L'attaque de la pin-up géante

For a Roger Corman-produced film it was strangely tit(literally)illating. Sexy, involving, acting so bad it was nearly a comedy (Look for the man in a rat suit). If you like it, see the feminist "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" remake with Daryl Hannah as the woman with the giant breasts.

This movie was one of the first that I ever bought on DVD; for some reason I've held on to it, mostly due to its historical value as one of the most disappointing films I have ever watched. The title led me to believe that I would be watching beautiful, naked big-titted women growing to impossible sizes and ruining everyone's s*** for 90 solid minutes. Instead, I get 2 minutes of rampage, and 88 minutes of 60 a 60 foot tall woman moping around in a circus tent, and a bunch of evil guys trying to exploit her. Who do these guys think they are? I want chicks, not smarmy guys. In addition, there's this annoying sub-plot involving a giant rat. Who's idea was that? They could have at least made it a giant cat in order to incorporate some pussy jokes. There are a couple of good boob gags in this one, but on the whole, it is a massively wasted opportunity to exploit women who have been the victims of science. Where's Daryl Hannah when you need her?

The rest, where the majority of the film happens feels unnecessary for the suprisingly romantic plot.

A good use of the Attack of the 50 feet Woman concept. I loved the acting of the blond, and the final fight with the red. Fast-forwarded the rest.

This movie is mostly used as a vehicle to show off buxom women. The story line is so weak it is virtually non-existent. It consists primarily of photo shoots of scantily clad women. There is, however, one redeeming quality with some of the comic dialogue. The statements are so "cliché" and predictable they end up bringing some comic relief to an otherwise stale script. The movie is still young (1995) but it is bad enough to become a "cult" classic in the vein of "Plan 9 from Outer Space" from director Edward W. Wood. If you enjoy nude women and are willing to overlook the major flaws in the script and view it with a tongue in cheek attitude it provides a generally tolerable viewing time. However, do not expect this to be a serious film by any means. I don't think the director had this in mind.

Roger Corman produced, Fred Olen Ray directed, and it stars a trio of centerfolds. One look at the cover and you should know what you're in for. Its stupid, silly, hokey, sexy, and a pretty fun time for fans of late vintage, middlebrow T&A farce. The girls are hot, (two of them immaculate), frequently topless, and the whole affair is very straightforward, Joe Bob Briggs-style, drive-in camp. There is a bit of the forced campy acting that I don't like, but the majority of the time, the cast are taking their roles seriously, (to the best of their abilities, anyway), which adds a level of charm that is often lacking in these kind of movies. The effects are silly, but decent enough to escape unintentional laughability. I wouldn't go so far as calling this movie a gem, but it is above-average for its genre, as far as overall watchability goes. If you used to enjoy "Joe Bob's Drive-in Theater," this movie is a decent throwback. The whole premise is actually strangely hot, don't you think? I mean, she's a whole lot of centerfold up there! 2.5 stars.
