Prehistoric Women
Wikipedia offers this summary of the 1950 film Prehistoric Women:
Prehistoric Women is a 1950 science fiction adventure film, written and directed by Gregg C. Tallas and starring Laurette Luez and Allan Nixon... Tigri (Luez) and her stone age friends, all of which are women, hate all men. However, she and her Amazon tribe see men as a "necessary evil" and capture them for potential husbands. Engor (Nixon), who is smarter than the rest of the men, is able to escape them. He discovers fire and battles enormous beasts. After he is recaptured by the women, he discovers fire and drives off a dragon-like creature. The women are impressed with him, including their prehistoric queen. Engor marries Tigri and they begin a new, more civilized, tribe.
It seems like the kind of movie that might be so bad it's good. But PopMatters warns that, though you might hope it would have some cheeseball value, it's "actually not very good." If you watch the clip below of the catfight scene, you'll probably have seen the highlight of the movie.
Comments
If you want the "so bad it's good" version, try "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094834/ ) with Bill Maher, Shannon Tweed, Karen Mistral and Adrienne Barbeau.

The hair looks mighty good for cave women too.
