Gold of the Amazon Women (1979)
Quirky Memories
Only ever watched this film once in the early 80's. At the time when video hiring was becoming main stream. My friends and I used to hire several films at the weekend and watch them after a night out. Gradually, we would exhaust all the better known films and would venture into unknown territory - like this film.
Because we had never heard of various films, we would often go off the cover...and who was in it. The cover looked great - exciting with scantily clad women and, of course, it had Donald Pleasance in it - so it couldn't be that bad!
There are two elements of the film that remain with me...
1. In one scene, Donald Pleasance had a revolver...which fired 15 bullets!
2. Bear in mind we were all the 'worse for wear', a friend, Mark Stott, saw that one of the characters entered a club called 'The Disco Lovers Club'. Unfortunately, due to the power of video and the ability to rewind, we saw that the sign actually read 'The Discoveries Club'. Such a pity the sign didn't read what we first thought!
