Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity (C)
STARS...
Elizabeth Cayton, Cindy Beal, Brinke Stevens, Don Scribner, Carl Horner,
and Kirk Graves.
PLOT SUMMARY...
Two slave girls escape from a space prison, crash on a planet, and
become the prey of a crazed hunter.
QUICK SCAN...
This film could be compared to "Barbarella". Elizabeth Cayton
and Cindy Beal seem well cast as space bimbos. The FX here are sub par,
except for some decent space/planetary paintings by FX guys Mark Wolf
and John Eng.
DIRECTOR: Ken Dixon
YEAR & RATING: 1987 (R)
BEST BETS:
In a space prison ship, two buxom women are in chains. They escape, stealing a shuttle. After awhile, they crash land on a forbidding planet.
On the planet, the women encounter robots and an evil dude who likes to hunt people. In danger, the girls run around in skimpy outfits, occasionally showing their breasts.
When the girls escape, the evil dude, bummed, blows up his own planet. The girls travel up into space in their shuttle. Traveling through space, the girls decide to cruise through the universe, looking for new adventures.
Review:
Writer/Producer/Director Ken Dixon's SLAVE GIRLS FROM BEYOND INFINITY
is a reasonably entertaining piece of Sci-Fi exploitation trash.
Elizabeth Cayton ("Necromancer"), and Cindy Beal, are space
babes in chains, inside a spaceship/prison in the future. We don't know
why they are in prison. Perhaps it's illegal to be a bimbo in the future.
Anywho, after breaking their chains with their bare hands, they contemplate
their fate. One of them remarks, "If we can reverse the polarity
of these cuffs, the only thing standing between us and freedom is stealing
a star ship." Gee I guess bimbos in the future will be both stronger
and smarter than those of today. Even H.G. Wells didn't foresee
this!
Well, faster than you can say, "Bimbos in Space", these enterprising
gals steal a space shuttle and rocket their way to freedom. A FX complaint:in
the interior shots of the shuttle, the stars outside the shuttle window
don't move, and they should, as years of watching "Star Trek"
episodes have taught us. And, the shuttle interior shots inter cut poorly
with the exterior shots of the shuttle flying through space. Mark Wolf
and John Eng are responsible for the junior league FX.
Soon, the girls pick up a navigational/landing beacon, being transmitted
from a planet. Having no place better to go, they decide to land. On
second thought, they aren't so smart after all. It should be noted that
FX guys, Wolf and Eng, deliver pretty good space/planetary paintings
during this sequence.
Following a particularly rough landing, only one of the two bimbo's
seems to have survived; (interestingly enough, the one with the bigger
chest.) She wakes up on a beach, goes into a cave, walks through a jungle,
and ends up at a Mayan type temple, with ruins nearby. A door swings
open and Bimbo#1, (Elizabeth Cayton), goes inside. The exterior and
interior temple sets are impressive, and Directors of Photography, Ken
Wiataak, and Tom Callaway, make good use of the expensive-looking set,
delivering eye pleasing visuals.
In short order, Bimbo #1 meets a robot, a human, named Zed, who lives
in the temple, and is reunited with Bimbo #2, (Cindy Beal), her smaller
chested buddy. Zed, played by a stiff named Don Scribner, is a really
bad actor, who smirks so much he makes Chevy Chase seem restrained.
Soon the bimbos meet Rik (Carl Horner), and his sister, played by Brinke
Stevens. Rik and sis are the only survivors of another ship that crashed
on this planet recently. Before long, sicko Zed is having everybody
take part in his favorite game: hunting people like animals. He also
lusts after the babes but seems more interested in hunting, proving
that this messed up space dude has some serious problems.
But enough story, lets talk about the bimbos, er, slave girls. The three
women, Elizabeth Cayton, Cindy Beal, and Brinke Stevens ("Spirits"),
are all cute, and it's fun to see them run around in bikinis, as well
as sheer nighties. In addition, you actually get to see their nude breasts
in some scenes. Considering that some space bimbo movies, ("Galaxina",
for example), tease and don't deliver, SLAVE GIRLS FROM BEYOND INFINITY
could be considered a quality space bimbo effort.
The Music, Composed and Conducted by Jonathan Scott Bogner, is not bad,
which means it's adequate and doesn't distract too much from the girls.
My favorite scene is when Rik (Carl Horner), makes love to Elizabeth
Cayton, AKA Bimbo #1. The scene is shot and lit well, and delivers some
soft core, erotic thrills. Afterword, we get the following memorable
dialogue exchange. He: "Man and Woman. A great concept." She:
"I never knew how much I missed making love till just now."
Truly memorable dialogue!
If you liked "Barbarella", but thought it needed more skin,
you may find SLAVE GIRLS FROM BEYOND INFINITY rather watchable. Sci-Fi
fans who demand high quality, great FX, and/or intellectual stimulation,
should steer clear of this film at warp speed. In space, no one can
hear you jiggle!
