Movie Reviews of Mars Needs Women
Movie Review: Almost wish I weren't old enough to post reviews . . .
Summary: 1 Stars
As every other reviewer of this says, it is terrible. Terrible. Not scray but horrendous. A waste of film, film-developing chemicals, editing time, and even the time of filming it. It's a wonder film projectors didn't, and DVD players don't, refuse to play it as a matter of self-respect.
But, not to worry: no good actors are wasted in it. And I don't feel any pity for Tommy Kirk: there's no evidence that he was forced to participate in this: he did it voluntarily. In fact, he should be jailed for life for allowing the use of his name to entice moviegoers to spend their hard-earned quarters to see this when it first escaped quarantine.
But none of that should matter: buy it, pop up a HUGE amount of popcorn -- 4-5 times the usual amount -- and FORCE yourself to sit through this. I promise you'll enjoy throwing the popcorn at the screen; just don't throw a whole bowl at a time.
I give this one star because the only other options, which are criminally unacceptable, are to give it two, if one is snidely hostile, three, if one is petulant and nasty, four, if one is a sadomasochistic sociopath, or five, if one is hoping to be assassinated.
Summary of Mars Needs Women
Mars Needs Women is as bad or as good as its title suggests--either way, you're going to marvel at this mess-terpiece. The red planet has a female shortage due to "a critical recession of the Y chromosome," so Tommy Kirk (stalwart of '60s Disney flicks) leads a trio of fellow Martians to recruit fertile Earth chicks, including a stripper (of course), a stewardess (er, flight attendant), and a brainy reporter (the latter played by Yvonne Craig of "Batgirl" fame). Filmed in Texas on a budget of (apparently) a few hundred bucks, this bad-movie milestone incorporates Air Force archival footage, a time-capsule glimpse of Dallas nightlife (you'll spot The Fortune Cookie on a marquee), and plenty of Martian snobbery about "the environmental naivet? of the Earthmen." To say it's all a hoot is an understatement; Mars Needs Women is an enduring artifact of the pre-Easy Rider era--a drive-in disaster that won't (and shouldn't) go away. --Jeff ShannonCult Movies DVD Video
