Supervixens (1975) Reviews

• Meyer gets carried away with several sadistic scenes that are real turn-offs...

  Nazi_Fighter_David2008-10-10

  After the brutal murder of his promiscuous wife, Clint (Charles Pitts) is forced to flee a small town… Harry (Charles Napier), a wicked look-alike who committed the killing, had little trouble to put the blame for the murder on Clint… Clint falls into a number of adventures, getting caught in the act with the mail-order wife of a farmer, having a brief affair with a chesty black mute girl, and finally coming across a diner/gas station run by a lonely but beautiful woman who turns out to be a copy of his former wife… Clint stays on at the diner to help out the woman, and falls in love… The assassin, however, passes through, discovers Clint, kidnaps his new girlfriend, and tries to kill them both… The women in "Supervixens" are buxom, attractive, and very intelligent, whereas the men are generally sex-crazed, vicious, and uncoordinated... Meyer usually bombards his audience with erotic images—big breasts, strong desire women, and simulated lovemaking—but here he gets carried away with several sadistic scenes that are real turn-offs...

• Superboobs, Superviolence and Supersleazy! Need say more?

  The movie follows the hilarious odyssey of a nice young fellow, on the run for one man and an army of very very voluptuous bigbreasted women. The production and the visualization is low budget, but very effective and moody, the humor is really incredibly weird (especially the Nazi-jokes are very sick) and the violence is convincingly sadistic. One of the most exciting films ever made and absolutely Meyer's masterpiece. Nice, nice, nice!

  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!

• `SUPER' is the only word to use here!

  Russ Meyer is a God who succeeds in creating his own utopist universe over and over again. This film is just brilliant, even though the entire prudish and easily offended world will never admit it. Yes, it's a sexfilm… So what if it is? And besides, apart from that it also is a truly ingenious comedy and a cruel satire. After his more pretentious (but equally terrific) portrait `Beyond the Valley of the Dolls', Meyer falls back on the themes and ideas that gained him his first successes. This being the adventures and misfortunes of a young protagonist on the run. Falsely accused of murdering his girlfriend, a handsome man hitchhikes across rural America. Everywhere he goes gorgeous, voluptuous nymphs sexually harass the poor, poor guy (???). Isn't life hell? Charles Napier is excellent as the psycho cop, while the `vixens' are too hot to handle! Every single girl who walks through the screen here looks like a fantasy come true. Supervixens constantly features cheerful music and the screenplay is very funny. Although I can imagine not for all tastes, I personally laughed sick when the Austrian chick starts squealing German while making love! Russ Meyer often reuses stuff that also featured in his earlier movies. Like the snakebite or even the entire climax which is a more explosive update of the `Motor Psycho' ending. Not too original but who cares? He's Russ Meyer so he can do anything he wants! A fellow fan stated in his user comment that you haven't lived until you see Supervixens, and I couldn't have said it better. A must!

• Another outrageous Russ Meyer epic!

  SUPERVIXENS may be the ultimate Russ Meyer film! Overdosing on breasts, sex, and violence, Meyer delivers the goods to his fans and then some. In this movie, all women with huge breasts have Super stated before their name, like they are a totally different race of women. In Meyer's world, they are. Shari Eubanks is amazing as SuperAngel, a slutty bitch who tortures her boyfriend Clint to the point of insanity. When Angel has an affair with psycho sheriff Harry Sledge (the ever-sneering Charles Napier) who ends up killing her (a sequence that will make even the most jaded viewer cringe), Clint is blamed. On the run, he encounters more Superwomen (including Haji as SuperHaji and Uschi Digart as SuperSoul) and actors and situations from Meyers' earlier films (including FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! and VIXEN!). Stuart Lancaster plays a farmer who has LOTS of exaggerated, hilarious sex with his German mail-order bride SuperSoul (Uschi Digart). Clint finally meets up with SuperVixen (Eubanks again) and takes a job as her boyfriend and mechanic at her gas station. But Harry shows up in time to provide trouble for Vixen and Clint. SUPERVIXENS has possibly the widest array of sexy women in Meyer's films. From the film's opening vixen SuperLorna (who disappears too quickly) to the mute black SuperEula (Richard Pryor's future wife) to the spicy barmaid SuperHaji (Haji returns! Hallelujah!), all the women here will provide eye candy for ten more Meyer movies! One thing is noted about Russ Meyer's women and that is they can all at least act a bit. Shari Eubanks is one example of this and she stands along with Erica Gavin and the three women from FASTER PUSSYCAT! as Meyer's best actresses. Regular Meyer fans may be turned off by the multiple violent scenes that seem more gruesome and tasteless than his other films. SUPERVIXENS may be hard to find because of Meyer's strict rental video policy, but is well worth tracking down! SUPERVIXENS probably stands as Meyer's best 70s film. Highly recommended.
