Plot Summary

In ancient Rome, a young Roman centurion, Marcus, is captured by a tribe of warrior women. He must navigate their matriarchal society and win the favor of their queen, Xandira, to survive and eventually find his way back home. The film blends elements of historical drama with a lighthearted, almost comedic, approach to its subject matter.

Critical Reception

Slave Girls received mixed to negative reviews, often criticized for its low production values, weak plot, and gratuitous use of scantily clad women, which was common for the peplum genre of the era. While some found its campy nature entertaining, it was largely dismissed by critics as a forgettable B-movie.

What Reviewers Say

  • Praised for its adventurous spirit and playful tone.
  • Often viewed as a low-budget, exploitative genre piece.
  • Considered a campy and somewhat nonsensical entry in the 'sword-and-sandal' genre.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce, but those available tend to reflect a mixed reception, with some viewers enjoying the film for its campy humor and visual elements, while others found it to be dated and lacking in substance.

Fun Fact

The film is notable for its attempts to blend the popular 'sword-and-sandal' genre with elements of comedy and a proto-feminist 'Amazon warrior' theme, though it was not particularly successful in critically acclaimed circles.
