Russ Meyer's Super Vixens DVD

Russ Meyer once again airs his obsessions with huge breasts, violent revenge and escaped Nazi war criminal Martin Bormann in this highly perverse sex comedy/action thriller. Clint (Charles Pitts) is working at a gas station (run by none other than Martin Bormann, who was working as a bartender in Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls) when his wife is brutally murdered by Harry Sledge (Charles Napier), a cop with a deeply sadistic streak. Clint tries to bring Harry to justice while Harry attempts to frame Clint for the crime. In the meantime, Clint is constantly pursued by a variety of women with improbable names, voracious sexual appetites and bodies that make Pamela Anderson look like Kate Moss. More violent and less witty than many of Meyer's films, Supervixens features a villainous performance by Charles Napier, another from Meyer stalwart Stuart Lancaster and several typically cantilevered beauties, including Haji, Shari Eubank and Uschi Digard. Product Description

Not So Super

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 Pitts is too bland to be convincing as Clint Ramsey, the stud every super-stacked woman is dying to have sex with. Charles Napier is great as he chews cigars and chews scenery, playing the macho officer Harry Sledge. Charles went on to appear in many mainstream movies, including "The Blues Brothers" and "Rambo." 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. August 1, 2008
