Esclavas de otra galaxia

It is difficult to understand how some criticize a movie because its title doesn't make sense (like most science fiction titles?), or because the acting was poor (look at the box and read the credits before buying). The title of "Slave Girls" should give you a hint that this is not to be taken seriously, but for what it was meant to be: a, hopefully, entertaining ninety minutes, or so, where you can enjoy beautiful women in and out of bikinis. Once again, if you are hoping for great cinema I suggest reading the box, or at least look at the picture before you rent this.

With that said, is it entertaining? I found this to be an enjoyable variation on the classic short story, "The Most Dangerous Game." It has humor, doesn't take itself seriously, and is certainly easy on the eyes.....and brain. No thinking is required for this move. Just enjoy it for what it is.

This is not a bad movie. It isn't a good one or even a good B-movie, well, B movie isn't the right category, T & A is more appropriate. I mean, when your movie's protagonists are as underdressed as these girls, well I think you get my meaning. But for what it is, it is surprisingly well made. The whole setup of the film is essentially a remake (or adaptation) of A Dangerous Game. Some bikini-clad girls escape from a slave ship and crash land on a mysterious planet only to be hunted by a crazy rich guy. Wow, I can't wait until these guys do Moby Dick. The film is enjoyable, the film I mean, not the breasts. Duoh! I better shut up. Yes, I would recommend this to anyone who falls asleep during a baseball game on tv only to wake up five hours later to have this on.

Obviously there are worse films than this and probably worse films of this bikini beach babes genre but really..... So what do we have here if we strip away the intergalactic clap trap bookends and the superfluous robots and monster? What we have at heart is, A Dangerous Game, and nothing wrong with that except chasing girls around in the deep dark jungle is not quite as super fun than filming on the beach or the bed. So the film makers were a little torn between the two. Perhaps I should just concentrate on whether the look of the girls being chased, bedded or bathed is worth the effort of sticking with this and as there are plenty of better films doing this, the answer is probably 'No'. I should add that the main guy does his menacing job pretty well and the girls do scrub up pretty well but compared to say, Cannibal Girls or even Beach Babes From Beyond, this one just doesn't cut it and the main reason is the hopeless and inept dialogue.

Two attractive women named "Daria" (Elizabeth Kaitan) and "Tisa" (Cindy Beal) have been captured on their home worlds and are being sent by a prison spaceship to another planet as slaves. They manage to escape from their chains and steal a small escape craft which then crash-lands on an island of a nearby planet. Traveling through the jungle they come upon a castle which is ruled by a man named "Zed" (Don Scribner) who eagerly extends his hospitality. Also there are two other survivors from an earlier spaceship crash named "Shala" (Brinke Stevens) and her brother, "Rik" (Carl Horner). While Zed appears to be friendly they soon discover that his passion is hunting and they are to be the hunted. Now, obviously with a title like "Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity" a person shouldn't expect this to be a first-rate movie. And it clearly wasn't by any means due in large part to the extremely bad dialogue. Likewise, the acting wasn't that good but both Elizabeth Kaitan and Cindy Beal made up for it with their alluring attire throughout the movie. I certainly had no complaints. Even so, there was definitely room for improvement overall and if the director (Ken Dixon) had a larger budget and better writers this would certainly have been much better. As it is though, I have to rate it as slightly below average.

Two women in loin-clothed bikinis (Elizabeth Kaitan, Cindy Beal) escape from a prison ship only to crash land on an uncharted planet inhabited by a hunter (Don Scribner) who likes to kill humans as a sport. The only way for them to survive is to participate in this brutal "Dangerous Game"-like sport. Will they make it out alive?

Silly outing may not have the best acting or writing, but the cheesy special effects and comic relief by bickering robots saves this one. If you're in need of a good laugh, round up some beer and friends because it helps if you're drunk in order to enjoy this romp. My evaluation: ** out of ****.
