Quick Answer

What is The Lustful Amazons about?

The Lustful Amazons is a 1974 French adventure film directed by Jesús Franco about Maciste, who is enlisted to steal the Amazons' treasure and finds himself caught between the affections, rivalries, and schemes of a fierce Amazonian queen and her tribe.

The SassyFlix Take

Jesús Franco lets the loincloths and libidos fly in this pulpy romp through the jungle, where Maciste’s muscles are matched only by the Amazons’ appetites. Expect nudity, betrayal, and a queen whose jealousy burns hotter than the midday sun. Not your average sword-and-sandal saga—this one’s been soaking in exploitation.

From the Vault

Not all musclebound heroes get to be king—and fewer still get sentenced to impregnate an entire tribe.

Synopsis

Pindar, who escaped from the Amazon with Ela's help, asks Maciste for help stealing the Amazons' treasure. Maciste agrees out of a sense of adventure rather than greed. Upon their arrival in the Amazon, they are captured. Maciste is sentenced to impregnate the Amazons, while Pindar and Ela are imprisoned. Queen Arminda falls in love with Maciste, arousing the jealousy of her favorite, Yuka. Yuka plots to make the queen believe Maciste is carrying a venereal disease, but it fails. Out of frustration, Yuka frees Ela and Pindar and helps them steal the treasure, hidden in a werewolf's lair. Maciste intervenes but is unable to save his companions' lives. Embittered, he leaves the Amazon kingdom alone.
