This is part of a series in which I suggest three related movies to watch. You can find more information and the list of recommendations here.
Today's list looks at three barbarian women from the 80s. After the release of Arnold Swarzenegger’s classic Conan in 1982, movie studios we quick to follow up with female versions.
Hundra (1983)
An Italian-American-Spanish movie in which an accomplished warrior, the last of her matriarchal tribe, sets out to follow her destiny and restart the line.
Barbarian Queen (1985)
An American-Argentine movie. On the eve of a wedding, a barbarian queen’s village is attacked and everyone, including the man she loves and her sister, is taken. A small group of survivors set out to save them and avenge the dead.
