Um, what's a "fantazoid monster"? There sure weren't any of those in the film I watched. What I did see were lots of low budget effects and sets, but the camera tended to avoid these and instead linger on our two heroines as they paraded around in lingerie and leather bikinis. Which makes the film a cheap exploitation piece, but we all knew that from the title, didn't we? This film is credited as a remake of the '30s classic THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, but it changes the setting from an island to a futuristic planet. It's total rubbish but that's not to say it isn't worth watching. It does pass the time nicely and it's a good title to have in your collection. The acting is non-existent, although the girls don't stumble too much with their lines and there is a great role from Scribner as Zed, the psycho hunter.

I really liked this guy and found myself rooting for him. Gelled hair, black clothes, hairy chest, heck, even a medallion, he was the coolest bad guy (terribly clichéd too, but you come to expect that with films like these). The sets of this film are less than impressive. 95% of the backgrounds are obvious drawings, and I haven't seen recycling of the same sets over and over again since I watched PLAU DEAD (where they had the same street as two different locations, the difference? Parked cars in one, no parked cars in the other).

The special effects range from good to atrocious. The monsters look good, as do the robots, but the laser blasts are that bad computer effect which appears in hundreds of '80s sci-fi films such as these. Even DR WHO used it copiously. As expected the girls find various ways of taking their tops off, but don't expect this to be some soft-core porn epic, there's very little nudity. What there is, is lots of action to keep you watching. A real cheap and cheerful piece of trash. I expected it to be from Troma but not this time, however the spirit of cheap exploitation that we all know and love is definitely there.

Stranded chowderheads Daria (buxom blonde beauty Elizabeth Cayton),Tisa (the curvaceous Cindy Beal),Shala (slinky Brinke Stevens) and Ric (the dorky Carl Horner) are ruthlessly stalked and hunted on some far flung remote jungle planet by sadistic sleazoid Zed (deliciously overplayed with eye-rolling hammy gusto by Don Scribner) and his two clunky robot assistants in this entertainingly tacky low-budget sci-fi quickie version of "The Most Dangeous Game." Jam-packed with ineptly staged action scenes, campy dialogue ("It's a cold cosmos"),corny acting from an enthusiastic cast, a tight 73 minute running time, a snappy pace, and hokey special effects, this admittedly cheesy picture supplies a great deal of infectiously inane and unapologetic low-brow no-brainer fun. Better still, this movie certainly doesn't skimp on the gratuitous nudity: Cayton bares her considerable all for a fairly steamy soft-core sex scene, Stevens gets raped and tortured, and Beal removes her top to go skinny-dipping. Sure, this flick sure ain't no work of exceptionally subtle and sophisticated art, but it still does the pleasingly mindless junk feature trick just the same.

Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity can be summed up in just a few words: 'The Most Dangerous Game', in space, with hot women.

The villainous Count Zaroff becomes Zed (played by Don Scribner, who is like Christian Bale, minus the talent),the island becomes a remote planetoid, and the ship-wreck survivors become space-wreck survivors. Zed mounts the heads of his victims in a trophy room, as did Zaroff, and writer/director Ken Dixon even throws in an homage to The Most Dangerous Game's 'log over the ravine' scene (which itself re-used sets from King Kong '33). Some of Dixon's dialogue is lifted almost verbatim from the earlier movie.

Of course, originality is not the main attraction here: it's bums and boobs that the viewers wants, and it's bums and boobs that Dixon delivers, the film opening as it means to go on with a big-breasted blonde in a bikini being menaced by a cyborg mutant (oh yes, the film has those too, as well as mutants, zombies, and mutant zombies!). The action then focuses on two slightly smaller breasted but no less tasty slave girls, Daria (Elizabeth Kaitan) and Tisa (Cindy Beal),who escape captivity in a stolen space-craft, but wind up ditching into the sea on a remote planet.

Washed ashore, the scantily clad women wander into the jungle and chance upon the home of Zed, who invites them to stay (because why wouldn't you?); also guests at the tropical fortress are two survivors of another wreck, Shala (Brinke Stevens) and her brother Rik (Carl Horner). However, 'fate weaves a twisted tapestry' as the unexpectedly erudite Daria keenly observes, for their seemingly genial host is actually a raving loony who enjoys hunting human prey.

As straight-to-video B-movie trash shot on a meagre budget goes, Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity isn't the worst, largely thanks to the sheer quantity of skin on show. For most of the time, the babes wear the skimpiest of slave-girl attire (three small triangles of leather and a couple of bits of string),and all three take off their tops at some point, with Steven's getting fully nekkid. Also adding to the fun are the rubbery monsters, Zed's two bickering robot servants Vak and Krel (Kirk Graves and Randolph Roehbling),and just a smidgen of hokey gore (some unconvincing severed heads).

5.5/10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb. By no means a great film, but still a fairly entertaining one.
