War Gods of Babylon / War Goddess [DVD]

I admit to taking my time in writing any kind of review for this double bill, mainly to see what other viewers thought, but as there is a deathly silence I feel I should add my tuppenceworth. First..Do you know about "War Goddess" (aka "The Amazons")? Well, if you do, and if you really liked what you saw in the cinema nearly 40 years ago, then you must get this. I don't believe there will ever be a more complete version available, and while the quality (as the distrubutors admit) is not mint, it truly is watchable. This version is probably missing some 15 or so minutes from the original cut, but what you want is there, except for a strange censor's cut of 10 secs or so after the second fight which does make for mystery surrounding the sudden bonding of Antiope and Orithea (particularly odd after what we had just seen). It's a daft film but it's wicked and a bit sleazy, and surprisingly big scale. T.Young probably only directed the studio sequences, and thorougly enjoyed himself I'm sure. Sabine Sun and Alena Johnstone look good, and hey, it's fun. If you don't know the film at all it's probably best you give it a miss, but it is cheap so perhaps worth taking a chance. Second.."War Gods of Babylon"..Just look at the cover, front and back, and make your own mind up which film is really the prime seller. It's a washed out print but scope, and not the worst of it's kind, tho it somehow manages to make Jackie Lane fairly sexless..how on earth did they do that? I hope this helps and with respect I think the viewer should ignore previous reviews (tho Massimo's English is better than my Italian!). Do give it a go and if you are disapointed well you haven't spent too much money. 4 stars for making a fun film available.

Title Italian : WarGoddes in topless now nowhere to be found in ItalyGoliardic adventure between Amazons "in topless" (the Italian title certainly does not disappoint the expectations ..), apparently without sexual interests, and Greek soldiers in "crisis hormone. They do not make discounts for the jokes and double meanings, which give a touch more kitsch. Terence Young is the acclaimed director of the first 007, and it shows: humor Bondia eros (much less "restrained") and legendary fisticuffs (the gem of the film) between prosperous amazons nude. There is the pretense of feminism (these were the golden years of the dispute), though a bit 'too naive. Funny 70s peplum that rather than telling the legendary fight of Perseus against the Amazons, it takes around nicely. The battle of the sexes view the first director of James Bond (Terence Young), in an atmosphere typical of the films of the Trinity.Some scenes, like the two rivals fighting Amazons among them, seem taken from his Bond movies, the rest is routine

"War god of Babylon" is a story of fall of ancient Assyria , although it's Sword & sandal film , it is close to real history. King Sardanapalus and Zoroaster are real historical person. But there is one mistake in the title. Main place of story is at Nineve of the capital of Assyria. The title 'War god of Babylon' is suitable.On the other, "War Goddess" is disappointed , why the package is designed with "War Goddes"? I think the director might be Terence Young who is a director of 007 of earlier series. but this film make you waste time. it no valuable as SS film.

I THINK THAT THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE LAST REVIEW MUST HAVE BEEN WATCHING ANOTHER FILM, BECOUSE THE FILMS (ONE FILM ON EACH SIDE)THAT I WAS WATCHING WERE AWFUL.NOT ONLY DID I HAVE A VERY BAD COPY, THERE WAS ONLY TWO NUDE FIGHT SCENES (IN WAR GODS OF BABYLON)AND THEY WERE IN THE DARK AND WHEN THEY GOT A BIT INTRESTING IT WAS CUT. AS FOR WAR GODDESS IT WAS SO BAD I COULD NOT FINNISH IT.I LIKE THE CASE BETTER.
