Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
zlucasz I don't understand the reviewers here who say that they deeply enjoyed Mars Needs Women yet give it two stars. Having enjoyed something doesn't count in your assessment of its value? Those who claim it's among "the worst" movies ever made should take a look at the other three movies Buchanan made for TV at around the same time. None rise to the heights of Mars Needs Women (and Zontar is more an example of a film that taxes endurance enough to have a certain sublimity of it own). What makes this movie especially great are the genuinely poetic moments that make the obviously intended earnestness of the ridiculous scenes more plausible. This film will be watched and studied long after the pablum currently playing your mall's multiplex is forgotten.
bursegsardaukar The planet Mars is under a crisis. The women population is getting low and several martians are sent on a mission to Earth to capture human females to be returned to Mars. Once on earth, they disguised themselves as humans and began selecting perfect human specimens to be taken back to Mars including a nightclub stripper, an air stewardess, etc.When the martian, Dop, met and develops feelings for Dr. Bolen, he began to change his views about the whole mission. The Army soon discovers the martians hideout and the martians,including Dop, are forced to flee without their human female captives.
preppy-3 That still belongs to "Salo".A bunch of Martians (led by Tommy Kirk) land on Earth. Their plan is to abduct women, bring them to Mars, and use them to keep their population growing. They each hunt down women successfully but Kirk falls in love with his prey Dr. Bolen (Yvonne Craig). Can he bring her with him or stay on Earth with her?With a title like that you would expect this movie to be pure camp. Surprisingly, it isn't! Everything is played straight-faced with absolutely no joking or winking at the audience. Now this movie is terrible--there's tons of stock footage (which easily take up most of the running time); a LOONGGGG strip sequence; dreadful acting (although Kirk and Craig do try); inept direction; bad sound (I couldn't hear some of the dialogue--no loss); hilariously inappropriate music and horrendous "special" effects (wait till you see the Martian spaceship!). The script is actually OK--it's not stupid just dull.There are plenty of dull spots in this movie but still, there are some moments to treasure--the introduction of Dr. Bolen on TV is hysterical and I got a laugh out of the title of a lecture she was giving--"Sex and Outer Space". And it was kind of fun to see how badly Larry Buchanan directed this. And I saw a new print and the colors were bright and strong.So, this is a bad movie, but I've seen worse. From what I've heard even Kirk and Craig to this day admit liking it! I'm giving it a 2.
LouBlake Sometimes bad movies are just bad. Not campy. Not funny bad. Just awful. This is #1 with a bullet.This is what I call a "Fast Forward Film", meaning you can put your VCR on fast forward for extended periods, and not miss anything important. Actually there isn't anything important or interesting in this entire flick. There's about five minutes of story, so to pad things out, someone will walk into a room, and then walk around the room, then pour themselves a drink, then walk around the room again, just to kill time.If I can convince even one of you not to waste your time with this film, I can die a happy man.
