Scarecrow-88 Julie Strain gets star treatment as a "mistress" over prostitutes, culled from "the underground" to "service" the "elite", those chosen few who are able to live above the not so pleasant confines containing the less fortunate. You see the earth has become afflicted with another Ice Age thanks in part to a meteor, and so those fortunate enough to have all the money and power live above ground in a lavish compound while most are burdened with underground rat-and-filth-infested prisons and grimy corridors.Strain is madam who trains "new recruits", girls lifted from the underground to provide pleasure to those with power, providing them a comfort and refuge from poverty, sickness, and starvation. She is in love with Jeff Wincott(..who plays Spencer), the head honcho of the upper-ground establishment, who is actually much older than he appears, his youth kept vital through "rejuvenation" experiments, thanks to scumbag doctor, Braxton(Bill Baker)who extracts blood from the underground youth. Spencer's twin brother is withering away and dying because he will not take the blood of innocents. Brian Frank is Manson, another "elite" whose soldiers are dwindling in number thanks to arch enemy, Joad(Paul Rapovski), a former "elite" who decided to rebel when he discovered how the rejuvenation process worked, forming a coalition of underground resistant fighters sickened of being governed under such tyrannical rule. Soon Strain will join them after finding Braxton attempting to remove blood from a young girl under her care. Along with the girl(..who, as an adult, narrates the film), Strain will join forces with Joad, hoping to overthrow Manson and Braxton, who have relinquished command of upper-ground from Spencer. Eva Nemeth is Priscilla, Manson's female "muscle", clad in dominatrix outfit, wielding mean knun-chux, and defending him when he calls on her.Being a Corman production(..under his New Concorde label), you can tell that old sets were probably used from other past movies(..also depending on some cheap computer graphics and matte artwork for background work). Strain is often naked(..she certainly rarely keeps her breasts under wraps), either bathing her bare flesh or getting all cozy with Wincott. She also gets to go female warrior on her foes, using martial arts to combat her enemies. Too bad Strain never faces off with Nemeth, who instead engages in a battle with Rapovski's Joad. Rapovski is another who is often engaged in combat with Manson's henchmen, most of the time with little trouble in wiping them out. BattleQueen 2020 seemed to have footage excised so that it could get a R-rating, particularly soft-core sexual situations which are cut short. I was indeed hoping to see more action between Strain and a protégé under her tutelage..

dvgulliver All life outside the compound is supposed to be long gone after the asteroid hit. And yet, the compound is surrounded by old growth trees. Hmmm. I'm thinking... the timber industry should be thriving! Fortunately, there are lots of scenes of women taking long, soapy showers, for no reason whatsoever. So the compound really ain't so bad, I guess...So, um, all people live in this compound. There are ruling classes of immortal men who kill other people and use their body parts for the immortality machine. Or something. I'm really not sure. And then there are a bunch of naked chicks who exist to pleasure the ruling class. Or something. And then there are tunnels filled with poor starving dying people who want to rebel, but can't. Or something. It's hard to tell.Why don't all the people in the tunnels go live in the woods? Oh yeah, the immortal people cruise around on snow mobiles, making sure no one escapes. But with all life lost except for what's in the compound, and the trees, why bother? Why watch this movie at all? Why did I spend $3 to buy a copy? Oh yeah, it was cheaper than renting it. Only now I'm stuck with it.Avoid this movie the way you would avoid eating food served by a sweaty person covered in open sores. Even the nakedness and sex is lame, as the lead "actress" is so fake it's hard to stomach.Blech.

Robin Silver I was expecting this movie to be pretty bad when I rented it, but after watching it, It's actually a pretty decent movie! Be advised, that I'm a "B post-holocost-type-scifi-movie" junkie. What I didn't expect when I rented it, was that this was this movie is ALMOST a porno.All in all, it was a pretty decent movie, not all that bad of one to spend a boring, lonely night watching.

warrior-21 I went in seeing this movie hoping to see some very hot scenes of Julie Strain and all the girls in this movie. My wish if you can say that was not fulfilled, and instead every time something started happening another scene would pop up. I think that there is a unrated version of this movie out there, but I only found an "R" rated version. My vote of a "9" was because of Julie Strain's scenes and some of the other girls. The other reason that I gave it such a high score is because it is almost perfect, with the rest that had either been cut altogether or is in the unrated version would make it a "10". The movie was a very good look at another aspect of Julie, so rent but be forewarned I think it is still lacking enough erotic feel.
