The Interplanetary Surplus Male and the Amazon Women from Outer Space (3 Stars)
The planet Venus is inhabited by a race of females who are only able to have female offspring. Once every hundred years they visit Earth to find a man who can impregnate them. He has to be a perfect specimen with high intelligence, strong muscles and above all else great sexual stamina. After all, he's expected to have sex with thousands of women. They pick a university astronomy professor called Harvey Kirk and take him back to their planet. That's where the fun begins, or at least it should begin. Harvey is caught up in a revolution.
The film stars mostly women, and they're divided into two categories. Most of them are beautiful blondes, but the planet's leaders are played by female body builders.
This is Andrulla Blanchette. I think I'm in love!
Or maybe I prefer Lauren Powers?
But Jayne Trcka is so beautiful as well!
And then there's Valentina Chepiga, who plays Valkyr, the Queen of the Amazons. Luckily for Harvey he doesn't have to choose. He can have them all, but only once each. He has a lot of women to deal with, and it's business, not pleasure.
Harvey has to work hard. He's warned that if he fails to perform he'll be executed and another man will be chosen. It's no good saying he has a headache.
What I like about the film is its alienation technique. Harvey frequently stops and yells at the director, complaining about the poor lines he's been given. The director, off-screen, replies by telling him the lines are good but David (the actor's real name) is a bad actor. In another scene Harvey meets an Amazonian and says, "Aren't you a student in my university?" to which she answers, "No, I'm having to play two roles to cut costs". In yet another scene Harvey yells, "Cut! I'm not doing a scene with this woman. She scares me". The director tells him to shut up or he'll never get a role in another film. This was prophetic. This was David Rabius' first and last film.
What I don't like about the film is that there's no nudity. The whole film is about sex, and we see nothing? That sucks.
The only actor of note in the film is Michael Dorn, who appears as a bartender in a university bar. He must have been short of work between Star Trek episodes.
This isn't a good film, but it's good fun for what it is. Watch it once and have a laugh.
