| Bear with me here folks, it's a wild ride. The year is 23 After the Cancellation. Tom, Dick, and Hari (get it?) steer their boat into port near a flea market to peddle their wares. Unfortunately, the Norks attack, slap people around, and wave plastic scythes. Hari is captured while Tom and Dick are beaten senseless. They awaken later to find themselves enslaved by the followers of She.
After much fighting, kidnapping, torture, and a run in with the Nukes, the fun really starts. Witness Tom and Dick eat meat and listen to bee-bop/techno music with the Beautiful People and then fend off attacks by Godan's glowing matte effect eyes. Listen to Shanda say "No! No! Ah! No! No!" for eight straight minutes while enduring the least effective torture ever devised.
After that, it's only logical they would be attacked by a fat guy in pink ballet outfit and stuffed in plastic bags right? We can't forget Xenon, of course. His technique is to annoy people into chopping off his arm, head, leg, whatever, which then grow into duplicates of himself! Pure genius, my friends, pure genius. And that's not all...
I apologize for the time frames below, the timer feature on my watch was acting screwy and some of the times may be a few minutes off. |

| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
 | Flea markets after the Apocalypse are even more cutthroat.
|  | Goddesses need not have any powers, just the title "Goddess."
|  | Goddesses have some wicked monthly cycles (you'll just have to watch the movie).
|  | Never trust a woman with pigs in her apartment.
|  | Be kind to radiation spawned mutants, their arms come off very easily.
|  | Being lightly slapped with a cat o' nine tails is unbearable.
|  | Don't chop up the annoying little guy guarding the bridge, no matter how much he gets on your nerves.
|  | Do, however, toss him into a mine field.

| At this point we have four copies of Xenon running wild and Tom still has not gotten the idea through his head that the annoying bastard is a hybrid made from Robin Williams, Steve Martin, and Planaria DNA.

Too bad that film is out of print. It sounds like something I would like to see. I guess I will have to wait until it comes to television or is back in print. Does anybody know whether this version is as good as the 1965 one with Ursula Andress, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee and/or the 1935 version with Helen Gallaghn, Randolph Scott, and Nigel Bruce of Sherlock Holmes fame?

One thing none of you have said is that Sandahl (She) is unbelievably HOT and seeing her gorgeous legs makes it work for me. The film is definitely worth seeing though, not just for sexy Sandahl, but also because it is such hilarious rubbish.

I use to watch this movie back to back with Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon (which I own on DVD now) on USA's Up All Night. If only I could find SHE on dvd.

I wonder if the Wachowski brothers were inspired to do the fight with Agent Smith multiples in Matrix Reloaded by the 'similar' scene with the Xenon(s)..

You can get she on DVD in England, check Amazon.co.uk, it's an absolutely awful moviw though. Sandahl Begman is sexy though, but she is about as goddesslike as a wet fish! The poor thing should've tried acting lessons. She was funny in Red Sonja though!
