Supervixens
Clint Ramsey has to leave his job working at Martin Bormann's gas station and flee after his wife is murdered by psycho cop Harry Sledge, who tries to pin the murder on Clint. Crossing America, Clint gets sexually harassed on all sides by various voluptuous nymphomaniacs, and it all ends in a literally explosive climax.

To me, this movie is perfection.
best movie i've ever seen.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Supervixens is a trip. There are scenes that I love like Christy Hartburg at the beginning! It's interesting that her image from the film's poster is synonymous not only with the film but RM's entire career, but she is only in the film for less that 10 minutes. A lot of people hate the bathtub scene or think it goes too far but I actually liked it. Alfred Hitchcock liked the scene so much ( and it's nod to the master's Psycho) that he gave Charles Napier a contact at Universal Studios. The film does take a frightening turn and Angel's demise is one right out of a real horror film. I have shown other horror fans this film and they claim that the bathtub scene was the most brutal scene they had ever witnessed. I love Ushci Digard returning to the screen as SuperSoul. There is something so joyous about Uschi, even when she is raping Clint midway through the film. Uschi never seems naked she is always nude, a free spirit. This is not my favorite film by RM simply because it goes on forever and ever. I always get bored at the end. I like the queer overtones of his films but oddly there is no lesbianism in this one... However, Supervixens sometimes feels like a homosexual nightmare. The film centers around a man named Clint who is stalked by the impotent psycho cop Harry, throughout the film Clint is constantly fighting on advances from busty females. When he is raped by Supersoul, he screams, "Let go of my cock!" In the end Harry plans to blow up Clint's girlfriend Supervixen...? Am I the only one who reads into Harry and Clint's screwed up relationship? It may be open to interpretation... Not the worst... but not the best from RM.
Supervixens may not be as good as Faster Pussycat but it has many of the same landmarks. Russ Meyer fills the film to bursting with bust-lines and wacky comedy.The plot is almost nonexistent. A petrol station worker gets in a fight with his obnoxious girlfriend. The police officer who is called to the scene sizes her up and arranges for a later date, then kills her and frames her boyfriend. On the run, the boyfriend finally ends up with a new Super-girlfriend. Then, the police officer shows up and attempts to kill her with dynamite.Can you say crazy? All of the film's busty women have the suffix "Super" added to their names. The petrol station is run by a Nazi. The murdered girlfriend keeps turning up for no reason whatsoever. She's often nude and moaning. Supervixens may not be great art but it is always colourful and entertaining.
This isn't one of those thriller type films filled with mainly sex and nudity scenes, it is a pretty amusing comedy filled with it. It kind of a mix of Carry On and Confessions comedy, but with more sex and nudity and directed by the quite obsessed (with big breasts) director Russ Meyer. I don't know or care if there is a story involving the stupid main guy, but the point of the film I think is that pretty much everywhere this guy goes has a woman either with her clothes off, or wanting to shag him. I think there is some kind of super girl with some powers called Super Vixen, but it's more likely that all girls in the film are Supervixens. Filled with loads of scenes with big breasts, some good arses and plenty of comedy like sex, this is probably better than Carry On or Confessions combined (in terms of nudity). Good!
Russ Meyer, like David Lynch or Alejandro Jodorowsky, creates his own world in his movies and invites you to visit. And while I may not want to LIVE there, I sure do like to visit! You either love Meyer or you don't, it's as simple as that. Most fans seem to regard either Faster Pussycat or Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls as his best movies. I worship them both but my particular favourite is Supervixens. This movie is like no other ever made, with it's surreal mix of buxom babes, humour, violence, car chases and dynamite that has to be seen to be believed! Charles Napier fans note that this is his definitive performance playing psycho cop Harry Sledge, which may or may not be a reprise of his role in Cherry, Harry and Raquel! I dunno. Other Meyer regulars pop up including Haji, Stuart Lancaster and the criminally underseen John Lazar(Z-Man). But the real find here is Shari Eubank in a duel role. She unfortunately only made one other movie after this, Chesty Anderson,USN (with Timothy Carey!). She will always be remembered by lovers of trash cinema everywhere. You haven't lived until you've seen Supervixens!
