Queen of Outer Space (1958)

Just what I expected

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I liked the closing credits, which introduces the evil queen and her "posse" how is that for predicting the future!

Remember this classic Sci-fi comedy way back in the early 60's watching this on THE MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE in New York. This epic movie starts off as we see the gorgeous Joi Lansing watching her boyfriend/astronaut take off with his fearless crew to of all places Venus.That's all Joi collect your check. She's out of the rest of the movie. Unexplained attacks against Earth's space stations were the reason for their Journey to our neighboring planet second from the sun. The crew is headed by the colorless and poorly acted Captain Patterson played by Eric Fleming of Rawhide fame. The crew lands on a tropical jungle like planet (contrary to the real Venus which is 800 degrees Fahrenheit at it's surface temperature),anyway the crew comes across a group of Mini skirt clad Females with ray guns in hand. Off to meet the Queen. and what a Queen she is complete with a mask and complaints against Man.Our Anarchist played by Laurie Mitchell, asked the crew members questions about their trip to the domineeringly female planet. Funny quips are supplies by co- traveler Lt. Cruze,AKA Wacky Racers narrator Dave Willock. Paul Birch plays a mild mannered overweight scientist who through out the picture makes outrageous claims about Venus which would drive any science teacher to rip their hair out of their skull. The leading Lady in all of this is is the lavishly made up ZSA ZSA GABOR with her unmistakable Hungarian accent. Funny moment was when Captain Patterson tries to flirt with the evil Queen but his plan backfires when the Mask is removed and The Queens face resembles a Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Zsa Zsa takes a liking to the helpless Earthlings and plans an escape for her male counterparts. Zsa Zsa abducts the irritated Queens by tying her up and Taking her Mask. Plans are Quickly dashed as her Hungarian Accent comes through. Another Question comes to mind? How does that mask stay on the Queen's Face and Not Zsa Zsa's. Maybe lots of staples and Rubber bands. Anyway the rest of this movie is not worth to mention but for the most part I was entertained. Abbott and Costello or the Three Stooges made similar movies but this one was supposed to be serious.NOT!!

A spaceship with a four-man crew crash-lands on Venus. There they find the planet is inhabited solely by women, who take the men prisoner believing them to be the first wave in an invasion by Earth. The women are ruled by masked Queen Yilana, who hates men and blames them for the disfigurement of her face. Not all of the women on Venus are man-haters, though. A group of resistance fighters, led by Talleah (Zsa Zsa Gabor), plan to rescue the astronauts and overthrow Yilana.I love this movie. It's so much fun. It has lots of cheesy appeal and comic value, both intentional and otherwise. It's so ridiculously sexist and outdated that you can't possibly take it seriously unless you have a stick up your rear the size of a redwood. Also, it's a '50s sci-fi movie so it has that charm about it. I love the colorful costumes, sets, and props. The cast is good. Zsa Zsa is memorably bad in the best way. Eric Fleming and Paul Birch play it straight, which helps make the whole thing that much funnier. Dave Willock is always a treat. But it's Patrick Waltz that gets the best (and most sexist) lines. A fun sci-fi movie that everyone should be able to enjoy on some level. Just take your serious hat off for awhile.

Unintentional Humor and Unwrapped Females Highlight this Excruciating Extravaganza of Extraterrestrial Excrement. Venus is inhabited by incredibly Busty Babes in Miniskirts whose Culture has been Influenced by Max Factor and Mattel. Swell, but They are as Dumb as Dirt but Smarter than the Astronauts who arrive there. "They just get beautiful-er and beautiful-er ".It's all done in Gorgeously Saturated Color and CinemaScope that makes the Mind fall into somewhat of a Hypnotic Hyper-Dimension as it all Washes over Us in an unmitigated Attempt to Lull the Populace into some kind of 50's Fraternal-ism. We are to Accept this as Entertainment and Fun as We all just get along and Accept the most Plastic, Artificial View of Our Surroundings. So Don't Think too much and for Heaven's Sake don't Question the Lack of Creativity or Inspiration that's on Display...just Go Home and Enjoy all of those Kitsch Consumer Products, and that Eight-Cylinder, Tail-Finned, Abominable Gas Guzzler.This is Not Pop-Culture Parody...this was the Pop-Culture.
