    Early example of Harvey Weinstein meddling

    My review was written in December 1981 after a Times Square screening:

    "Spaced Out" is a hybrid film, the result of taking a 1979 British sci-fi sex comedy, "Outer Touch", and increasing the laugh quotient with Americanized low-humor commentary emanating from computer voices. Pic is a diverting trifle suited to the youth trade weaned on Benny Hill and Cheech & Chong gags.

    Nominal plot concerns a trio of beautiful women from the planet circling Betelgeuse who take four Earthlings prisoner. Never having encountered men before, they test the males, with predictable sex comedy ensuing. The fourth prisoner, a prim and proper London girl, gradually succumbs to the advances of her fiance who is spurred on by the advice coming from a stoned jukebox-computerized psychiatrist.

    Much of the film's humor comes from the cultural clash of stock British characters with the drug-culture and gay-oriented jokes penned by comedian Bob Saget and voiced over by him and Jeff Dehart. Norman J. Warren-helmed live action is cheap and silly, with hokey spaceship models, campy set design and costumes plus lots of pastel lighting effects. Cast is quite effective at this vulgar form of sex tease, with the British starlets (particularly the busty pinup Ava Cadell) easy on the eyes.

    SILLY SPACE SPOOF.

    Lynne Ross as Prudence is quite good in this silly mildly erotic fun movie. The rest of the cast is quite good with all the lady's doffing there tops at one point or the other. A couple of site gags latter and we have a enjoyable affable little film.

    Quite tame really

    One of the unexpected sci-fi sex comedies that came out after the success of STAR WARS, SPACED OUT is from British horror director Norman J. Warren and one of his less well known movies, crammed in between his bloodier fare. This one's a low budget odyssey in which a trio of female aliens kidnap four people and subject them to various experiments aboard their spaceship. It's very low fi and only moderately amusing, although the Robin Askwith wannabe is funny enough. Inevitably the emphasis is on attractive starlets stripping off, although as with a lot of these British sex comedies, it's quite tame really.

    Twisted enough to be fun (5 out of 10)

    Three gorgeous female aliens accidentally crash land their spaceship on earth, then try to hide their presence by kidnapping 3 men and a woman whom witnessed the crash, planning to hold them until they can make repairs and leave. But of course this being a comedy/borderline soft core porn the aliens come from a world where there are no men and find themselves totally fascinated by the strange anatomy of their male guests, whom are none too reluctant to demonstrate to them what its all about.

    Yes it's cheap, juvenile and crude, but it has sort of an oddball charm and good nature making it enjoyable, well at least to undemanding numbskulls like myself. There was a lot of lost potential for big laughs but its not without its share of moments, in particular a scene where the aliens are arguing over exactly what the humans in the photos of a porn magazine are doing, and one character's HUGE mistake when choosing a place to sit.

    The cast is likable, in particular Tony Maiden who's funny as the nerd suddenly turned space stud, and Bob Saget whom does the voice of a drugged out jukebox/advice machine, who's only words of advice are more drugs. The female cast is quite attractive and manage to play out their roles with straight faces, with cute but aggressive Kate Ferguson looking like her character should be a member of a British punk rock band. And yes you do eventually get see them all naked, but by today's standards this movie is actually pretty tame.

    5 out of 10, it could have been a lot better but its good for some laughs if you're in the right mood.

    Freeze-dried humor

    The best thing about this was the typical dry delivery Brit humor is famous for.

    A UFO full of sexy female aliens comes to earth to check out male sexuality. They take a medical approach that gradually turns into full fledged desire. The males are your basic cross section. The wannabe Lothario, the geeky student, etc.

    The student had most of the best lines. He saw it all as scientific as well, for a while at least.

    The technical aspects aren't that great though. The print I saw seemed dark and it was obvious they didn't have a lot of area to work with. It looked like they used 2 or 3 rooms in a local studio. Keep dressing it up different and no one will notice right? It was funny. Had some good bits. Call it another late night flick with beer and the gang.

    • Trivia
      Norman J. Warren said he turned the film down originally, because the script wasn't terribly good. It was also going back to the old sexploitation days he'd left behind with his earlier films, which he didn't want to do anymore. However, the producer was very determined and said Warren could change the script if he wanted. So he sat down with the writer and said, rather than try and make a sex film, why don't they make it more of a comedy? So that's what they did. Though it did still feature nudity and sex.
