Golden Temple of Amazons, Topless Babes, Cat-Fights, and Whippings

Okay, though we can look at 1986's sexploitation offering from Spain as a feminist anthem, we will probably choose to view it as a mere gratuitous sleaze-fest. Nothing wrong with that and co-director Jesus Franco would surely approve. Every woman in this film is topless or totally nude and most will be whipped or strung up. Today we look at 1986's "Golden Temple of Amazons."
As our film begins, topless babes are jiggling nicely on horseback as they ride to a jungle compound. They kill the Simpsons, a missionary couple who stole their gold, but leave little Liana alive. Now Liana (Analia Ivars) is all grown up and topless as she frolics among the jungle animals. She has sworn revenge on the babe Amazons who murdered her parents. She ventures to their temple and picks up some allies along the way. Koukou (Stanley Kapoul), a fat medicine man will join her as will archaeologist Harvey (Emilio Linder) and his sultry wife Bella (Alicia Principe). Bella will eventually go skinny dipping and be whipped and tortured by the Amazon leader, Rena (Eva Leon).
Okay, Liana and her party are captured, whipped, and tortured by Rena and her Amazons. A lot of jiggling and moaning will ensue. The great procreator Uruck (William Berger) tells Rena he'd rather copulate with Liana. Now Rena wants to kill Liana and a duel to the death is arranged between the two topless beauties. More jiggling and torture ensue and Bella's fate will be so sad (you skinny dip in movies...you die horribly). Liana is determined to kill Rena and Urick, but after torture and watching her friends be pulled apart, her spirit may be broken. Or, that is what Rena is hoping for.
Will Rena, the sultry blonde and topless Amazon allow Urick to just cast her aside without a fight? Is this film a metaphor for what modern day feminism has deteriorated into? Are Liana's larger breasts a factor in Uruck's decision to copulate with her instead of Rena? As today's phony feminists make stupid and boring films, watch a real feminist epic, "Golden Temple of Amazons."
