Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

TxMike I actually saw this on Netflix streaming movies, but it is streamed through my Wi-Fi Blu-Ray player. I watched it for the novelty, I didn't expect it to be good and it isn't any good.The silly premise is a low-budget film company are making the ribald movie, "Bad Girls From Mars", and as the story progresses certain cast or crew end up dead. The killer always leaves a 4-line rhyme, but it is a bad rhyme, ignoring the actual rhyming word and putting something else at the end.Even though it is a low-budget production, they have managed to hire a well-known stripper, and it is played by Edy Williams as Emanuelle, a lady with no boundaries and who likes to bare her chest any time she gets the chance. Now I had no idea who Edy Williams was, and I thought "she looks kind of old for this role." Later I found out she was almost 50, and when she was in her 20s rivaled such stars as Jayne Mansfield and Rachel Welch. So this low-budget film of a fictitious low-budget film is just a spoof of other films. There are lots of sexual references, several fairly attractive girls who take their tops off. And they really do solve the murder mystery at the end.Very campy, very poor acting, probably purposely.

Scarecrow-88 A little Fred Olen Ray cheese about the troubled production of a silly sci-fi spoof called Bad Girls to Mars, where a serial killer in black outfit and mask is murdering off the female leads until Edy Williams(..under a sultry voice) is called in for the part, and doesn't die so easily. A showcase for Edy Williams(..nearing 50 at this time)who doesn't mind shedding her clothes(..she even changes wardrobe as her new director is driving her to a party in his Convertible!)showing off her doctored breasts. Jay Richardson amuses as an always grinning lead actor who raises the ire of his lady, make-up girl, Brinke Stevens(..fatally underused in this film)as he flirts with the bimbo actresses who star opposite him. Stevens covets the female lead role but her boss, director Oliver Darrow, won't give it to her. Darrow's lover, Dana Bentley, is his secretary, whose jealousy of Williams leads to an intense cat-fight! I watched a version which censored the lesbian kiss between Williams and Stevens...aww, shucks. Sub-plot reveals that the producers want the film to fail so that they can collect insurance benefits. I think the reason to see this are the cast(..especially Richardson whose a hoot as a movie-star wannabe, a third-rate actor delusional to the fact that he's not starring in a major project but a dumb sci-fi B-movie) and the sex jokes and zingers..Olen Ray is poking gleeful fun at the Hollywood process using slasher conventions(..mildly, and each death is so silly, including an actress hung by a roll of film strip, you can hardly find them disturbing, even a head in a box)as a tool, while also nodding lovingly at sci-fi flicks of yore. I will admit, I wanted some more Brinke Stevens than is available in this movie, but her sexy presence is in the movie for brief stretches. This film belongs to Edy Williams who plays her part as a bimbo with no inhibitions, who will not back down from physical altercations if challenged, to the hilt.

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* I bought this video for three bucks. "Bad Girls from Mars". Now there's a title that shows promise. I saw that Jay Richardson was in it and got excited. Where Richardson goes, naked breasts are sure to follow. I was ready for some cheesy, breast-filled sci-fi action. It turns out that I was only half-right in my expectations. "Bad Girls from Mars" is really a spoof of low budget film-making. The B-movie filmmakers are trying to make their epic "Bad Girls from Mars" but their leading ladies keep getting killed by a bad poetry writing maniac. They decide to bring in a professional. A large breasted blonde, (Edy Williams), shows up and takes her top off regularly. They know they've found the right woman for the job. Many more women will go topless before they get this flick in the can."Bad Girls from Mars" is fine Saturday night entertainment. I know this because I watched it on a Saturday night and it was fine. While it's not a sci-fi flick or have anything to do with Mars, they are plenty of bad girls. Brinke Stevens shows up as the costume girl. She doesn't join the topless parade but does sun herself by the pool. So that's nice. There are about four women who go topless and Edy Williams usually ends up without a shirt on in most scenes she's in. The guy playing the cop was funny and Richardson was on target as the egotistical leading man. "Bad Girls from Mars" is fun. I had a good time.

cio-2 Spoofs of films only work a small percentage of the time. Very often the spoof is too much like the film it is trying to spoof. "Mars Attacks" is a good example of this problem. "Bad Girls from Mars" is a low budget spoof of the making of a low-budget campy film, and surprisingly it works.Everything is hokey, but it is all making fun of the genre. It is sprinkled with some dialog gems. Academy award material it ain't, but if you put yourself in the right mood, it is a lot of fun
