This movie's greatest selling point is the sex. There is tons of it, even for an exploitation film. I wouldn't go out of my way to review this if that was all it had to offer though. It presents minimal plot yet an interesting take on politics in the city of Amazons. Most impressive of all however, is the acrobatics.
For some reason, women in American movies at this time were, more often than not, poor fighters. Even in the 80's, Sandahl Bergman, the queen of fantasy adventures, could just barely pass as someone trained with a sword. She was in at least three I can think of in which swordplay was important to her character, yet she never once sold me that she could use it. Against the odds, every major and minor character in War Goddess can fight. On foot, horseback, and in mud, these women can wield any weapon and perform any feat. It's very impressive.
