Best about that rather rare movie: Tawny Kitaen when she looked best.
From a promising start the film goes rapidly down to cheap and utter stupidity. They tried to put the Barbarella-femdom-look in but sadly that cannot help this film.
For a one-time kinky and strange film-experience.

A large amount of toplessness and thong-wearing from one of the true beauties of American film, Tawny Kitaen, along with extended wetness, some weird semi-bondage gear, dueling, and a hint of torture, if your tastes run along any of those lines, make this interesting. Her sidekick, small-breasted Zabou (Breitman) with an awful hairstyle, is similarly scantily clad for part of the film.
When I heard that the director of “Emmanuelle” and “The Story of O,” Just Jaeckin, was adapting a bondage-themed comic for the screen, I was somewhat optimistic, though earlier adult-comic adaptations (“Modesty Blaise,” “Tiffany Jones,” “Barbarella”) had not been good. Then came news of censorship struggles and … a disappointingly tame movie.
Still, part of an interesting though deeply flawed set of movies that attempted to adapt fantasies to the big screen from the late sixties through the eighties that mostly failed through a seeming lack of imagination and evident fear of the censors. The Tanya Roberts “Sheena” movie from 1984 was in some ways most like this: dumb but partly redeemed by the lead being truly talented at being naked.
