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.

A C-grade murder-horror that is largely predictable and unoriginal. Production values are quite low and performances are so-so. However, it does have some funny moments and the tone of the movie is quite light, never taking itself seriously, making it not entirely unwatchable.

I was forced to watch this while recovering from a leg injury. The remote fell out under the bed and I couldn't change the channel for almost an hour. Heavy on the "T" in T&A. Light on the acting and plot. This is billed as a spoof. However it's not done well enough to be a spoof. All in all don't waste your time.

Spoofs of films only work a small percentage of the time. Very often the spoof is too much like the film it is trying to spoof. "Mars Attacks" is a good example of this problem. "Bad Girls from Mars" is a low budget spoof of the making of a low-budget campy film, and surprisingly it works.

Everything is hokey, but it is all making fun of the genre. It is sprinkled with some dialog gems. Academy award material it ain't, but if you put yourself in the right mood, it is a lot of fun

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.
