WordOfGod is that the movie was written to give a starring role to Creator/LanaClarkson, who had proven quite popular and impressed Roger Corman himself in a minor role as the [[ActionGirl woman warrior]] Kaira in the original ''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Deathstalker Deathstalker]]''. Given the timing of the film's release, it seems likely that it was also meant to capitalize on that summer's release of the 1985 ''Film/RedSonja'' movie.

The R-rated cut eliminates all the shots below the waste depicting this, causing it to look like Amethea is [[GroinAttack crushing the torturer's penis]] with her [[SuperSexOrgans super-strong vagina]].

Joined by her [[FauxActionGirl handmaiden]] Estrild and [[ActionGirl fellow warrior]] Tiniara, Amethea sets off on a quest to rescue her people and avenge the destruction of their home. Along the way to Arrakur's city, they attack an outpost where they discover a seemingly traumatized Taramis. Once in the city, they meet up with [[LaResistance a rag-tag group of rebels]], agreeing to help them as best they can.
