Supervixens (1975)

Why so much hype?

What a waste of my time!!!

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Supervixens is a trip. There are scenes that I love like Christy Hartburg at the beginning! It's interesting that her image from the film's poster is synonymous not only with the film but RM's entire career, but she is only in the film for less that 10 minutes. A lot of people hate the bathtub scene or think it goes too far but I actually liked it. Alfred Hitchcock liked the scene so much ( and it's nod to the master's Psycho) that he gave Charles Napier a contact at Universal Studios. The film does take a frightening turn and Angel's demise is one right out of a real horror film. I have shown other horror fans this film and they claim that the bathtub scene was the most brutal scene they had ever witnessed. I love Ushci Digard returning to the screen as SuperSoul. There is something so joyous about Uschi, even when she is raping Clint midway through the film. Uschi never seems naked she is always nude, a free spirit. This is not my favorite film by RM simply because it goes on forever and ever. I always get bored at the end. I like the queer overtones of his films but oddly there is no lesbianism in this one... However, Supervixens sometimes feels like a homosexual nightmare. The film centers around a man named Clint who is stalked by the impotent psycho cop Harry, throughout the film Clint is constantly fighting on advances from busty females. When he is raped by Supersoul, he screams, "Let go of my cock!" In the end Harry plans to blow up Clint's girlfriend Supervixen...? Am I the only one who reads into Harry and Clint's screwed up relationship? It may be open to interpretation... Not the worst... but not the best from RM.

Trashy chesty women, an evil cop and a sad idiot.... there you have it!!! shari eubank is absolutely fabulous and ultra sexy!!!! especially as the sweet cheeky supervixen.... Porn for the soul. There are a lot of mixed feelings about super angel's murder... if you can look beyond the gore and cruelty you do kind of see a funny side to it... this was way before Trantino's kill bill gore fest and quite shocking for its time. though loads of comedy sex and silly story lines keep the film rather funny and exciting. the highlight being supervixen and her gas station oasis and dream haven in the middle of nowhere.... but watch out the bad cop's back!!!! the ending is rather silly and totally comic!!! . a load of laughs with one the sexist woman on screen ever!!!!!!! a must for fans of cult trash!!!!

Meyer's out of control. It's in his method. Machine gun cutting. Marathon coverage of every scene. More angles than a mathematician's convention. Sweet, sharp pacing. Terrific, over-the-top performances. Sweeping desert vistas. Gorgeous ladies. Hung heroes. What's not to love?I accept that some folks don't take kindly to Charles Napier's stomping to death of Shari Eubank. They cry "Misogynist!" and keep watching. Frankly, who cares what these folks think. It's Russ's movie. Let Russ do Russ's movie. If you don't like it, turn it off, or make your own goddamned movie.There's love in every frame of SUPERVIXENS as Charles Pitts skips town to avoid the cuffs of lawman Napier. Along the way Pitts encounters an s***-load of female trouble, an unhappy husband and an overprotective daddy who wants to nail his balls to a floor. It's all good, dirty fun and Meyer wheels out a bevy of large-breasted beauties who are sure to make Uncle Foamy stand up and tapdance.Meyer is a great filmmaker. He has a skewed, fascinating world view that permeates every inch of his celluloid.His flicks, like SUPERVIXEN, document an era and an attitude.God bless him. And all hail SUPERVIXENS.

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!
