The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

While choosing slave boys, two women approach a runt... "I am the god's gift to the women of southern Greece. Let's be off my babies. Y'all is my women now ..."If that line doesn't tickle your funny bone ... Colossus will not reach you. Melitta (Daniela Rocca) picks Rod Taylor (Pirro) last. And our heroes are left hot, horny, and hopelessly humorous. Come on, if you like schlock, this flick will put a smile on your face and it might even make you laugh.

This whacky sword and sandal epic from Italy makes the rounds in low-budget DVD collections (all from the same battered video dub of a 16mm print - Mill Creek's version has color correction). The plot's been described elsewhere, but for this viewer the flick's over-the-top acting and absurd music offered campish fun with a fast pace and some clever if dated takeoffs. Rod Taylor detested this movie, but his acting's fun, slap-stick-ish and done with style. Some plot elements are bizarre (one character using a complex apparatus to light a fire by activating it with a burning torch!!) but work if you remember film's for comedy and don't go into deep analysis mode. Some outdoor shots and dances in this film appear in other Italian Sword and Sandal movies (or possibly it was the other way around). Those wanting politically correct films should put this one back on the shelf and look elsewhere! Otherwise, ignore the politically incorrectness and have fun!

The music score, which ranges from boogie-woogie to a sort of sleazy Vegas romance music, cues you in right away that this is not a movie to be taken seriously. Rod Taylor (as a sort of low-life grifter) and Ed Fury (his muscle-man pal) find themselves prisoners of a tribe of man hungry amazons. Gender bending comedy abounds (male prisoners who've grown accustomed to their fate exchange recipes and complain about not getting their laundry "sparkling", all with swishy mannerisms and camp voices --- very un-PC and funny as hell) along with low-brow slapstick. Viewers tuning in to a movie entitled COLOSSUS AND THE AMAZON QUEEN expecting thoughtful, serious drama will of course be disappointed. Those with more realistic expectations may find this a delight.

What do you want from this. We have an hour and a half of mugging for the camera. The characters are tiresome and inconsistent. They struggle to get a laugh. Seeing Rod Taylor prancing around made me sad. After all, he was in "The Birds" and "The Time Machine," among other films. How did he end up in Italy doing this? The whole plot is convoluted, anything-for-a-laugh material. At one point all the men are using clichéd "woman" talk about their cleaning, cooking, and ironing. They talk in an affected (homosexual stereotype) way. Of course, this is badly dubbed so how can we know. The women are one way, then another, and back again. Are they warriors or are they only interested in one thing. There's even a jousting scene. How's that for your Greek standard battle? Eventually, the rules at this time have the men winning out like we knew they would. But they are a bunch of baboons who have no reason to gain anything. And these marvelous warrior women lose all their culture and their strength for these guys. It's about as bad as it gets.
