Bad Girls from Mars

Directed by Fred Ray... he had been directing for about ten years by now, and it was still pretty silly. Quite the soft core porn. Mucho boobs. and dirty talking about body parts. definitely not for the young uns! This one wants to have more plot, so follow along, and watch the boobs, i mean the story. boobs and more boobs. Beverly hills and cadillacs. and more boobs. the plot is pretty bad. old wine? an old cadillac ? Also, more boobies. and a cross that people keep getting tied to. Skip this one... pretty lame. Showing on epix drive in channel.

On my quest to see everything famed B movie actress Brinke Stevens has been in, I bought a copy of Bad Girls From Mars.

Bad Girls stars Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls' Edy Williams and Jay Richardson from multiple other Brinke Stevens films.

Starting off on the set of a movie (a campy b movie about beautiful female aliens trying to take over the earth) it looks good. The first scene seems so funny that I thought I was in for a treat.

Unfortunately that was it as the director of the movie shouts out 'CUT' and the movie stars revolving around the cast and crew that are making this film.

The movie turns into a serial killer movie about the lead actresses. All of them seem to be getting murdered. Enter in Edy Williams as the new actress.

Some mild who dunnit, lots of Edy Williams disrobing and that's about it for this movie.

It's to cheesy and I like cheesy but this movie went to far

For some reason, as I was perusing different bad sci-fi and fantasy movies, this would pop up occasionally, so I put it on my list of "must haves". I don't usually look up reviews or synopsis' of movies before buying them just because it kind of spoils the fun, but I would have made an exception for this one. I was expecting some 'raunchy' T&A sci-fi spoof as it IS called 'Bad Girls From Mars' and the tagline being "and you thought Earth girls were easy..." (honestly expecting some kind of 'Earth Girls Are Easy' spoof). What I ended up with was so far from what I expected that I'm not sure why I kept watching it... ok, I know at least a couple of reasons... well, more than just a couple. I mean, you can't miss them because they're in nearly every shot!

They certainly deliver on the T&A, buuut that's about it. The movie is a spoof, but of slasher flicks and it's done very poorly. Then again, you're not watching it for the plot, right? There is absolutely zero acting talent. The only one that I actually found even remotely entertaining was the detective, aside from that, it was like watching a bunch of sentient boards that just escaped the lumber yard. This probably would have worked better as a porn like it's trying to emulate rather than being a softcore "late night Cinemax" movie.

Oh well, it was ok to watch, but isn't memorable in any way.

I've enjoyed all of the other Fred Olen Ray movies I've seen - Cyclone and Warlords, for instance, are underrated classics of lowbrow fare, and even Scalps has its redeeming qualities - but Bad Girls from Mars is guilty of the worst possible charge that can be leveled against an exploitation flick: it's boring.

The self-deprecating script is bland, and everything is conducted with such self-conscious camp that no sense of reality or genuine interest is ever generated. Drab synthesized music, lame one-liners, and pointless Ed Wood references don't help matters. Brinke Stevens is underutilized, and the rest of the cast is uncharismatic, the repeatedly bared bosom of Edy Williams notwithstanding.

Only die-hard fans of Stevens or Ray, or anyone easily impressed by breasts or broad, lazy comedy, need bother with Bad Girls from Mars. The title is as funny as anything in the movie.
