Highly Overrated But Still Good

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

*Spoiler/plot- 1987, Escaped space slave girls are on the run. They crash land on another mystery planet. The slave girls are rescued & helped by a local native, named Zed. The girls see that people mysteriously disappear from Zed's home The girls want to find out why. Zed turns his guests loose in his jungle preserve to hunt them. Armed with primitive bladed hand weapons, these slaves battle across the jungle area. They are trying to find a hidden arms cache to save themselves. Zed finds, catches and kills our space slave girls. *Special Stars- Elizabeth Cayton as the lead role. Don Scribner plays the baddie, Zed. *Theme- Be careful of who you accept rooms from in space. *Based on- 'The Most Dangerous Game'. *Trivia/location/goofs- See why this film was condemned for it's content in many government circles. *Emotion- Slave girls being chased...yawn. Not this again...Depressing film ending all around.

It is difficult to understand how some criticize a movie because its title doesn't make sense (like most science fiction titles?), or because the acting was poor (look at the box and read the credits before buying). The title of "Slave Girls" should give you a hint that this is not to be taken seriously, but for what it was meant to be: a, hopefully, entertaining ninety minutes, or so, where you can enjoy beautiful women in and out of bikinis. Once again, if you are hoping for great cinema I suggest reading the box, or at least look at the picture before you rent this.With that said, is it entertaining? I found this to be an enjoyable variation on the classic short story, "The Most Dangerous Game." It has humor, doesn't take itself seriously, and is certainly easy on the eyes.....and brain. No thinking is required for this move. Just enjoy it for what it is.

The movie is not a bad movie, but one you watch when there is not much else on. I found the plot boring, and not very well done. The acting was stilted. The people who starred in the movie did well, considering the plot. My favorite part of the movie, besides Brinke Stevens, was the robots. They were original and very funny.Watching Brinke Stevens walking along the beach was the first time I met her on video. The scene, and Brinke, was beautiful.

The movie starts out with the two girls, wearing leather bikinis, aboard a prison ship and being held in a cell lit only by a barred hole in the ceiling. Elizabeth Kaitan's character is determined to break their chains and dash for freedom, and convinces Cindy Beal's character to assist her. She does, they do, and they steal a small spacecraft to effect their escape into space whereupon they crash on a small planet.Kaitan swims to shore but doesn't see her compatriot. Still dazed by the crash, she stumbles through the jungle and finds a small castle inhabited by Don Scribner and his robot guards. He invites her in, shows her a room and gives her some clothing and she is reunited with Beal. At dinner, the two girls are introduced to a character played by Brinke Stevens and the character's brother. Dinner-time chat turns to hunting and it is revealed that Scribner's character lives for the thrill of the hunt.Brinke and the brother were passengers on a ship that landed on the planet. The pilot, navigator, and crew have all disappeared since they came to Scribner's mansion. If you've read "The Most Dangerous Game" this should sound familiar. Sure enough, Scribner has a habit of kidnapping his guests, giving them only a single weapon, and turning them loose into the woods. If they can survive and avoid capture until the following morning, Scribner will let them live.AFter the dinner, Scribner kidnaps Brinke and ties her to a wall in the dungeon wearing only her bedtime lingerie (which is quite attactive). I have to give credit to Brinke for this scene - it looks like she is actually TIED to the wall with her hands abover her head. Many times the actresses will cop out and have loose-fitting handcuffs. After a short dialogue, Scribner rips off Brinke's top (just a brief scene) and begins to kiss her as the camera fades to black. Next we see the brother, Kaitan, and Beal plotting their escape from the planet. The brother and Kaitan scale down a wall and go into the woods to set traps to capture Scribner on his next hunt. Meanwhile, Beal is tasked with keeping Scribner from discovering that they've gone.The next scene is Brinke, nude, on a table, held down by one of the mechanical robots, while Scribner stands over her. Scribner probably got an eyeful, but since its a profile shot we just see a bare hip, a bare breast, and a lot of squirming (which is very well done). Brinke has a great body - too bad we didn't see more of it.There's a soft-porn scene a bit later when Kaitan throws the brother into the bed to "play act like we're having sex" to explain why the brother isn't in his bed when a robot enters the room. A good scene, played for laughs at the end.Fast forward a bit - the brother is kidnapped, sent on a hunt, killed, and the girls are then kidnapped. We get treated to a scene with Kaitan, Beal, and now Brinke all wearing leather bikinis and chained to a pillar in the dungeon. I wish a) that the camera hadn't cut between Scribner and the girls so much and b) that the girls had been nude. After all, if Scribner had just had his way with Brinke, why would he want to go to the trouble to dress her? Still, of the three girls, Brinke does the most squirming (and quite a good job of it too).In the end, the girls are released into the jungle. Brinke gets killed (unfortunately) but the other two managed to bump off Scribner. Overall, for a low budget "B" movie the acting is not half bad, the girls are all lovely, the special effects are adequate, and the plot is good. Worth a look. It made me a Brinke Stevens fan. If only she would team with Lana Clarkson and do a "Barbarian Queen III" film, I'd be in "B" movie heaven.
