I gave the 1984 SHE a negative review eight years ago, but I'll admit, after a re-screening, that it isn't as unimaginative as most post-apoc films, which, if they have monsters at all, usually keep it down to some stumbling zombie-mutants. SHE does boast--
THE NOOKS, mutants who are totally okay after their arms get sliced off.
GODAN, a psychoknietic mutant who tries to build a cult around his godhood.
A colony of vampires who appear on the surface to be high-society types.
A self-regenerating fellow named Xenon, who can not only rebuild any body part (arm, head) out of nothing, the severed parts also grow into duplicates of Xenon-- though this monster's real threat is that he sounds like Robin Williams on speed.
There's also a mad scientist (assisted by a big bearded guy in a tutu) and a gang of warriors called "Norks," but I consider both of these "villains" rather than "monsters."
