It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Although this film is a sub standard super hero movie/pornoI found i quite liked it. It is so unself-consciously terrible it is able to transcend its terrible script/plot/acting and become a great comedy.Don't expect Shakespeare, do expect to laugh at the movie rather than with it. Carmen electra's costume at the end is the crowning glory of this silly movie . A S&M astronaut stripper ,awsome.The sex scenes mostly seem to involve milk?? don't ask and are not actively offensive , a great night in with pizza and beer movie Your sides will splitoh the hilarity

This is the fascinating tale of a superhero (Shauna Sand) who is killed, leaving her sister (Carmen Electra) to take up her mantle. Even if you have toxic blood flowing through your veins this movie will only give enjoyment on a why did they make this level. You can laugh at the horrific acting of Shauna Sand, although her running is first rate, you can wonder why a certain former playboy playmate (Carmen Electra) did not even do her own nude scenes, or you can simply enjoy the milk and cookies scene for the fine piece of oak inducing entertainment that it is. If you are looking for a more enjoyable Carmen Electra movie, try "The Mating Habits of The Earthbound Human." If you enjoy crap, by all means, bathe yourself in this turd.

If you're not familiar with Troma films, you may be totally thrown off by this offbeat film. Now I'm no Troma fanatic, but I've always been slightly fascinated by Troma in the same way a passing driver is fascinated by someone getting shot on the freeway. As far as the Troma films go, the worse the better. These are the people who brought you the "Toxic Avenger" and "Class of Nuke 'Em High" movies. But I figured I'd buy the DVD since even if I totally hate the film, at least I'd get to see Carmen Electra get naked. Well, she does get naked, though not as much as I'd prefer. But the scene where she pours milk all over her body is very worthwhile, and there's some great close-ups of her big, firm boobs. There's also many great shots of that firm, bubble-butt ass of hers. Not to mention close-ups of her beautiful face. But for a Troma flick, this is like "Citizen Kane"--not "Citizen Toxie." I mean, the film actually has a plot, as well as attempts at creating dramatic tension. And the acting really isn't bad at all! The actors actually sound like they remembered their lines and aren't reading off a teleprompter. Is this Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz's way of showing they have depth? I don't recall any gross-out effects and other than Carmen's two nude scenes, no gratuitous shots of naked (often fake) boobs. There's even a shot where a woman is entering a shower and her back is turned the camera as she unclasps her bra. Then we cut away. Just when did a Troma film ever spare a boob shot? But overall, it's a pretty bland film. It tries to make a serious film out of a goofy premise. About the only Troma trademarks I found were the two dumb rednecks. Those are definite Troma characters! As I said, I don't always appreciate the Troma films, even when they don't try to be tasteful and try to be as taste-LESS as can be, but there's no use trying to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Go for tasteless next time! And more naked boobs! That's what Troma's all about! By the way, if you are gonna buy the film, please get it on DVD. It has some absolutely great features, including many gratuitous clips of naked Tromettes--which compensates for the lack of them in this movie. My score: 5 (out of 10)

I disagree with himikey. Any film that has Shauna Sands running has my vote. This is not a great piece of film, but it is better than some of Troma's previous work. If you like Carmen or Shauna then see it.
