Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

HUNDRA is another gender-swap variant on CONAN THE BARBARIAN, much like SHE and RED SONJA; the main difference is that this film is absolutely terrible. It's directed by the awful Matt Cimber, whose YELLOW HAIR film was equally dreadful, and like that film it stars non-acting blonde starlet Laurene Landon. This film was shot in Spain and had the dialogue dubbed in afterwards. The plot is a straight copy of that of CONAN, with Hundra's village being massacred while she goes on a rampage of revenge afterwards. But the execution is terrible, and the locations are the only good thing about this. Cimber's reliance on ridiculous, endless slow motion shots during his action sequences is not anyone's idea of good choreography; it's so bad, it's not even funny.

Hundra Needs A Baby - that sums up this film minus the fighting of course. Hundra comes home one day to find her family and own kind killed from a raid on their village. The clan of the wolf is to blame. Hundra hates men - all men BUT the wise sage woman tells Hundra to find of the wolf clan men and to have a baby in order to keep there kind going, since they are the last of their kind. Then our movie really begins... Hundra goes out to hunt for a man of the wolf clan to have a baby with.The movie is alright - not too bad. The acting is lacking a bit but it's not so awful that the characters are flat.. everyone in the film was doing their best I believe. It's a sincere film with a handful of comical scenes (like the belching & farting man).This is a pretty decent sword and sorcery type of movie if you like the Conan types of films - except this one is focused on a female barbarian.5/10

Beautiful blonde warrior woman Hundra (Laurene Landon) would rather have a good horse between her legs than a man, but after a savage attack on her tribe by a horde of hairy barbarians she is forced to seek out a mate to ensure the continuation of her people.Matt Cimber's Hundra supposedly turns the tables on the male-dominated fantasy genre with a barbarian woman who is more than a match for any man; it soon becomes apparent, however, that the feminist angle is just for show, the film exploiting its female star's physical appeal—and that of the other women in the film—just as much as any other B-movie trash. Bad news for the women's liberation movement, but good news for fans of sexy ladies in small loincloths.Landon's wooden delivery of her lines makes it abundantly clear that she was not hired for her acting ability, but rather for her sex appeal and athleticism. Hundra might swing her sword as skillfully as any Cimmerian, but she does so in a skimpy outfit that frequently gives glimpses of her shapely behind; when she's not fighting, she likes to go for a naked ride through the surf on her horse.Cheap titillation aside, Cimber's movie is at its most entertaining whenever there is fighting, the blood flowing freely as Hundra hacks and stabs at her opponents; however, there is a prolonged absence of action once our heroine enters a city where the local high priest, whose temple doubles as a knocking shop for barbarians, vows to add her to his stock of subservient women. While avoiding capture, Hundra falls in love, gets pregnant, gives birth to a daughter, and teaches a slave girl how to fight, all of which is fairly dull to watch.Things eventually pick up for a rousing finalé (aided immensely by Ennio Morricone's epic score) in which Hundra rallies the women to revolt against their captors, but despite more bloodletting and the hilarious demise of the high priest (a woman suffocates him by straddling his face), Hundra remains a fairly mediocre affair overall.

Technically-speaking, Hundra could be an OK B-grade Conan-era movie : nice visuals, great Ennio Morriconne music, enough budget for decent locations, etc. Sadly, the filmmakers decided to inject badly weighted politics based on the male-female eternal struggle for sex domination. Basically put :Males want to submit, enslave, rape and most of the kill women. Females want to submit, enslave, rape and most of the time kill men. Every men hates every women, and vice-versa.Could a fantasy world like this possibly exist? NO, because :Most of the women do want to have a relationship and sex with men. Most of the men do not maim, rape and kill women. Homosexuals coexist in society, not outside of it, with heterosexuals.All of these facts exposed, I can only view Hundra has a boring, exploitative, hateful, illogical, ridiculous, sexist B-grade movie, amazon myth or not. Avoid, especially if you believe in equal rights for both sexes.
