Floydoid What an absolute delight this movie is, and another masterpiece by director Just Jaeckin (Emmanuelle, Story of O). Based on a cult comic strip, the movie is well photographed and made in hilarious comic strip style. The story chugs along at a cracking pace with charming performances by the cute female leads (Tawny Kitaen & Zabou), and delightfully over-the-top turns by Brent Huff as the hunky can't-be-arsed hero, and the delicious Bernadette Lafont as the deranged Queen.More female breasts on show here than you can shake a stick at, great sets and locations, superb fight scenes, some comic violence, and a great soundtrack which shifts effortlessly between dreamy romantic music and 1980's disco, all add up to make this an enjoyable watch. The story is complete tosh, but this is superior tosh!
danielemerson This is basically a vehicle for Tawny Kitaen's mammary glands. If you don't get this concept, it ain't for you.The unfeasibly wide-eyed innocent Gwendoline posts herself and her gamine sidekick to Generic Oriental Sleazeville, and engages the services of a rather greasy alpha male (Brent Huff) to find first her missing father. Oh and then she's suddenly looking for a butterfly instead. The plot is easy to follow, as the exposition is delivered as if spoken by lips of purest plywood.Then, after a few clunky adventures with oily villains and cartoon tribesmen, they end up in a secret underground city of bondage Amazons. This is the point at which the nipple count goes through the roof. The Amazons are captivated by Huff's winkie and that's where all the trouble starts. In MST3K terms, it is a very "boobular" movie, as might be expected of the man behind the 'Emanuelle' films. Eurosmut with a dash of hair-metal video. You know... classy. Eighties classy. There are also attempts at knowing humour which clunk painfully across the screen.Kitaen overacts, Huff underacts, but somehow it doesn't balance itself out.In short, dopey right down to the molecular level. But if you're in the mood to laugh at bad cinema, or just grew up perving over Whitesnake videos, it could be right up your street.
ejsawyer Yes, it's dumb, and campy, but if you're in the mood for brainless entertainment, this might fit the bill. It's an example of the schlock-action-boobs niche that actresses like Sybil Danning and Shannon Tweed were well known for in the 80's.The basic plot is an adventure that riffs heavily on the Indiana Jones motif, but it serves mainly to get the women to take their clothes off. Considering that the director was previously involved in "mainstream" porn like "Emmanuelle" (1974), "The Story of O" (1975), and "Lady Chatterley's Lover" (1981), this really shouldn't come as a surprise. This also helps explain the casting choices, as the female roles are filled with actresses who are lovely to see, but otherwise awful at acting.The single best part of this film is a sexy young Tawny Kitaen, prior to her days as the resident "babe" in Whitesnake music videos.
skyhowl this will go down in memory as 1 of my absolute favorite movies of all time. It was sexy,cute and entertaining as hell. The 2 female leads(particularly zabou)were absolutely stunning..zabou is so sexy i could barely stand it! The music was great,the photography was very unique. This movie was just plain fun! Just jackelin is one of the best directors of all time...it's a shame he doesn't make movies anymore.the soft core erotic movies on late night cable are garbage(1 room sets.no story,and huge fake breast)the guys like just and zalman king know how to make truly erotic movies.They just don't make em like this anymore.Great stuff can't wait for some genius to release this on DVD,the sooner the better!
