Supervixens (1975)

Thanks for the memories!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Supervixens is a trip. There are scenes that I love like Christy Hartburg at the beginning! It's interesting that her image from the film's poster is synonymous not only with the film but RM's entire career, but she is only in the film for less that 10 minutes. A lot of people hate the bathtub scene or think it goes too far but I actually liked it. Alfred Hitchcock liked the scene so much ( and it's nod to the master's Psycho) that he gave Charles Napier a contact at Universal Studios. The film does take a frightening turn and Angel's demise is one right out of a real horror film. I have shown other horror fans this film and they claim that the bathtub scene was the most brutal scene they had ever witnessed. I love Ushci Digard returning to the screen as SuperSoul. There is something so joyous about Uschi, even when she is raping Clint midway through the film. Uschi never seems naked she is always nude, a free spirit. This is not my favorite film by RM simply because it goes on forever and ever. I always get bored at the end. I like the queer overtones of his films but oddly there is no lesbianism in this one... However, Supervixens sometimes feels like a homosexual nightmare. The film centers around a man named Clint who is stalked by the impotent psycho cop Harry, throughout the film Clint is constantly fighting on advances from busty females. When he is raped by Supersoul, he screams, "Let go of my cock!" In the end Harry plans to blow up Clint's girlfriend Supervixen...? Am I the only one who reads into Harry and Clint's screwed up relationship? It may be open to interpretation... Not the worst... but not the best from RM.

Once Rem Koolhaas (know rather known as star architect who built the Public Library in Seattle or the Dutch Embassy in Berlin) wrote a screenplay for Meyer. It included some allusions to the German director Fassbinder. Although the project was never realized, one may find a kind of Fassbinder's style also in Supervixens. Some may consider this claim more or less blasphemous. Nevertheless, Meyer features a movie that is not entirely cheesy trash and cheap 70s soft-porn. It is much more: A satirical reflection of gender roles, for instance. While the women (with big breasts) are clearly depicted as agents of their sexual likings, the male characters do not seem to recognize these clear-cut own will and agency. It is this odd difference that contributes to the hilarious atmosphere in the first part of the movie and promotes its plot similar to a comedy of mistaken identity. However, to the end it is exactly the lack of this bizarre "spice" that makes the last half of Supervixens less colorful and even lengthy.

Trashy chesty women, an evil cop and a sad idiot.... there you have it!!! shari eubank is absolutely fabulous and ultra sexy!!!! especially as the sweet cheeky supervixen.... Porn for the soul. There are a lot of mixed feelings about super angel's murder... if you can look beyond the gore and cruelty you do kind of see a funny side to it... this was way before Trantino's kill bill gore fest and quite shocking for its time. though loads of comedy sex and silly story lines keep the film rather funny and exciting. the highlight being supervixen and her gas station oasis and dream haven in the middle of nowhere.... but watch out the bad cop's back!!!! the ending is rather silly and totally comic!!! . a load of laughs with one the sexist woman on screen ever!!!!!!! a must for fans of cult trash!!!!

This is the first porn movie i have seen in my life. I was only 9 years old (no joke). That was in 1988 i guess. Now, you may ask yourself how a 9 years old buy get in touch with pornmovies without being caught by his parents. You know what? i have seen it together with my mom. Hehe. No! i am not kidding!I dont really remember the story anymore but it was truly amazing and funny. I would like to see it again. Too bad i am not that intrested in porn anymore. get in touch with me if you know any websites which are deticated to this movie. out.
