Bad Girls From Mars DVD Review:

Some films simply deserve to get lost and never make it to DVD. Unfortunately this isn’t what happened with Bad Girls From Mars. This silly horror spoof, which also seems to be a sex comedy spoof, is so bad that it should only be seen on late night cable. Even then it would likely bore audiences because of the awful unoriginality in even the simplest of tasks, such as women undressing.

A masked man has killed off every leading woman cast in the film Bad Girls From Mars, and nobody seems to know why. In one last attempt to finish the film, the director hires European sex expert, Emanuelle. Emanuelle arrives and immediately begins to sleep with everyone she meets, while barely escaping death at every turn.

Edy Williams plays Emanuelle with an embarrassingly large amount of nudity. She doesn’t look the slightest bit attractive and there are even moments where she resembles a man with a breast job more than she does a woman. It doesn’t matter much anyways because it seems like the film is making fun of the sex scenes as much as they are making fun of horror films. Nothing about this is meant to be taken seriously, which is the only positive comment to be made about a film this shamefully bad.

With the horror being silly and the sex horribly done, the only thing remaining is the comedy, which is only humorous because of how awful it is. The only real laughs to be taken from this film are the ones which are unintentional. Although it seems as though they are aware how bad the film is, that only makes it that much worse. Every actor involved seems to be determined to overdo the comedy in order to make this film their big break, or they are so indifferent that it is apparent all that was keeping them on set was the paycheck.

At eighty-six minutes this film feels like it may never end, and even after the mystery is solved it will be forgotten moments later. Bad Girls From Mars was made in 1991 and it should have never seen the light of the 21 century. The only thing to be hopeful about is that there are no special features on the disc to further embarrass those involved.
