buckikris I understand this film was made in the late 1950's, but PLEASE. It begins with a group of astronauts on a mission into space. Something goes wrong and they end up on the planet Venus. One of the hottest planets in our solar system. In this movie it can sustain life. Once they land they scout around, but can't find anybody at first. They they come across a group of women who is led by this masked queen. Once they meet their leader they wonder where are all the men. Supposedly she has banished them to another planet, but has kept some for scientific experiments. The queen is not to fond of men because they love war and at one time disfigured her face. So she has become quite clear what she plans to do. Along with her fellow loyal followers she has planned to destroy Earth, but one thing stands in her way. Women who hate her, Zsa, Zsa Gabor, and other's who want to escape her wrath. This movie is so filled with sexiest references, I could not believe it. I did like the giant spider scene, even though it was comical. In a nut shell there isn't much to this movie except laughs, it did get a fair rating; and I'm surprised it was a 4.6. I gave it a 4, because it is comedy gone wrong, as for science fiction not much to it. So if your into a cheesy mood, watch this.

toddholmes-88883 I liked the closing credits, which introduces the evil queen and her "posse" how is that for predicting the future!

Scott LeBrun In the "future" year of 1985, a team of astronauts - Captain Neal Patterson (Eric Fleming), Lieutenant Mike Cruze (Dave Willock), and Lieutenant Larry Turner (Patrick Waltz) - undertake a mission to escort eminent scientist Professor Konrad (Paul Birch) to the space station that Konrad helped devise. A strange beam destroys the station, and envelops their spacecraft, forcing it to crash land...somewhere. It turns out that they've landed on Venus, where the population is made up entirely of women. They're led by the man-hating, crazed villainess Queen Yllana (Laurie Mitchell). Fortunately, not every woman is on the Queens' side, and a few brave women try to help the men escape, including gown wearing Venusian scientist Talleah (none other than Zsa Zsa Gabor).Fans have debated for years as to whether this was INTENDED to be a parody of science fiction or not. As it is, it's a campy delight: colourful entertainment shot in CinemaScope, with some amusing sets and special effects. (There's also one hell of a hilariously unconvincing alien spider.) It's also hard for any red blooded male to knock any movie that puts such sexy costumes on its attractive female cast. You have to hand it to the Venusians for rocking those miniskirts. It takes quite a while to really get underway, as the "opening" credits don't start until a 15 minute prologue is over. Quite a novelty for 1958. The story - credited to Ben Hecht, of all people - inspired a screenplay by Charles Beaumont that never passes up an opportunity for a sexual joke.Other than the rather dispirited looking Fleming, our male leads look content with the arrangement, and you can't blame them. The performances suit the material, with Zsa Zsa having a bit of a wink in her eye, and Mitchell going delightfully over the top as the antagonist of the piece. Mitchells' character, and others, wear masks that have you really interested to know what they look like underneath. The revelation is effective."Good" fun for fans of 1950s sci-fi.Seven out of 10.

capone666 Queen of Outer SpaceThe upside to a planet without men is no weightless toenail clippings floating about.Thankfully, the gravity on the planet in this sci-fi film is similar to Earth.When they crash-land on Venus, Capt. Patterson (Eric Fleming) and his crew are shocked to learn they're marooned on an all-female planet ruled by a masked matriarch. It's not long until the captain and his men learn of one of the queen's advisor's (Zsa Zsa Gabor) plan to overthrow her reign of misandry.In doing so, they uncover the terrible deeds that lead to man's banishment from Venus, and of the man-made atrocity that marred the monstrous monarch.A B-Movie through-and-through, Queen of Outer Space is not only a cautionary tale about mankind's warmongering, but also a progressive piece of feminist fiction that unfortunately succumbs to the sexism of 1958.Incidentally, banished Venusian males went on to colonize the first gay-friendly planet.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
