Hilarious and great fun - a masterpiece from Russ Meyer!

Russ Meyer sure did know how to deliver an amazingly good time, and Supervixens is without doubt one of his very finest hours! Like all Russ Meyer films, this one is completely over the top and every bit an epic, as Meyer crams in a ton of sex, violence and ample chested girls into the sprawling and often hilarious plot line. The film is completely wayward and since the base of the plot is solely focused on one guy travelling without aim, it means that Russ Meyer can pretty much do whatever he likes - and that's clearly what he did do! The lead character is Clint, a gas station worker married to 'Super Angel'. Clint has a problem - women can't keep their hands off him, and this is not pleasing his wife who believes he is playing away and kicks him out after a fight. She then hooks up with the local policeman, whom she ends up winding up and later finds herself dead. Naturally, Clint is the number one suspect for the murder; so he decides to skip town. He then sets out on an aimless odyssey, and meets numerous characters along the way, many of which happen to be big breasted ladies...

Supervixens really is a dream film for anyone who loves over the top gratuity. The film is pure comic genius from start to finish and Meyer provides the audience with a constant stream of ridiculous goings on, and it's always great fun to watch. The lead ample chested vixen is Shari Eubank; she only made two films in her career, and that's a shame as she has real charisma and, like the rest of the girls in this film, looks great too! Charles Pitts is good enough as the leading man, but Charles Napier is the one that really stands out as the psychotic copper! Napier is really at home in this role and clearly enjoys it too. Supervixens is great entertainment throughout and doesn't get boring for a second. There's a constant source of amusement and I'm sure that this film will please most viewers. Some of the scenes in this film (particularly around the start of the film) are absolutely stunning and it has to be said that Meyer has really done something special with this film. Overall, it's probably quite clear what I think of this film - it's seriously good stuff! And everyone should give it a go!
