Lady Terminator cashed in on the success of The Terminator (1984). It was made in Indonesia and had some troubles making it. Still, the flick looks awful but had some following. By now it's still in the top 5 list of flicks coming out of Indonesia. It surely was hell for first time actress Barbara Anne Constable. She was a professional dancer and model in the UK but took the opportunity to make a flick. It was said due the story (about the South Sea Queen) that it only would be released in Indonesia but it didn't. It was badly overdubbed and crossed the seas to the States and Europe. Barbara wasn't happy with that fact because she had a lot of nudity in it and because pictures became available of her nudity. She had a few near-death experiences by a car door passing her head by millimeters after an explosion. A falling sailboat mast almost killed her and she even died by not seeing an open well and just escaped it by putting out her arms to be saved. But she even walked through real glass in stead of sugar glass ripping open her leg, glass one side in out the other. But people really died, a crew member was asleep when a truck drove over his head. Years later Barbara came beware off the cult following by googling her name. And I agreed, this is pure exploitation with a lot of gratuitous nudity from Barbara. Full of cutting and editing mistakes like the rip-off of a Terminator scene were she removes her left eye but one shot later she is replacing her right eye. The effects used are very cheap and laughable, speeding up the reel for chasing scene's for example. Laserbeams coming out of her eyes. Eels being placed in vaginas with knickers still on ( a thing Barbara didn't knew that they were adding that in the editing room). Boring sex scene's and having intercause with knickers on. Bloody shootings that go on forever and I can go on and on. This is pure exploitation with a cheesy topping. It's even so loved that it will get a Blu Ray release in 2012 and they are trying to get Barbara involved, one to look forward to.Gore 1/5 Nudity 2,5/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Lady Terminator is one of those movies that are so bad you find them great after watching it. The film is full of goofs, nonsense dialogs, bloody shoot outs, crazy car chases, 80's music & fashion, mythology, explicit sex, nudity....I saw it at the International Sitges Film Festival in 2004 and the whole cinema went nuts with Lady Terminator clapping and making fun of the scenes. If you want to have a really good time watch it with friends and make it a double program along Virgins From Hell (another flick gem from Indonesia).

Yawn! Some of our fellow IMDb'ers simply don't have a sense of humor. Note previous reviews were so many haughtily sniff about how "bad" this movie is. Well, of course it's bad! But this film brings the old Mae West line to life... when it's bad, it is just so, so good.I was really impressed this Indonesian effort (not "India," as too many IMDb'ers had it) spent the effort and resources that are inconsistent with such outright B-movies. Probably some of it was stock footage, but we've got explosions, car chases and crashes, helicopters, and pure, non-stop action. In addition, the production deserves credit for rounding up the Caucasian actors in an effort to cater to the American market... since the actors were probably speaking the native language in the Indonesian version (there was obviously an English version, albeit still dubbed), I'd guess the call went out to the round eyes who happened to be living in the country. Sure, the plastic pretty boy hero would give Hollywood a run for its unimaginative casting money (where even today's character actors have to look superficially beautiful), but I appreciated the "Lady Terminator," Barbara Anne Constable, very much. Not only did she have the right curves, but she put her heart into the kick-ass role. She certainly lived up to the name of one of the titles of the film, "Nasty Hunter," by targeting the most sensitive part of the male anatomy. I also liked the totally one-dimensional character of "Snake," the prototypical stoned surfer dude. What a boneheaded film... but what a treat.

And that is a real statement coming from someone who like's Andy Milligan and William Beaudine!A witch has turned into a snake and is eating penis's at every chance she can get for some reason (quite funny) and she has vowed vengance (god knows why) and being a south sea's demon (naturally) she can deliver on her promises.100 odd yrs later and were up to the hilt in the dire 80's, the clothes and hair are the worst offenders and one man sports the worst "Mulett" I have ever seen on film. Into this comes out Terminator clone, she walks around in a crappy jacket shooting people ala Arnie in Terminator, until the "show down".Worth a look once, but I warn you this would make an boiling oil enema seem like a good idea
