Better known as LOVE GODDESSES OF BLOOD ISLAND this is the story of an astronaut(or maybe a fighter-pilot) who crash lands and ends up on an island of 6 sexy but bloodthirsty amazon women who do a lot of burlesque dancing and butchering men that displease them. In fact the majority of this less than an hour long feature is just gals shaking their hips along to jungle lounge music. Supposedly, this was originally 72 minutes long but there's a lot of missing footage. I don't think it actually effects what little bit of plot there is anyway though. The gore scenes are really what brought me to this pic in the first place since this(along with HG Lewis' classic gore films) is one of those rare examples of an early 60s movie that's not afraid to show graphic violence and rivers of blood. You get a guy who a friend of mine pointed out looks quite a bit like Alice from THE BRADY BUNCH(and I guess is supposed to be a Nazi) disemboweled and decapitated in the big highlight scene. There's also some spear-poking and eye-violence to top it all off. Overall not a great film but definitely worth a look as a curiosity piece. The only downside to this is that it sure coulda used a little nudity but I guess you can't have everything in 1963. AKA KISS ME BLOODY
This is scene that informed me that I needed to see this epic!:
On a great quadruple feature right in-between some HG Lewis blood-baths where it belongs!:
Ballyhoo!:
