Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (Tubi) 1983 sci-fi movie
starring Peter Strauss as a bounty hunter who travels to a hostile
planet run by Michael Ironside to save three women from Earth who crash
landed there.  Strauss teams up with a young Molly Ringwald and Ernie
Hudson so save the day.  I haven't watched this since the 80s.  I was
shocked by how much of it came back to me as I watched, and how
surprisingly watchable it turned out to be.  I watched "Cherry 2000" on
Friday and the two movies have very similar plot lines of man being
guided through wasteland by woman or in this case a teenage girl.

OK, I've never even heard of this movie, and knowing it's on Tubi may
get me to watch it!

The other thing there was a lot of in the 1980s was low-budge[t] sword
and sorcery flicks - there was one I saw on TV back in the early 80s
while I was babysitting that I still have never tracked down!

 Well, give us some clues

I literally can't. I do not remember who was in it (it was likely nobody well-known). It had really low budget EFX (things like turning the screen green-tinted to show magic), and may have been a TV movie. I think there might have been a magic bow involved?... I literally have no other info, and what I just told you about the magic bow may be wrong.
The year would have been likely c.1983-1984.
