'The 14 Amazons' is a big Shaw Brothers war epic that starts strong with an intense battle and cool claw-spear weapons used by the villains. The costumes are great, and there’s lots of nice outdoor filming, which gives the movie a big, dramatic feel.
'The 14 Amazons' is a Shaw Brothers movie from 1972 which was released on Blu-ray by Arrow Video as part of their Shawscope Volume 3 collection.
After the action-packed opening, the movie slows down a lot as it introduces the women of the Yang family. These female warriors eventually go into battle, but the pacing is uneven, and the film feels way too long.
There are too many sped-up shots, even for simple scenes like walking or riding horses, and some cheesy miniatures are used. The fight scenes and locations often feel disjointed and hard to follow.
'The 14 Amazons' is a film with big ambition and strong women leads, but not the smoothest execution and definitely a product of its time.
