Born in a tribe of fierce warrior women Hundra (Laurene Landon; Airplane II Armed Response Maniac Cop Wicked Stepmother) has been raised to despise the influence of men. An archer fighter and sword fighter Hundra is superior to any male. Hundra finds her family slain and takes a vow of revenge until one day she meets her match.Often referred to as the "Female Conan" this rip-roaring sword and sorcery piece with erotic overtones gallops along to a thunderous score by Ennio Morricone. Hundra as played with tongue firmly in cheek by Laurene Landon is a fun ride through the magical world inhabited by Conan Red Sonja and many other sword wielders of their ilk.Extras:Full-length commentary track with director Matt Cimber and star Laurene LandonMaking-Of featuretteCast and crew biosBONUS SOUNDTRACK CD with Ennio Morricone's original scoreFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE UPC: 858964001225 Manufacturer No: 17

Summary: Thunda in the Tundra with Hundra
Comment: Hundra has great locations and production value (leftovers from the previous year's Conan the Barbarian), plus a score by Ennio Morricone. The story, the acting, and (most unfortunately) the action are less than stellar. It's essentially a women's lib Barbarian epic. Hundra is a woman without a people -- her Amazonian tribe gets wiped out in a scene swiped from Conan -- so she goes on a quest to find a man. That's right, she'll repopulate her people one female baby at a time. Along the way, she learns that most men are pigs, but occasionally they can be sensitive and good-hearted... how sweet. After picking up make-up tips from a slave/priestess, she returns the favor by passing on some fight moves. Really, though, Hundra's fight scenes lack punch. There's no technique to the brawling, and this lack of precision ultimately hurts the film. The new Subversive Cinema DVD has a documentary, "Hunting Hundra," a commentary, a new comic book (!), and a bonus soundtrack disc. The operatic music is Morricone's repurposing of works by Verde, and it suits the swordplay genre perfectly.

Summary: Hundra, the ancestor of "Red Sonia"
Comment: This film, with a slaugther of warrior women at the beginning and an other (smallest) at the end, can be comparate to the scenario of 1985 "red Sonia" with Birgit Nielssen in place of Laureen Landon. An other comparative point: the awfully hyper noisy music in "under-ride of the Walkyries" manner by Ennio Morricone !!!

Summary: HOT HUNDRA!
Comment: This feminist version of Conan the Barbarian from the 80s got lost in the shuffle when the director, who had a distribution agreement with Universal, went behind the studio's back to see if he could get a better deal. He should have just taken Big U's deal so people could get to see this cool movie. Laurene Landon is hot as the title character out to avenge the pillaging of her tribe. Does her own stunts and swordplay. Landon is a terribly overlooked action actress. Maybe this dvd release of one of her best films will give audiences a chance to see her shine. What we need now is a dvd release of her follow-up, the serial tribute Yellowhair and the Fortress of Gold. Here's to a Laurene Landon revival!
