Review of Hundra

Hundra (1983)
3/10
bad enough to be worth a chuckle or two
21 June 2007
This lightweight bit of silly feminist twaddle has Laurene Landon as a female Conan the Barbarian-type woman who really hates males (even berating her dog for being a guy) who goes on a quest of vengeance after her village is devested by pig-headed males (figutively, of course). This film is way to silly to ever take even remotely seriously and it's all the better because of it. Be it Landon's awful reading of the script, midgets who lack depth perception, Hundra riding naked through the shoreline for no reason whatsoever, the general inaneness of the story, or a combination of those elements, the flick is quite watchable IF you have a high tolerance for films of this nature. Don't go into it expecting Conan, don't expect even Red Sonia. Set your expectations very low though and you might be pleasantly surprised. And I'm talking "Babarian Queen" low. The movie also seems to go on to long and could've used some tighter editing.

Subversive Cinema's DVD Extras (R1): 47 and a half minute Making of 'Hunting Hundra'; Cast biographies; Theatrical trailer (with nudity); and Trailers for "Future Kill" (with nudity), "Sensetive new age Killer" (with brief nudity), "Dust Devil", "Wild Blue Yunder", & "Land of Look Behind"

Easter Egg: got to the special features section, then on to 'Credits', while in that menu press right for a 2 minute and 50 second easter egg video clip of Laurene Landon talking about working with Robert Aldrich and confusing him with Robert Altman (she hasn't aged well at all)
