Hitchcoc I have puzzled over something for much of my life: What exactly is it that makes Zsa Zsa Gabor famous? At least sister Eva had a fun time on Green Acres. I guess it's because she married rich men. This movie, in my opinion, is the best of her career--and that ain't saying much. There is trouble in outer space with a group of women dominating a planet and tricking men into coming to the planet. How they didn't die off long ago is a mystery. Why they are all basically the same age is also interesting. Anyway, there's a monkey wrench in the machinery that pushes the envelope. Don't stop me. I'm on a role of clichés. Anyway, some men go to the planet and cause trouble and forces must stop them. Watching the elder Gabor try to act is quite hilarious. Unfortunately, this is not a parody, because parody requires intelligence and careful planning. Just awful!
capone666 Queen of Outer SpaceThe upside to a planet without men is no weightless toenail clippings floating about.Thankfully, the gravity on the planet in this sci-fi film is similar to Earth.When they crash-land on Venus, Capt. Patterson (Eric Fleming) and his crew are shocked to learn they're marooned on an all-female planet ruled by a masked matriarch. It's not long until the captain and his men learn of one of the queen's advisor's (Zsa Zsa Gabor) plan to overthrow her reign of misandry.In doing so, they uncover the terrible deeds that lead to man's banishment from Venus, and of the man-made atrocity that marred the monstrous monarch.A B-Movie through-and-through, Queen of Outer Space is not only a cautionary tale about mankind's warmongering, but also a progressive piece of feminist fiction that unfortunately succumbs to the sexism of 1958.Incidentally, banished Venusian males went on to colonize the first gay-friendly planet.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
dsewizzrd-1 Zsa Zsa Gabor, like all women, is from Venus in this mercifully short science fiction film that is determinedly Z grade in dialogue and production budget despite being filmed expensively in colour Cinemascope.A group of astronauts in 1985 go on a routine mission to a space station and end up in Venus. The planet is controlled by a woman leader and a "posse" (snigger) of healthy young girls with legs up to their backsides, but still strangely non – sexual in that way they are in old American films. That's except the leader who is a bit of a minger. Oh I don't know though, apart from the face the rest of her is all right. I think Americans must eat too much processed meat. The robot like acting of Gabor doesn't add much to the razor thin plot, I only give it five stars because it's science fiction and hilariously misogynistic.Just a point - this is not a parody or a joke, it's a straightforward light entertainment program of the era. There were dozens of these sort of programs made for radio and television, all with the same sort of dumb aw-shucks jokes and mindless sexism.
LeonLouisRicci Unintentional Humor and Unwrapped Females Highlight this Excruciating Extravaganza of Extraterrestrial Excrement. Venus is inhabited by incredibly Busty Babes in Miniskirts whose Culture has been Influenced by Max Factor and Mattel. Swell, but They are as Dumb as Dirt but Smarter than the Astronauts who arrive there. "They just get beautiful-er and beautiful-er ".It's all done in Gorgeously Saturated Color and CinemaScope that makes the Mind fall into somewhat of a Hypnotic Hyper-Dimension as it all Washes over Us in an unmitigated Attempt to Lull the Populace into some kind of 50's Fraternal-ism. We are to Accept this as Entertainment and Fun as We all just get along and Accept the most Plastic, Artificial View of Our Surroundings. So Don't Think too much and for Heaven's Sake don't Question the Lack of Creativity or Inspiration that's on Display...just Go Home and Enjoy all of those Kitsch Consumer Products, and that Eight-Cylinder, Tail-Finned, Abominable Gas Guzzler.This is Not Pop-Culture Parody...this was the Pop-Culture.
