not Indiana Jones, but it is sort of good cheesy fun. Moreover, it goes without saying that a city of beautiful women has some nice erotic implications.
Andy Ormerod Only ever watched this film once in the early 80's. At the time when video hiring was becoming main stream. My friends and I used to hire several films at the weekend and watch them after a night out. Gradually, we would exhaust all the better known films and would venture into unknown territory - like this film.Because we had never heard of various films, we would often go off the cover...and who was in it. The cover looked great - exciting with scantily clad women and, of course, it had Donald Pleasance in it - so it couldn't be that bad!There are two elements of the film that remain with me... 1. In one scene, Donald Pleasance had a revolver...which fired 15 bullets!2. Bear in mind we were all the 'worse for wear', a friend, Mark Stott, saw that one of the characters entered a club called 'The Disco Lovers Club'. Unfortunately, due to the power of video and the ability to rewind, we saw that the sign actually read 'The Discoveries Club'. Such a pity the sign didn't read what we first thought!
ferbs54 The excellent reference book "DVD Delirium" suggests hard liquor before an attempt to watch the 1979 TV movie "Gold of the Amazon Women," but somehow, I made it through without. In this amusing cheese(cake) fest, Swedish actor Bo Svenson--38 here and in mid-career--searches the Amazon basin with his thrill-seeking sidekick for the legendary Seven Cities of Gold. They are ultimately captured by a group of white-skinned Amazons, led by the Swedish actress Anita Ekberg--48 here and at the end of her career. The picture actually feels like two separate films, with a fairly serious first half dealing with jungle exploration and some murder attempts on our heroes perpetrated by drug dealer Donald Pleasence (has any modern-day actor appeared in more dubious projects?), but once the girls appear, the film becomes mere male-fantasy camp, with men in cages being forced to sexually please some truly dynamite-looking women. And these guys want to escape?!?! It must be said that Ekberg looks fairly blowsy and out of shape here, unlike her lithe and athletic-looking underlings; she's a looooong way from her Miss Sweden 1951 win, not to mention here "La Dolce Vita" (1960) breakthrough. The film itself also features a helicopter attack, poison ants and snakes, crocodiles, a battle between the Amazons and blowgun-wielding natives, fistfights, smack-addicted Amazons, and the discovery of the Lost City. My advice is to put your brain on hold and enjoy this lighthearted, cheesy fun for what it is. Alright, maybe drink a few beers first...
David Elroy The filmmakers obviously didn't take this too seriously, and you shouldn't either. Heck, it's a TV movie from 1979 that opens with Amazon archers running around in New York City. It's got action, humor, a few surprises, and a great acting moment from Donald Pleasence when he finally discovers the first of the fabled cities. Bo Svenson anticipates Nick Nolte with his grizzled explorer character who's really a good guy underneath his gruff exterior. The leather-bikini Amazons are cute, although most of them are quite skinny (I imagine the casting director had a thing for skinny ladies). The whole production is quick-paced and good-natured. Pop a beer and enjoy.
