Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold (1995)

Simply Perfect

Powerful

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

"Attack of the 60foot Centerfold" (1995): Please don't hassle me about the title. That's exactly the way it appears on the screen (and on the cover of the Buena Vista DVD. Incidentally, that must be the smallest manufacture credit I've ever seen in my life. I had to search the DVD with a magnifying glass to find it)! Anyway, I enjoyed this one. I'll admit that the rat was no rat and would have been better left on the cutting-room floor, but otherwise I found the lightweight script very entertaining, partly because it didn't take itself too seriously. I thought the special effects looked pretty convincing at the very least, and many of them were beyond reproach. The star girl, J.J. North, is a wow, but some of the other ladies ran her close. The rest of the players lend able support and I would describe producer Fred Olen Ray's direction as extremely competent.

Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfolds (1995) ** (out of 4) Decent take-off on ATTACK OF THE 50FT WOMAN from cult director Fred Olen Ray. This time out centerfold Angel Grace (J.J. North) decides to take a special potion hoping that it will give her the edge over two other woman as they are trying to win Playmate of the Year. The potion certainly gives her a boost as it turns her into the title character. With a title like this and knowing that it's coming from Fred Olen Ray, one really shouldn't be expecting any sort of classic but if you're just wanting some cheap laughs and plenty of breasts then this here is just for you. I was really surprised to see that the movie's actually a lot better than one might expect. I thought there were some fun performances, the director keeps things moving fairly well and even the special effects are good. Again, we're not talking "classic" level here but for a "B" movie this isn't too bad. I thought North was extremely cute in the lead role and of course her willingness to get nude was a major plus. The supporting cast includes Russ Tamblyn, Tommy Kirk, Michelle Bauer as well as a cameo from Forrest J. Ackerman and SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II favorite Peter Spellos. There's obviously not much of a "story" to talk about but instead of story there's just pretty much non-stop nudity with the three centerfolds constantly getting naked, which is the main reason for this movie to exist. It's worth noting that with a film like this you're wanting "giant" nudity and it is here. I was surprised at how well done the special effects were. They're not Oscar-worthy but they're certainly much better than what we see in ATTACK FOK THE 50FT WOMAN. At just 84-minutes the film goes by at a pretty good pace so fans of this type of stuff should at least be mildly entertained.

"Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold" takes an already cheesy original, "Attack of the 50 foot Woman" and makes it cheesier! But it does so in such an engagingly cornball manner that you can't help but smile even as you groan at the inane plot and low rent special effects.The cast are all from the "golly, gosh" school of acting. They know full well they won't be up for Oscars so they lay it on shamelessly. There's an affectionate parody of Hugh Hefner. In a cute touch Michelle Bauer, who has stripped in dozens of b-flicks, plays a fully clothed science researcher. Lead actress JJ North and her fellow ingenues are amply endowed but the nudity, toplessness actually, isn't raunchy. They're too busy hamming it up to heat it up. There's not all that much nudity in the film, so don't expect a flesh parade.Not worth buying, but a good weekly rental.

A funny movie about bikini-clad models baring it all for a shot at Centerfold of the Year. One model overdoses on some miracle drug and grows to gargantuan status! Now, the 60ft tall goddess is sure to be the Centerfold of the Year!!
