I rated this a 5, because I am unclear if it was intended to be so bad that it is good, or if the makers of this film were actually trying to produce something worthwhile and ended up with this.....movie (?).
This is the story of twin girls, who were raised to believe they were boys, that vow revenge against an evil man that slew their birth mother and adoptive family. Along the way they gain the help of a barbarian (no where near as barbaric as Conan), what looks like someone that is supposed to be a dwarf (a far cry from Gimli) and a Faun (half man, half goat, all very weird).
The twins that star in this vehicle were once playmates, though I did not find them very attractive from the neck up. As one might expect they are quite buxom and not shy about showing off their assets. This is where the "Surprise, you're really women" shtick lost me. Perhaps if they were played by twins that did not have at least a C cup that would be more believable, not to mention that they were the only "men" in the film that shaved their legs and pits. There were scenes where the guy playing the Faun was breathing too heavily and you could see the mask being sucked tighter to his face. It also seemed like half the actors were speaking a language other than English and the dubbing was terrible. Also, the fight scenes were very poorly done and one could definitely tell that everyone was pulling their punches. This movie was made in 1982, so I can forgive a lot, except for the fact that the special effects in the Star Trek television series that was made in the 60's were so much better.., or The Terminator, which came out two years later, seemed like it was made a century after this.
I am normally quite forgiving in many of the areas that I pointed out here, but for whatever reason this movie, though it kept me watching, raised my hackles on so many levels. So, back to my 5 star rating. If this movie was made with the intent that it be so bad that is us actually good, then 5 stars is far too low. However, if it was made this way with the production team thinking they were making a masterpiece, then 5 stars is far too generous.
