The Sisterhood (1988 88 minutes)

In the year 2021, after the nuclear holocaust, some women who have strange powers (like being able to shoot laser beams from your eyes and esp with animals) band together to form The Sisterhood. Many of them were captured at the Battle of 12 trees but two still roam the wasteland looking for a way to free the others. Meanwhile, a leader of some raiders gives a heartfelt speech about finding parts for his great War Wagon ( "Kill, pillage, rape...do whatever feels good....but whatever you do, do not come back without those parts I need!") before attacking the small village where the woman who played the blind girl in Ice Castles lives. The raiders  kill her brother which makes her mad so she ends up with The Sisterhood (because she has secret powers too). At one point they get chased by some mutants into the  Forbidden Zone and end up finding a cave with a vault in it just like in the Fallout games. It's all full of weapons and even an armored vehicle with rocket launchers + they even have instructions on how to use them. Say your prayers, stupid  raiders with your beards and your sexist war mongering ways. This plays out like a Society For Creative Anochronisms wet dream future come true -  one where you run around with swords and armor made out of a hubcap and speak in quasi medieval slang but at the same time you are still allowed modern conveniences like bubble baths, jukeboxes, cut off jean shorts and Valley Girl - isms like 'Chow Down!'. Don't forget to meet at Dynamite Willies.
