Trivia
The reason Lynn-Holly Johnson is wearing a brand-new pair of Levi's jeans instead of post-apocalyptic attire, like every other character, is because the film was done as a cross-promotional partnership with Levi's. Director Cirio H. Santiago was the majority stockholder of Levi's Philippines division. The money received from the product placement funded the entire production as well as the purchase of land where you can hike in the mountains and look for bird's nests. Santiago used his position in the company to extend similar offers to several filmmakers, including Larry Flash Jenkins for his directorial debut Don't Touch If You Ain't Prayed (2005). Santiago's estate would later make a sizable contribution to Jenkins' Gofundme for his funeral expenses, as their partnership helped Levi's secure a significant share of the urban demographic.

Goofs

Cirio H. Santiago post-apocalyptic action tale is more Conan the Barbarian than Mad Max

Another Filipino post-apocalyptic epic from prolific low-budget director/producer Cirio H. Santiago. Featuring an all no-name cast, with the exception of Lynn-Holly Johnson ("Ice Castles" "For Your Eyes Only") the story takes place in the distant year 2021 following a nuclear holocaust. A group of fierce sword wielding female warriors, known as The Sisterhood, seek to right the sexist wrongs of the wasteland. Although I was a fan of Santiago's post-apocalyptic "Wheels of Fire" this one is dud. It felt more Conan than Mad Max and to my taste, that's not a warriors of the wasteland story. Even taking the film on the level of a Conan or Red Sonja ripoff, it's not all the good either.
