Amazons is a 1986 Argentine-American fantasy adventure film directed by Alejandro Sessa and starring Penelope Reed, Danitza Kingsley, Joseph Whipp, Ty Randolph, and Jacques Arndt.
The screenplay was written by Charles R. Saunders, based on his short story "Agbewe’s Sword", which first appeared in the 1979 anthology Amazons! The short story is included as part of the series Dossouye, about the real-life female warriors of the West African Kingdom of Dahomey, gathered together in a novel published by Saunders in 2008.
Saunders and Sessa later collaborated again on Stormquest (1987).
