Supervixens

Part of the fun of watching a Russ Meyer movie is sitting in mind-boggling disbelief at just how sexist & deranged it is, then going with the flow as you escape into his voluptuous pre-silicone dreamworld. Misogyny isn't really the word, as you can imagine the old sleazeball worshipping these women & doing anything for them while he's filming them bouncing around.

Supervixens, however, is just plain nasty, due to the one scene in which Super-Angel (the running joke is that all the women have the Super- prefix to their names) is kicked to death & electrocuted in a bathtub by Charles Napier's impotent cop. Not funny. Doesn't help that Super-Angel's character is set up as being somehow deserving of it.

No, not funny at all, even if you're used to the Russ Meyer school of sensitivity. It belongs in a 1980's splatter film, & leaves a nasty taste in the mouth for the rest of the film, which is pretty ordinary until Charles Napier turns up again & torments Super-Angel's later re-incarnation, Supervixen, in a way that would be amusing if you could only forget his earlier scene.

See Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls instead.

The obvious intent of Russ Meyer to put as many attractive amply endowed women on display certainly proves successful in "Super Vixens." The film is essentially a road movie, with the hero encountering different vixens along the way. What a lucky guy Charles Pitts character is, being constantly pursued by beautiful women. His nemesis is Charles Napier who plays a sadist cop. There is a final confrontation atop a desert bluff, which plays like a Wylie Coyote cartoon. The film is very uneven, switching from Napier's brutal beatings of women, to "beep beep" situations. The eye candy meter is off the charts however with Shari Eubank, Christy Hamburg, Uschi Digard, and Haji, so the movie succeeds quite nicely despite the thin script. - MERK

Without a doubt, the first 10 minutes of Supervixens is one of the best pieces of comic film editing I've ever seen. If there's anyone who's interested in figuring out how to quick cut images with dialogue in order to create a comic effect, watch this. Most of Meyer's movies are pretty bad, but there are three that are great and this is one of them. Meyer creates a surreal American landscape, where people are all endowed with unreal sex parts, all the woman bare the title "super", and ex-nazi's are gas station owners. The movie is filled with in-your-face phallic symbols and the scene with Super Angel and the cop is absolutely hysterical. Can't wait until this is on DVD.

Boobs galore in Russ Meyers's "Super Vixens", including quite a lot of misogynistic violence, a horsely hung Charles Napier playing a psycho cop, some utterly demented humor and maybe even some extremely weird and incomprehensible supernatural goings-on with that Witch of the Phallus Mountain there. No need to mention the luscious women portraying their goods & having sex in this film, right? I have no idea, but Russ Meyers had more than one bolt loose, if you ask me. I enjoyed this one immensely. First time viewing & the very first movie I watched in 2007 after the New Year celebrations. Deserves 9/10 for crazy boob-a-licious fun, but I'm going to give it 6/10 as an, ehr, over-all accomplishment. Fair enough?

I dont know why i liked this movie. It have some exaggerate moments but i felt that some womens were not ashame to take initiative and show their bodies and they are not ashame to talk about sex and i felt that this is completely not the same thing in society and i felt that the exaggerate moments pretty unconventionnal and pretty interesting in some ways.
