Hundra (1983)

An epic, sword wielding film that resembles the likes of Red Sonja and Conan the Barbarian. In this fantastical world there is a tribe of women that have sworn off any partnership with men. In order to keep their society thriving, some of the women visit other settlements in order to receive the male "seed". If the 'seed' produces a female child, she is gladly welcomed into the tribe. On the other hand, if it is a male child, he is simply left behind at the nearest settlement while the mother once again attempts to produce a female heir.

Hundra, the best of the female warriors, finds the idea of reproduction appalling. She refuses to let any man 'penetrate' her, let it be with his sword, or, well, with his other sword. But when her tribe is decimated by a pack of ravenous, rape happy men, Hundra must ensure that her tribe survives by getting... boned.

With a decent musical score, Hundra is worth at least one watch through. Though, the films novelty may wear off due to the oversimplification of gender roles within the story.
