Supervixens Reviews
Super Delicious Exploitation from Meyer...
Russ Meyer is a truly original American filmmaker of the highest caliber. His films are filled with lightning-speed edits, larger-than-life characters, delicious women, and over-the-top acting. His movies are shining examples of wonderful exploitation. They are by no means `high-art' and should not be judged as such. Myer masterfully puts his unique vision on the screen in all of his films, and `SuperVixens' is a shinning example of this.
This film starts off wonderfully, for it is incredibly entertaining and highly humorous (filled with VERY sexy women, large breasts, and lots of violence of course). It maintains a pretty rudimentary story-line, but that was never something that Meyer really pursued. He is more concerned with amusing characters, gorgeous women, and sweet violence, and this movie has plenty of that. Charles Napier gives one of his best performances ever here, as a psychotic, impotent, woman-killing cop. Shari Eubanks is dynamite and a vision to behold. My only complaint about this film is that it loses a bit of momentum after its blazing beginning. If you are into Russ Meyer you have undoubtedly seen this film- if you haven't, you must! The transfer to DVD is of a very high quality- the sound and picture and crystal clear. If you have never seen any of Meyer's films, this as good a place to start as any...
Not So Super
For years, Meyer's movies were only available on VHS for obscenely high prices. When this movie finally came out on DVD, I couldn't wait to see it again. Russ Meyer wrote, directed, produced and edited this film, so it includes all of his strengths and weaknesses. All of the women have very large breasts, but the sex scenes are fleeting and not very erotic. The dialogue is corny, and all of the characters are caricatures. Most disturbing of all, the violence is not only excessive and over the top, it comprises most of the movie.
Shari Eubank is fine as the demanding SuperAngel, who rises from the ashes of her fiery demise to become SuperVixen, the gorgeous gal with a heart of gold. Charles Napier is great as he chews cigars and chews scenery, playing the macho officer Harry Sledge. He went on to bigger and better things, appearing in many mainstream movies, such as "The Blues Brothers" and "Rambo." Charles Pitts is too bland to be convincing as Clint Ramsey, the stud every super-stacked woman is dying to have sex with. Christy Hartburg, who had a cameo as SuperLorna and is featured on the cover of the DVD, never appeared in another movie! "Supervixens" has not aged very well, and is more interesting as a curiosity than as a cult classic.
