FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
tdrish Well, wow, have we really went 30 years since The Pink Chiquitas hit the map of Beamsville? Where did the time go? Yeah, I remember this one, it wasn't exactly a smash, but it was 100 % meaningless, mindless entertainment if you know what I mean. A meteor has hit the town of Beamsville, and it's creating quite an aftershock. This is no ordinary meteor. It's a pink chiquita meteor, and it's turning all the local females into ( ahem!) sexually charged women. It's a cheese fest, no doubt, but if you don't mind the digging into the 80's trash bin, you'll discover this more of a treasure then junk, I did. I liked the way everything was handled. Nothing is taken too far ( hell, look, they kept their PG13 rating, didn't they?), and it doesn't take anything too seriously. I am actually quite tricky when it comes to films that I feel violate women, this is why I easily discard titles such as The Stepford Wives. In fact, if I remember, these girls actually have a great defense against the "pink" terror this meteor is causing. Remember those Walkmans? Play it! No, put the earbuds in ...there ya go! See, there's an irritating noise being transmitted through the air waves, and when the girls hear it, it drives them crazy. When you can't hear it, it won't affect those women ( which the count of how many don't get affected by the noise transmission is very low. So low, I won't say how many.) I don't have too many complaints with the movie, I watched it in 1990, it was cheesy then, so I know it's even cheesier now. However, I can't deny it was a lot of fun to watch. It's running time won't over stay its welcome. My only complaints were (1) too much time with the whole woods scenery, and (2) maybe the law enforcement could have acted a little less dumb. In a nutshell, I give this trifle of a flick 5 out of 10, if you're looking for a good dumb 80's flick, hell, you're looking at it!
BA_Harrison This camp Canadian homage to '50s sci-fi B-movies stars Frank Stallone (Sly's younger brother) as private eye Tony Mareda Jr., who finds himself pursued by South American gangsters and doing battle with an army of women who have been exposed to a pink meteorite that turns them into Amazonian warriors.Deliberately trashy in a bid for cult status, this film falls flat on its face thanks to a dreadful script that aims for laughs but misses by a mile, and terrible performances. Frank Stallone, sporting a horrible mullet, ably shows why he never achieved the level of fame enjoyed by his big brother, but he is not alone in his ineptitude: there's not one decent performance amongst the whole cast. About the only thing going for this mess are the attractive women who parade around in varying states of undress (but never naked: this is strictly PG nonsense).With so many terrible scenes to choose from it is hard to say what the absolute low point is, but definite contenders include the pointless musical number, flaming homosexual Dwight Wright (Gerald Isaac) in drag, Tony water-skiing behind a giant fish, and any moment featuring Don Lake as bumbling Deputy Barney Drum.2/10.
ichovil I don't think many people understand this movie. It was really quite a beautiful film about women mostly, well acted, and quite well scripted. Maybe you have to be an anthropologist to appreciate it. Before the last ice age and well into present times we were matriarchal and very sexual. The meteor only made our human nature more open. The meteor didn't die. After mating with a human male its babies can be seen bubbling up on the lake. Nobody here seems to understand what a pink Chiquita is. It's the title of the film people. It's what our species needs to continue surviving. There are some esoteric references in the film I don't understand. Clip appears in a very Beatles like uniform reminiscent of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on an amusement park merrigo round. I think the teen boys who initially found the meteor died. The only other death in the movie is the homosexual cross dresser. I bought this film because it was about what women were really like at one time, and I loved how normal life in the small town of Beamsville now was actually like. Loved Mary Ann. A librarian no less, married to a meteorolgist?
signups-2 This film is horribly acted, written, directed and produced. But it's so campy it's actually semi-watchable. That's SEMI watchable.The storyline (what little there is) makes virtually no sense whatsoever. The Barney Drum character is the only real comic relief in the movie and that gets tired after about 30 seconds. Many of the Canadian supporting cast can be found in TV commercials.. None of them went on to anything else that I'm aware of. And of course Sly Stallone's even less talented brother well..... =\Trivia: It was filmed almost entirely in and around the little village of Claremont, Ont. (about 20 miles N.east of Toronto) I recognized many local landmarks/intersections/buildings. I think the Drive-in scene was filmed at the now demolished "Oshawa Drive-in" just before it was torn down.
