Just like Snakes on a Plane (2006), the title of this extremely low-budget sci-fi offering pretty much sums up the movie – horny Martians say forget about taking me to your leader … instead take me to the nearest stripper bar.
A genetic anomaly on a populated Red Planet is causing all the women there to only give birth to male babies. As hard as the guys try nothing seems to work. So, not wanting to become known as the Pink Planet they send some of their finest studs to Earth. Judging by their outfits though, they may have already turned … Not that there would be anything wrong with that, of course.
Their mission is to try and persuade local women to go back to their ‘place’ for coffee … and then simply regenerate the female Martian population with a little interplanetary lovin’. As the not-so-subtle tagline suggests, ‘They were looking for chicks to go all the way’. |
They do strike it rich by enticing none other than legendary ’60s pin-up girl, Yvonne Craig, who plays a sexy scientist. Craig was well-known at the time as Batgirl in the corny Batman TV series and the short-lived Batgirl spin-off.
Starring as the main Martian, Dop, is Tommy Kirk, who before retiring in 2001, put together quite an interesting filmography. He starred in Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965) and Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966), and then, in his 50s, he starred in Attack of the 60 Foot Centrefolds (1995). Typecast? Naah.
“ ... Since the Earthmen, especially Americans, seem to place their faith in luck rather than scientific certainties, I wish you all luck” – Dop to his friends. |
