KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Wordiezett So much average

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Ed-Shullivan I was not impressed. I enjoy Amazon themed films and what guy doesn't enjoy watching dozens of nubile young blondes dancing around a campfire? But in this case the film lacks any substance whatsoever. The lead character is a guy named David (Michael Latimer) who is supposed to be an African big game hunter but instead he is the one who gets caught by a tribe of hot lusty women.So boy meets girl, or should I say boy meets two girls. One blonde slave girl, and one brunette princess who wants to shag our male hero David. There is absolutely no good action or thriller scenes in this film. I thought the amount of time wasted on a variety of tribal dance scenes that went on way too long wasted almost one third of the entire film which made the film even more boring if that was even possible.I give it a higher than deserved 3 out of 10 rating because of the blonde slave girls who were hot and abundant, but other than that you could get the same thrill out of scanning through a few pages of some old National Geographic magazines.

Red-Barracuda This fantasy-adventure film from Hammer Studios was made with the full intention of it being of a similar mould to their big hit from the previous year, the iconic Raquel Welch fur bikini extravaganza One Million Years B.C. Both films share the major production value of having lots of skimpily costumed hot women in a prehistoric setting. In this one, a game hunter on an expedition in Africa ends up going through a time vortex or something and winds up in a mysterious land ruled by scantily clad brunette women, who lord over their blonde equivalents as well as a bunch of hapless males. The set-up is wilfully absurd and is simply a means to delivering the requisite eye candy and surf the One Million Years B.C. popularity wave.This one stars Martine Beswick as the evil Queen Kari. She also featured in the aforementioned Raquel Welch vehicle and also had a striking role in Hammer's later Dr Jekyll & Sister Hyde (1971). She's certainly one of the best things about this movie; by contrast the male lead was extremely lifeless by comparison and merely took us from A to B. But, while this is a silly film in many ways I can't say this bothered me very much as the sub-genre it belongs to is hardly one based around reality, after all One Million Years B.C. features humans battling dinosaurs and cave girls adorned with beauty products and expensive haircuts. So really, can it honestly be any surprise that the events depicted in Prehistoric Women are kind of silly? This is a fantasy pure and simple. It even seems to revolve around a legend of a white rhinoceros (on wheels), so you know you are in for some comforting nonsense with this one from early on. Like Hammer films in general there has been some definite care taken with it though and, while it is modestly budgeted, it is nice to look at. In the final analysis, this is a fun example of what can best be described as the savage girl sub-genre.

utgard14 Hammer hokum about a hunter with high-waisted pants who finds himself in a jungle kingdom where pretty brunettes rule over pretty blondes (I kid you not). The brunettes' horny leader (Martine Beswick) takes a liking to him but he's more into blondes. Drama ensues. Cheesy Hammer 'lost world' film with a campy performance from sexy Martine Beswick. Love that seductive dance scene. It may seem tame by today's standards but I'm sure in the '60s a movie full of babes in fur bikinis was very titillating. Lots of unintentionally funny lines and situations. The very premise of brunettes enslaving blondes is laughable. It's no classic but it is goofy fun. Not the kind of movie you really can or should take seriously.

legatushedlius The best thing about this film is the amazingly diverse cast: Firstly, there is sultry, Jamaican-born, Hammer Films princess Martine Beswick as the imperious Queen.Secondly, there is former top model and now world-famous fashion designer Edina Ronay ( who is daughter of famous UK food critic Egon Ronay and mother of UK soap actress (Hollyoaks)Shebah)as the slave girl.On top of that you have 60s kitchen sink drama queen Carol White and to top it all there is top playwright and scenery chewing character actor Steven Berkoff. All this and warring slave girls in fur bikinis too!
