Clint Ramsey has to leave his job working at Martin Bormann's gas station and flee after his wife is murdered by psycho cop Harry Sledge, who tries to pin the murder on Clint. Crossing America, Clint gets sexually harassed on all sides by various voluptuous nymphomaniacs, and it all ends in a literally explosive climax.

Supervixens is a trip. There are scenes that I love like Christy Hartburg at the beginning! It's interesting that her image from the film's poster is synonymous not only with the film but RM's entire career, but she is only in the film for less that 10 minutes. A lot of people hate the bathtub scene or think it goes too far but I actually liked it. Alfred Hitchcock liked the scene so much ( and it's nod to the master's Psycho) that he gave Charles Napier a contact at Universal Studios. The film does take a frightening turn and Angel's demise is one right out of a real horror film. I have shown other horror fans this film and they claim that the bathtub scene was the most brutal scene they had ever witnessed. I love Ushci Digard returning to the screen as SuperSoul. There is something so joyous about Uschi, even when she is raping Clint midway through the film. Uschi never seems naked she is always nude, a free spirit. This is not my favorite film by RM simply because it goes on forever and ever. I always get bored at the end. I like the queer overtones of his films but oddly there is no lesbianism in this one... However, Supervixens sometimes feels like a homosexual nightmare. The film centers around a man named Clint who is stalked by the impotent psycho cop Harry, throughout the film Clint is constantly fighting on advances from busty females. When he is raped by Supersoul, he screams, "Let go of my cock!" In the end Harry plans to blow up Clint's girlfriend Supervixen...? Am I the only one who reads into Harry and Clint's screwed up relationship? It may be open to interpretation... Not the worst... but not the best from RM.
Meyer's out of control. It's in his method. Machine gun cutting. Marathon coverage of every scene. More angles than a mathematician's convention. Sweet, sharp pacing. Terrific, over-the-top performances. Sweeping desert vistas. Gorgeous ladies. Hung heroes. What's not to love?I accept that some folks don't take kindly to Charles Napier's stomping to death of Shari Eubank. They cry "Misogynist!" and keep watching. Frankly, who cares what these folks think. It's Russ's movie. Let Russ do Russ's movie. If you don't like it, turn it off, or make your own goddamned movie.There's love in every frame of SUPERVIXENS as Charles Pitts skips town to avoid the cuffs of lawman Napier. Along the way Pitts encounters an s***-load of female trouble, an unhappy husband and an overprotective daddy who wants to nail his balls to a floor. It's all good, dirty fun and Meyer wheels out a bevy of large-breasted beauties who are sure to make Uncle Foamy stand up and tapdance.Meyer is a great filmmaker. He has a skewed, fascinating world view that permeates every inch of his celluloid.His flicks, like SUPERVIXEN, document an era and an attitude.God bless him. And all hail SUPERVIXENS.
The movie follows the hilarious odyssey of a nice young fellow, on the run for one man and an army of very very voluptuous bigbreasted women. The production and the visualization is low budget, but very effective and moody, the humor is really incredibly weird (especially the Nazi-jokes are very sick) and the violence is convincingly sadistic. One of the most exciting films ever made and absolutely Meyer's masterpiece. Nice, nice, nice!
Without a doubt, the first 10 minutes of Supervixens is one of the best pieces of comic film editing I've ever seen. If there's anyone who's interested in figuring out how to quick cut images with dialogue in order to create a comic effect, watch this. Most of Meyer's movies are pretty bad, but there are three that are great and this is one of them. Meyer creates a surreal American landscape, where people are all endowed with unreal sex parts, all the woman bare the title "super", and ex-nazi's are gas station owners. The movie is filled with in-your-face phallic symbols and the scene with Super Angel and the cop is absolutely hysterical. Can't wait until this is on DVD.
