Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
HumanoidOfFlesh The main character of "They Call Me Macho Woman" is Susan Morris(Deborah Sweaney),a nubile young woman,who is being stalked by Mongo "Unicorn",big bad drug lord and his cohorts of merciless criminals.But Susan ain't gonna become easy victim.It's not in her style.After visiting some kind of tool shed and sleeping there she arms herself with instruments of steel and begins to kill gang members one by one.Hilariously funny action flick with bad acting and hysterical death scenes.There are a couple of really dumb scenes that made my jaw wide open.There is also a lot of running through the woods and a bit of gore.If you like non-stop action with hatches,blades and axes give this funny Troma release a chance.7 nine inch nails out of 10.
moviefan-85 I saw this movie by accident from old vhs tape. I think everybody should watch this movie and they would get new perspective "what is a bad movie" The story makes no sense. There is no charecter development. We dont even know who the hell is our leading female hero. We dont know a sh*t about the. (WARNING: SOME MINOR SPOILERS) We just know that the bad guys are cocaine dealers and believe they have a lot of cocaine. ´Gangs leader is huge skinhead look alike guy who executes people with SM type unicorn device on head, very strange!!! So they want to kill her for trespassing in their turf. But all the crap comes when she starts killing them with the whip, axes, and using other sharp objects ( and booby traps) She is dressed up like amazon woman. She just turns from the victim to killer in a second, thats very strange. She kills chinese guy by throwing spikes in his eyes, so you pretty well know what kind a movie is this. I liked independent film feeling in this but it isnit much. This movie is hilarious and that is the strenght of the movie. Watch it and laugh at it!
supercygnus I saw this on cable. Someone had to lose their job for greenlighting this one for air. Just because a movie is made does not mean it has to be shown! Savage Instinct should be shown in ALL film classes. It is the perfect template for how to not make a movie. The editing alone is so jumbled you'll think it was assembled by a team of trained (poorly) monkeys, traveling across unpaved canyon road in the back of a jeep, blindfolded and drunk. The audio is often not legible. Acting? I can't call anything I saw here acting. Reciting? Hmmm. Can't call it that either. Failing? That works. All that being said...IT IS HILARIOUS! I cannot stress enough that there is not one redeemable factor in this "film" other than the hilarity derived from it's own incredible ineptness. Fun, in a strictly masochistic sort of way. Watch it...if you dare.
drmomentum Bad editing, bad production values, bad continuity, implausible, bad dialogue... this movies is bad, bad, bad. However, if you want a movie to poke fun at (a la MST3000), this is your movie. I wouldn't suggest spending much money on it, but if you do see this movie, make sure it's with plenty of witty, like-minded buddies.
