She (1982)

The credits claim it's based on the same H. Rider Haggard novel as the previous two film adaptations, but it's difficult to tell if that's true or just wishful thinking. What's plain to see is that it's a post-apocalyptic sword and sorcery fantasy film that makes Red Sonja (1985) look like a masterpiece. Although, in She's favour, it's more bat-shit crazy.
She encounters a creature with an exploding head, a group of friendly people in togas, a self-important weirdo with telekinesis, a biker gang (without bikes) that can't seem to decide which swastika to best use as an emblem, and more. It's a bizarre ride that's either bad, good, or both?
