Esclavas del espacio

Aside from having one of the most schlock-tacular titles ever, SLAVE GIRLS FROM BEYOND INFINITY is a sci-fi take on THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME.

In this rendition, the titular females (Elizabeth Kaitan and Cindy Beal) run around in their bikinis after their spaceship crash-lands on a strange planet. Their host, Zed (Don Scribner) soon shows his more psychopathic side, and the hunt is on.

This movie follows the original story fairly well, and Scribner is perfectly loathsome in his role. To the movie's credit, the women are not portrayed as mere helpless airheads. Since it's played as a rather serious tale, the bikinis are a bit of a mystery.

1980's low-budget cheeeze at its best. Co-stars Brinke Stevens...

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.

This is not a bad movie. It isn't a good one or even a good B-movie, well, B movie isn't the right category, T & A is more appropriate. I mean, when your movie's protagonists are as underdressed as these girls, well I think you get my meaning. But for what it is, it is surprisingly well made. The whole setup of the film is essentially a remake (or adaptation) of A Dangerous Game. Some bikini-clad girls escape from a slave ship and crash land on a mysterious planet only to be hunted by a crazy rich guy. Wow, I can't wait until these guys do Moby Dick. The film is enjoyable, the film I mean, not the breasts. Duoh! I better shut up. Yes, I would recommend this to anyone who falls asleep during a baseball game on tv only to wake up five hours later to have this on.

Titan movie has Elizabeth Cayton and Cindy Beal as slave girls who escape from a prison craft and end up on a strange planet. Fairly fun movie with good creatures from John Carl Buechler's workshop and watchable acting from the leads. It's a shame that Elizabeth Cayton has quit acting (now employed as an office assistant for a radical American political figure) as she is attractive enough and talented enough to make the film work. Good score by Carl Dante for what is a pleasing effort from early Full Moon territory. Not terribly sexy but with plenty of skin on show those not bothered about production values should also find something to enjoy.

Obviously there are worse films than this and probably worse films of this bikini beach babes genre but really..... So what do we have here if we strip away the intergalactic clap trap bookends and the superfluous robots and monster? What we have at heart is, A Dangerous Game, and nothing wrong with that except chasing girls around in the deep dark jungle is not quite as super fun than filming on the beach or the bed. So the film makers were a little torn between the two. Perhaps I should just concentrate on whether the look of the girls being chased, bedded or bathed is worth the effort of sticking with this and as there are plenty of better films doing this, the answer is probably 'No'. I should add that the main guy does his menacing job pretty well and the girls do scrub up pretty well but compared to say, Cannibal Girls or even Beach Babes From Beyond, this one just doesn't cut it and the main reason is the hopeless and inept dialogue.
