Beauty of the Babarian
1	“The Kingdom is protected by Dharma, a supposed God made immortal by the flames of the sacred fire. In return for a quarter of their wealth, he protects the villagers of the Kingdom from the marauding ‘Amazons’, a barbaric tribe of women hell bent on destruction and domination.” “The Queen of the Amazons wants revenge for the death of her greatest warrior, and sets out to discover the secret of the sacred fire, and gain immortality from their flames. A bloody battle ensues, man against woman...” Director: Al Bradley Starring: Lincoln Tate, Lucretia Love Made in: 1973
	The film begins when some Amazon warriors discover Zeno and Veronia snogging in the forest. After a perfunctory fight, our hero is tied up and dragged by horses back to the Amazon’s chalk-pit encampment – whilst his erstwhile snogging-partner is pulled along by her hair. Zeno is put to work as a slave digging up chalk; but since Veronia is a women she is given the more lenient punishment of being tied upside-down by a burning rope above a pit of wooden spikes. If she can escape, she is free to go. If not, then... Veronia pays the price of love		It should be mentioned here that the introduction on the back of the video must be interpreted very loosely. For instance, the Queen of the Amazons does not have a ‘greatest warrior’ nor does she ever set out to discover the secret of the sacred fire. In fact, the sacred fire is never even mentioned in the film, and nor for that matter, is Dharma. We can only conclude that they are all metaphors of some kind. But metaphors of what? The film, however, does indeed feature several Amazons. It transpires they are a tribe of militant feminists populated by beefy blonde porn-stars – and the occasional man in drag. Undeterred, Zeno finds a scorpion and stings a guard with it allowing him to escape by running up a hill. As a punishment the guard is forced to undergo the most humiliating ordeal known to the Amazons: being whipped by a man.
