6/10
This is an average but fun addition to the apocalyptic genre

Phoenix the Warrior (1988) is a movie that I watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a post apocalyptic society where tribes of women fight for survival. Men are in short supply but when a young lady is found pregnant and absorbed by a tribe the tribe becomes a target.

This movie is directed by Robert Hayes (Task Force 2001) and stars Kathleen Kinmont (Bride of Reanimator), Persis Khambatta (Star Trek: The Motion Picture), Roxanne Kernohan (Critters 2) and Karen Russell (Dick Tracy).

The makeup, masks, attire, settings and props were pretty solid. The women fight scenes were great and there's a tremendous waterfall sequence in this. The black dancer is a smoke show and the entire strip club sequence was great. Some of the shootouts and special effects were weak; however, the villain was solid.

Overall, this is an average but fun addition to the apocalyptic genre. I would score this a 5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
