Movie Reviews of Cat-Women of the Moon
Movie Review: Ed Wood would be Proud
Summary: 2 Stars
OMG - and I thought Plan Nine From Outer Space was bad. This movie is so poorly written, acted and produced that it's enjoyable to watch simply to see what idiotic/incoherent/absurd thing will happen or be said next. The script could have been written by a five year old. The dialouge is awful and the interplay between Marie Windsor, Sonny Tufts and Victor Jorie downright laughable. Are they supposed to be middle aged rocket scientists or a couple of 7th graders with crushes? It's hilarious - like Plan 9. I'd love to know what the budget was for this blockbuster - I'm guessing somewhere under a $1,000. It was definitely made on the cheap and I doubt that many if any of the scenes had re-takes. The old saying is that if you locked a hundred monkeys in a room with a hundred type writters for a million years they would eventually type the complete works of Shakespeare simply by trial and error. Well the producers of this fiasco must have only been able to afford one monkey for an hour to have gotten the script they got. I'm not sure what the connection is to "Cat Women" in this film as there are no cats anywhere in the movie. They could just as well have titled it Bandicoot Women as there were no less Beandicoots present than there were Cats. Or possibly Algerian Kangaroo Women - kind of has a ring to it. Then there's the interpetive dance troupe number three quarters of the way through the movie - what was that all about???? Someone had to be channeling Ed Wood to have come up with this. I'm giving this film two stars for it's unintentional humor, which abounds through out and which is one star more than I probably would have given it if Steven Segal had been in it rather than Sonny Tufts - wait a minute, maybe that shapeless blob on the lunar landscape was Segal - ya think? Nah, the painted cardboard rock they used was a better actor.Movie Review: Too awful? I guess it's possible...

Cat-Women of the Moon
I'm usually a great fan of movies that are so bad that they're good, and I watched this film expecting that kind of campy, sci-fi/horror flick. While some parts of the film were amusing, most of it was just so bad! But that's just it... it was so bad but somehow not bad enough (at least not in the right way) to be hilariously bad. The acting was mediocre. I actually stopped watching it after having made myself at least wait until the cat women appeared.
Until this point in the movie, though, there was some cute, occasionally amusing banter between the lone female astronaut and the rest of the male astronauts (one of whom has the hots for the lady and gives the impression of being a bit predatory), but very little action (or plot) actually happened. I just kept waiting, hoping that some amazingly cheesy, corny, campy event to happen while the characters were still in the spacecraft before reaching the moon. If ANYTHING were to actually happen. I do have to say that the cat women idea was hysterical in itself.
Doubtless, another reviewer will probably call me out on having not watched to the end (which is perhaps funnier?), but as I already related, it was so painful to watch the first part. All in all, I am giving this movie a rating of only one star because, for some reason I have not entirely figured out yet, the movie failed to transcend the line of bad and enter the magical realm of classic camp for me. This is the worst 'bad' film that I have not enjoyed.
Maybe if you are not expecting to be entertained wholeheartedly with 50's and 60's campiness like I was expecting you would like this film more than I did.

Crikkey, is this an awful film. Not as awful as, say, "Revenge of the Mutant Tampons", but a possible runner-up. I only purchased the DVD to listen to Elmer Bernstein's score.
