prehistoric women (1967)

aka Slave Girls.
"You are my slaves!"
David Marchand (Michael Lattimer), is on safari in Africa when he is captured by a tribe intent on sacrificing him to their god. However before they can do so he is catapulted back in time and finds a land where brunette women rule, using blondes as their slaves. Fortunately for him Queen Kari (Martine Beswick) takes a shine to him, but he rejects her for a blond slave, Saria (Edina Ronay). This doesn't go down well with the queen and leads to the inevitable cat fight. meanwhile can David end the evil reign of the Queen, and also find his way back to his own time?
A bizarre mix of sci-fi and prehistoric adventure that tries to re-capture the success of One Million Years BC. Unfortunatly neither Beswick or Ronay are a match for Raquel Welsh, and this remake of an earlier 1950's film proved to be a dud. But taken as a precursor to the Doug McClure featuring Amicus productions, such as The Land That Time Forgot, it makes much more sense. An entertaining enough boys own romp, as long as you ignore the plot holes in the lackluster script.
