Description: In a backward post-apocalyptic world, She aids two brothers’ quest to rescue their kidnapped sister. Along the way, they battle orgiastic werewolves, a psychic communist, a tutu-wearing giant, a mad scientist, and gladiators before standing against the odds to defeat the evil Norks.
This is one film that truly fits the WipFilms ethos! Yes, its bad, its downright awful, cheesy, its often non-sensical in a WTF kind of way! It has a terrible 80’s score by former prog rocker Rick Wakeman (and a slew of inept early 80s songs) Its a sub-genre rip-off classic. Shot in Italy with a mainly Italian crew – many veterans of Italo exploitation cinema and its got the sort of sexy– but not quite sexy Sandahl Bergman (fresh from her small role in Conan The Barbarian) in the lead role as the goddess warrior woman of the post apocalyptic future.
Review: “This is an extremely weird movie, regardless of genre including Italian B movies. It is the oddest movie I have ever seen. See there’s this woman, called She, and she is a goddess. And she has to go through these other worlds with their own various Gods and Goddesses. Among the creatures she meets are a group of men who look like potatoes, the semi-Nazi God Nork, and a 300 pound man in a candy pink tutu. This is definitely fun to mock with friends. I have no idea what it was trying to be, but it is god awful good.”
After seeing this I read the novel by Haggard, in an attempt to make sense of what I had seen. I thought I had gotten the wrong book, but no the She I read is cited in the movie credits. The only similarity between the two is that both do indeed have main characters named She

As you say in your synopsis of the movie, this is more post-apocalyptic than of the Sword and Sorcery Gender. Still intersting to watch

Wants to be “Deathstalker” but falls well short. Does have a nice whipping scene, though.

“She” by the way, is a classic character created by H. Rider Haggard in the late 1800s. “She” is short for “She who must be obeyed”, an (duh) absolute monarch.
This, other than the title and “sort of” the character, has little to do with that story.
