What is it about post-apocalyptic movies that let film-makers go way beyond the bounds of decency and common-sense? Case in point: She-Wolves of the Wasteland, a film in which all the men are dead, and all the women are insane.

She-Wolves of the Wasteland, also released on VHS as Phoenix the Warrior, has a fine cast of brilliant actors who bring a lot of gusto to the action-movie stuff. Just witness the scene above, where we first meet Phoenix. She's come here to eat an apple and kick ass — and she manages to do both, sort of.

Check out a few more clips, including a couple of NSFW scenes featuring some truly bizarre Amazons, below.

In She-Wolves of the Wasteland, bacterial warfare has wiped out all the men, and now the world is ruled by the evil Reverend Mother, who has some ill-defined plans to create a new human race via genetic engineering. But a lone woman, Keela, has managed to get impregnated with a healthy boy fetus, and is on the run from the Reverend Mother — when she meets up with Phoenix, a bad-ass "sand trapper" who fights for justice and stuff.

Check out some more amazing scenes — and watch for Star Trek's Persis Khambatta as Cobalt, the Reverend Mother's main enforcer.
