    So where's Dyna-girl?

    Shannon Tweed should really stick to soft-core erotica, because this "superpowered" film isn't that good. The premise alone is icky: Shannon plays Electra, woman trying to seduce her own stepson so she can get her incestuous hands on some type of super-hero formula that was injected into him. Ew! Meanwhile some paraplegic businessman named Mr. Roach (the lamest villain EVER!) wants the formula too. So eventually Roach becomes taken with Electra and HER magical abilities (the superhuman ability of being a slut) and teams up to take down Joe, the stepson and his cute but sensible girlfriend. The sad part is that despite lamely choreographed fights straight out of "The Six Million Dollar Man", obvious special effects, and a tacky subject matter, it's STILL a better film then Superman 4 or Batman & Robin. Barely. So fans of both DTV action films and fans of Shannon Tweed's rack will get some guilty thrills out of this poorly done, yet entertaining fare.

    HORRIBLE...but fun

    Where does one begin in trying to describe this movie? Even as over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek movies go, this is an experience that is particularly hard to describe. First off, this film is not for everybody, as I'm sure many people would have a problem with the major sexual tension between stepmom and son. For those of you who are not offended, prepare for a ridiculous plot, hilariously bad fighting scenes, and some truly abysmal out-takes that were rescued from the chopping room floor for our...um...pleasure. This film is SO bad, in fact, that it's almost worthwhile. If you thought that only Ed Wood could make films so bad that they're funny, then this film proves you wrong. I saw this film alone, and found it to be funny at times. Watch this film with a group of friends, and you'll probably enjoy a laugh riot.

    What a bummer of a film..!

    Electra.. The new movie starring Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed.. I saw this a few years ago.. I must admit, it was one of the most terrible movies I've seen.. My Sister and I watched it.. We were just laughing our heads off throughout the movie..

    In this film, you got this funny looking billionaire Roach (STEN EIRIK) who looks like something out of Dr Who.. looking for a serum which can turn some human into superhuman.. The serum is in a teen kid's body, Billy (JOE TABB).. So Roach send his guys to keep Billy's butt and get the serum from him..

    As it goes on, there were so many flaws in that film.. I really couldn't get the hang of anything on there..

    So, I felt like this is totally gross.. Pure pappy-show! I know for a fact, Ashok Amritraj made produced some really good action films.. But this is one of his worsts..

    Well, in the world of film-making.. There are some good points and there are some bad points.. I'm just looking at the bad..

    It's terrible! Not my cup of tea! Awful! 1 out of 10!

    Bad

    Seriously, someone needs to be taken out and shot for this movie. It's funny, I checked it out, this movie wasn't even shot in Watertown, NY like it said it took place in. The acting is so poor. Shannon Tweed adds to her horrible career in B-Movies. To sum it up, it is about a moral (and cheesy looking) teenager who holds in his blood serum for eternal life. It can only be taken from his body and given to the bad guys through sexual contact. And since the main character is attracted to his widowed step mom, how better for the evil people to get it, than to have mother and son engage in an act of perversion. However, I must say, despite my lack of respect for this movie, that it is a must see because it offers the viewer such unintentional comic relief.

    Roach, the powerful man who owns a company trying to attain world domination is so pathetic. The women commandos, who are supposed to be the warriors of this international corporation, are clad in leather, and instead of driving in limos, the all powerful Roach people ride around in a van with the name of the company painted on it. I'd honestly rather watch flies engage in incest than watch this movie a second time. But, I'm glad I could get some laughs off of it.

    Unintentionally hilarious!

    My housemate and I watched this movie out of sheer lack of anything better to do one day - oh how glad we are that we did! This is quite possibly the funniest film in the "unintentionally so" category. Complete with mid-air cat fights, bizarre "torture" scenes and actors who skillfully skate past the whole incest issue, this film is a must for an evening in with a bunch of friends. Crank your willing suspension of disbelief to the maximum setting and enjoy!
