The Amazons have a queen, and they are served by queens as well!

Who better to play servants to women than a group of the gayest men outside of the Village People? I couldn't contain my laughter upon this discovery, as these mincing servants are so busy cooking and cleaning all day that they could not possibly know what an Amazon soldier must do all day. One of the cook's delight is more than obvious when he discovers a muscular Greek soldier trying to steal his homemade buns. The Greeks are fooled into visiting the island of the Amazons where they are drugged out sentenced to become slaves, with obvious chores when one of the soldier's biological clock starts ticking. The buxom, scantily clad soldiers even put on a show with 60's style beatnik music, then lust over the men on the slave block, even though they obviously abhor the entire male sex. This is the story of the rivalry of two women fighting over who kill be the next Amazon Queen.

This utilizes a hysterical turn of events, with the very misandrist women just as sexist as the men, and it's obvious that this is simply a taming of the shews parody where the men become determined to show these women that the Gods created them simply to be wives. Deliberate comedy comes through the dubbing which gives the captured men various American dialects. This is gladiator movie light, with the women simply hiding a soft, stereotypical femininity behind their alleged distaste for all men. It's almost a slam against severe levels of feminism, yet fair to the feelings of these women who want to be something more than some man's plaything. Rod Taylor takes on the lead role, yet is lost among the hard torsos of the actors with gladiator experience.
