Supervixens

Rating:
Summary: Not So Super
Review: For years, Meyer's movies were only available on VHS for obscenely high prices. When this movie finally came out on DVD, I couldn't wait to see it again. Russ Meyer wrote, directed, produced and edited this film, so it includes all of his strengths and weaknesses. All of the women have very large breasts, but the sex scenes are fleeting and not very erotic. The dialogue is corny, and all of the characters are caricatures. Most disturbing of all, the violence is not only excessive and over the top, it comprises most of the movie.

Shari Eubank is fine as the demanding SuperAngel, who rises from the ashes of her fiery demise to become SuperVixen, the gorgeous gal with a heart of gold. Charles Napier is great as he chews cigars and chews scenery, playing the macho officer Harry Sledge. He went on to bigger and better things, appearing in many mainstream movies, such as "The Blues Brothers" and "Rambo." Charles Pitts is too bland to be convincing as Clint Ramsey, the stud every super-stacked woman is dying to have sex with. Christy Hartburg, who had a cameo as SuperLorna and is featured on the cover of the DVD, never appeared in another movie! "Supervixens" has not aged very well, and is more interesting as a curiosity than as a cult classic.
