my least favorite of all the Meyer films, and although I do like Napier, Supervixens and also Cherry, Harry, And Raquel are the 2 Meyer films I've seen that I really don't like much. And granted, a bad Meyer film still has a lot going for it. First off, the great cinematography and the boobs,.....however, too often there's a little too much of a cartoon-like vibe that doesn't mix well with the nasty violence. The bath-tub kill scene was a bit out of touch with the rest of the film. Some of the dialog/acting is just awful, too and the main male lead didn't work for me. I'd a rather Napier played him since Napier's role was mainly at the beginning and then the end as the crazed cop. The reason why Faster Pussycat remains Meyer's best-known film is because the females are the main characters. In Supervixens, they're almost an afterthought. A lot of the music is goofy, too, a common thing in Meyer films that often give it a cheap dated feel in 2007. But to contradict myself, in a lot of his films, the music is dated in a way that totally works.Rent Faster Pussycat, Vixen, Up!, Mudhoney, or BVD instead!!!!!

Russ Meyer sure did know how to deliver an amazingly good time, and Supervixens is without doubt one of his very finest hours! Like all Russ Meyer films, this one is completely over the top and every bit an epic, as Meyer crams in a ton of sex, violence and ample chested girls into the sprawling and often hilarious plot line. The film is completely wayward and since the base of the plot is solely focused on one guy travelling without aim, it means that Russ Meyer can pretty much do whatever he likes - and that's clearly what he did do! The lead character is Clint, a gas station worker married to 'Super Angel'. Clint has a problem - women can't keep their hands off him, and this is not pleasing his wife who believes he is playing away and kicks him out after a fight. She then hooks up with the local policeman, whom she ends up winding up and later finds herself dead. Naturally, Clint is the number one suspect for the murder; so he decides to skip town. He then sets out on an aimless odyssey, and meets numerous characters along the way, many of which happen to be big breasted ladies...Supervixens really is a dream film for anyone who loves over the top gratuity. The film is pure comic genius from start to finish and Meyer provides the audience with a constant stream of ridiculous goings on, and it's always great fun to watch. The lead ample chested vixen is Shari Eubank; she only made two films in her career, and that's a shame as she has real charisma and, like the rest of the girls in this film, looks great too! Charles Pitts is good enough as the leading man, but Charles Napier is the one that really stands out as the psychotic copper! Napier is really at home in this role and clearly enjoys it too. Supervixens is great entertainment throughout and doesn't get boring for a second. There's a constant source of amusement and I'm sure that this film will please most viewers. Some of the scenes in this film (particularly around the start of the film) are absolutely stunning and it has to be said that Meyer has really done something special with this film. Overall, it's probably quite clear what I think of this film - it's seriously good stuff! And everyone should give it a go!

Referring back to the previous comment - I sure have a sense of humor, and a quirky one at that, (love monty python, super troopers, shaun of the dead, etc) but this has to be the worst movie ever! No wonder its on pay TV at 2am. It is even hard to tell what genre this is, and the murder scenes are just so wrong. Not to mention the bad effects, acting, fashion and hair dos. Also, since I am German, I didn't really appreciate the use of a nazi propaganda song from world war II. I would add something positive but I just cannot find anything to say. Sorry, but unfortunately I have to say this one is definitely not worth watching.

Russ Meyer, like David Lynch or Alejandro Jodorowsky, creates his own world in his movies and invites you to visit. And while I may not want to LIVE there, I sure do like to visit! You either love Meyer or you don't, it's as simple as that. Most fans seem to regard either Faster Pussycat or Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls as his best movies. I worship them both but my particular favourite is Supervixens. This movie is like no other ever made, with it's surreal mix of buxom babes, humour, violence, car chases and dynamite that has to be seen to be believed! Charles Napier fans note that this is his definitive performance playing psycho cop Harry Sledge, which may or may not be a reprise of his role in Cherry, Harry and Raquel! I dunno. Other Meyer regulars pop up including Haji, Stuart Lancaster and the criminally underseen John Lazar(Z-Man). But the real find here is Shari Eubank in a duel role. She unfortunately only made one other movie after this, Chesty Anderson,USN (with Timothy Carey!). She will always be remembered by lovers of trash cinema everywhere. You haven't lived until you've seen Supervixens!
