Supervixens

I dont know why i liked this movie. It have some exaggerate moments but i felt that some womens were not ashame to take initiative and show their bodies and they are not ashame to talk about sex and i felt that this is completely not the same thing in society and i felt that the exaggerate moments pretty unconventionnal and pretty interesting in some ways.

After the brutal murder of his promiscuous wife, Clint (Charles Pitts) is forced to flee a small town… Harry (Charles Napier), a wicked look-alike who committed the killing, had little trouble to put the blame for the murder on Clint…

Clint falls into a number of adventures, getting caught in the act with the mail-order wife of a farmer, having a brief affair with a chesty black mute girl, and finally coming across a diner/gas station run by a lonely but beautiful woman who turns out to be a copy of his former wife… Clint stays on at the diner to help out the woman, and falls in love… The assassin, however, passes through, discovers Clint, kidnaps his new girlfriend, and tries to kill them both…

The women in "Supervixens" are buxom, attractive, and very intelligent, whereas the men are generally sex-crazed, vicious, and uncoordinated... Meyer usually bombards his audience with erotic images—big breasts, strong desire women, and simulated lovemaking—but here he gets carried away with several sadistic scenes that are real turn-offs...

Russ Meyer is a God who succeeds in creating his own utopist universe over and over again. This film is just brilliant, even though the entire prudish and easily offended world will never admit it. Yes, it's a sexfilm… So what if it is? And besides, apart from that it also is a truly ingenious comedy and a cruel satire. After his more pretentious (but equally terrific) portrait `Beyond the Valley of the Dolls', Meyer falls back on the themes and ideas that gained him his first successes. This being the adventures and misfortunes of a young protagonist on the run. Falsely accused of murdering his girlfriend, a handsome man hitchhikes across rural America. Everywhere he goes gorgeous, voluptuous nymphs sexually harass the poor, poor guy (???). Isn't life hell? Charles Napier is excellent as the psycho cop, while the `vixens' are too hot to handle! Every single girl who walks through the screen here looks like a fantasy come true. Supervixens constantly features cheerful music and the screenplay is very funny. Although I can imagine not for all tastes, I personally laughed sick when the Austrian chick starts squealing German while making love! Russ Meyer often reuses stuff that also featured in his earlier movies. Like the snakebite or even the entire climax which is a more explosive update of the `Motor Psycho' ending. Not too original but who cares? He's Russ Meyer so he can do anything he wants! A fellow fan stated in his user comment that you haven't lived until you see Supervixens, and I couldn't have said it better. A must!

Russ Meyer's Supervixens mixes extreme violence with campy humour, which results in a film that can feel a rather awkward at times. Those looking for a gritty, hard-hitting thriller might struggle with the frequent comical sex scenes (accompanied by a breezy soundtrack), and those wanting a frivolous romp loaded with big-breasted women could well be deterred by the occasional spot of gruelling nastiness. One things for sure: it's a one-of-a-kind offering - offbeat and quirky - that fans of cult cinema simply cannot ignore.

Buxom Shari Eubank takes on a dual role in the film: first, as SuperAngel, stunning yet obnoxious girlfriend of easy-going gas station attendant Clint Ramsey; and secondly, as SuperVixen, the lovely rest-stop owner Clint falls for while on the run from the law, having been wrongfully accused of Angel's murder. In reality, the villain of the piece is corrupt psycho cop Harry Sledge (a memorably loathesome performance by Charles Napier), who killed Angel after she mocked him for his inability to perform in the sack. Much of the film follows Clint as he hitches down the highway, meeting various characters along the way, including swinging couple Cal (John Lazar) and SuperCherry (Sharon Kelly), farmer Lute (Stuart Lancaster) and his nympho mail-order bride SuperSoul (Uschi Digard), and SuperEula, the wild daughter of a protective motel owner.

Undoubtedly, the most disturbing scene in the film is the murder of Angel, Harry Sledge kicking down a bathroom door to get to her, pushing her into the bath (which is full), stamping on her, jumping on her, and then electrocuting her. Its cruelty and sadism rivals anything to be found in a video nasty. The film also ends with some brutal violence, Harry abducting Vix (as SuperVixen likes to be called) to use as bait to lure Clint to his doom. Vix ix roughed up by Harry, and Clint is shot and stabbed. In a typically kooky Meyer moment, Harry finally get what is coming to him, blown up in a loony tunes style with his own stick of dynamite. As for the more light-hearted stuff, my favourite part has got to be Clint's crazy day out with sassy black babe Eula, who is one crazy gal, riding topless in a speeding dune buggy, sunbathing naked in the desert, and seeing to the sexual needs of a wandering strongman in the middle of the highway. Phew!

My rating: 7/10 - might've been a touch higher had it been a bit shorter.

Russ Meyer is a truly original American filmmaker of the highest caliber. His films are filled with lightning-speed edits, larger-than-life characters, delicious women, and over-the-top acting. His movies are shining examples of wonderful exploitation. They are by no means 'high-art' and should not be judged as such. Myer masterfully puts his unique vision on the screen in all of his films, and 'SuperVixens' is a shinning example of this...

This film starts off wonderfully, for it is incredibly entertaining and highly humorous (filled with VERY sexy women, large breasts, and lots of violence of course). It maintains a pretty rudimentary story-line, but that was never something that Meyer really pursued. He is more concerned with amusing characters, gorgeous women, and sweet violence, and this movie has plenty of that. Charles Napier gives one of his best performances ever here, as a psychotic, impotent, woman-killing cop. Shari Eubanks is dynamite and a vision to behold...

My only complaint about this film is that it loses a bit of momentum after its blazing beginning. If you are into Russ Meyer you have undoubtedly seen this film- if you haven't, you must! The transfer to DVD is of a very high quality- the sound and picture and crystal clear. If you have never seen any of Meyer's films, this as good a place to start as any...
