Where can I watch the whole movie?

@beccaotaku Hi, glad you liked the clip. Netflix should have the movie for rent, as my location has it. If not, try a download from Amazon Prime or VuMu.com. If you have to buy it, Amazon.com Videos does have it in stock and it's less than $20. It's well worth the effort as the movie has other great Amazon action scenes. Hope that helps you.

@bishoujosavior Actually, during the Civil War the battlefield occasionally got so clogged with wounded and dead soldiers that they called "timeout" to get the dead and wounded off the field. Then they started with the frontal assaults again, a lot less impeded. It took a lot more coordination, however, than just one guy yelling to stop.

Unless I had my AK47, I would not want to face this sort of combat. Hoplire's, male or female; they were the toughest soldiers prior to the repeating gun age. Then Again, I'd get my AK47 and fight on the Amazon's side. Get me a girl friend that

way.

@thejtater Fighting with a sword, lance, and spear, mano a mano, that's real combat. If we modern armies had to still battle that way, there would be a lot less war today as it takes a real warrior, male or female, to fight like that and live.

@AmazonArtCollector ...Yah because getting blown up and shot at is childs play and it doesnt take balls of steel to step onto the modern battlefield. Get real, you can admire and idolize the old ways of war all you want but dont pretend that modern warfare is for sissies; war is it much much much more dangerous then it ever was.

"Light cavalry! Very light cavalry! So light they're floating on air!"

[AmazonArtCollector]

@hollywoodwerewolf The Amazons often fought as light cavalry, with leather armour, a labrys double-axe, a short sword, and a bow & arrows. Their strategy in war was hit and run to blunt the enemy's cavalry and to destory their infantry. If you watch the movie, you'll see that these women fought bravely and killed many Greeks. It was Theseus that called the battle off, and not Antiope.

I have it on VHS, a true good quality classic of the so called Golden Age of "Swords & Sandals" as these films were called back then.

Do you remember "clash of the titans?" I enjoyed that film when I was a kid!! By the way, I have some memories (80s) of a film about the roman conquest of England. There was "picts", forest warriors painted in blue, and some kind of celtic queen and druids, but I do not remember it very well. Do you remember any film with these characteristics?

[AmazonArtCollector]

I did enjoy the skeleton vs Greek battle in "COFT". The movie you seek is "The Viking Queen", 1967, which depicts the love and war between Queen Boedica and the Roman general. Not good history, but the final battle is quite wicked. The trailer is on Netflix and you can rent it from Netflix.

Thank you for the tip!! ;) This was the most unusual "sword and sandal" movie I ever saw...(the others were typically Hercules, Ben-Hur, Spartacus, Cleopatra or Pontius Pilatus kind of stuff), but that one impressed me quite a lot when I was a kid. (Was it, really, a movie for kids? I do not think so).

Greetings.

"War Goddess" is an accurate depiction of Amazons in combat. There were not so nice sex scenes, so it would not be for young kids. But, as for battle, these mounted ladies knew how to ride and fight and it didn't look phony. You can rent "War Goddess" from Netflix as a two movies-on-one disk and I do recommend it. It's a rare movie and hard to find on Amazon for purchase.

@AmazonArtCollector, I have it on VHS as the original title The Amazons. Is great, one of the few films to be more realistic about the amazones than most. It was not meant to be for G audiences for sure. but is agreat old classic movie.

I thought that the combat scenes were the most exciting that I've seen in any Amazon movie of the 1960-1980 era. The knew how to ride horses and fought like real warriors in wearing real armour, and not like the typcial bimbos you see in a lot of other period movies. You can rent this movie at NetFlix to see the rest of the action, which does have some great fight scenes.
