Product Description

Amazon.com

Mars Needs Women is as bad or as good as its title suggests--either way, you're going to marvel at this mess-terpiece. The red planet has a female shortage due to "a critical recession of the Y chromosome," so Tommy Kirk (stalwart of '60s Disney flicks) leads a trio of fellow Martians to recruit fertile Earth chicks, including a stripper (of course), a stewardess (er, flight attendant), and a brainy reporter (the latter played by Yvonne Craig of "Batgirl" fame). Filmed in Texas on a budget of (apparently) a few hundred bucks, this bad-movie milestone incorporates Air Force archival footage, a time-capsule glimpse of Dallas nightlife (you'll spot The Fortune Cookie on a marquee), and plenty of Martian snobbery about "the environmental naiveté of the Earthmen." To say it's all a hoot is an understatement; Mars Needs Women is an enduring artifact of the pre-Easy Rider era--a drive-in disaster that won't (and shouldn't) go away. --Jeff Shannon

In reading some of the reviews, it's obvious to me that naysayers are totally missing the boat - or spaceship - on a movie like MARS NEEDS WOMEN (Azalea Film Co., 1967). Who would ever go into this Z-grade sci-fi flick expecting it to be something more than what it is? Kept in the right context, this thing's a lot of fun - the kind of "don't take it too seriously" mindset that today's film industry is incapable of producing anymore. It seems that nowadays every movie - no matter how silly it REALLY is - tries to masquerade as being oh so relevant to the point of nausea. Audiences accustomed to inflated budgets, inflated star egos, inflated running times, and inflated special effects expect a movie to have an inflated storyline as well. In the 1960s there were still some movies that were made to just lay back with and enjoy. People knew MARS NEEDS WOMEN wasn't meant to be thought of in the same league as a big, serious production from a major studio. Today, people are so 'sophisticated' that they can't tell the difference.

The plot of MARS NEEDS WOMEN is about a group of horny aliens who come to Earth in search of fertile females to take back to Mars. That's it??? Yep, that's it. Sorry to disappoint all you message-seeking intellectuals. Now that I've succeeded in 'alienating' about 75% of my readers, I can say to the rest of you that this movie's main attraction is Yvonne Craig as a brainy, bespectacled babe who is endeared to fans as Batgirl from the iconic '60s BATMAN TV show. The main Martian is played by teen heart-throb Tommy Kirk, whose deadpan earnestness works toward, rather than against the premise. There's some priceless unintentional humor throughout, particularly in the exchanges between the sarcastic TV newsman and the harrassed NASA Colonel. The stock computer communications sound effect that's laid over shots of famous world landmarks as news of the aliens spreads is hilarious. The best scene is at a press conference where Craig, the only woman present, becomes irritated with the sexist cracks of the reporters and threatens to end the interview if they persist.

Besides Craig, there's other comely maidens galore which, after all, is the whole point of this drive-in cult classic. It's supposed to be a cool combination of '60s sci-fi and go-go girls. The shoestring budget that writer/director Larry Buchanan was working with (the film was shot in 16mm) prohibited elaborate sets and special effects, necessitating location photography in and around Houston, Texas. This gives MARS NEEDS WOMEN a great nostalgic feel and captures the era in authentic detail, a characteristic akin to many cheapies. The effects definitely are cheap, but they work with the tone of the film. As zany as it is, MARS NEEDS WOMEN contains some genuinely interesting scientific rhetoric, and manages to put across a poignancy regarding the budding but ultimately doomed relationship between Craig and Kirk that isn't out of place.

MGM Entertainment's DVD of MARS NEEDS WOMEN is gorgeous, fully reproducing the original color saturation of the 16mm stock. For those of you 'broad' minded enough to enjoy this type of campy fare, you won't be sorry. It only improves on repeated viewings. It's no 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY to be sure, but MARS NEEDS WOMEN is its own psychedelic trip that can be appreciated from the other end of the ever wide sci-fi spectrum.

I was hoping this would be campy fun in the vein of Invasion of the Star Creatures, but really, the title is the best part. The rest of the movie is just people standing around delivering exposition, or sitting in meetings, and not a whole lot really happens. Yvonne Craig is in it, but has a fairly small part, and isn't given much to do. Just a dull disappointment all around.

5.0 out of 5 stars old yeller's owner and batgirl in a space age love story!!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2001
This movie is so much fun. I didn't think I was going to be able to get through it, when I sat through 16 minutes of stock footage from the US airforce. I couldn't turn away! it just gets worse and worse! Men glare at hot young things and strippers twirl, but the fun is just beginning, cuz MARS NEEDS WOMEN!!!
The only thing I didn't like about the dvd itself is that the transfer is pretty bad. Not up to par with the only midnight movies that have been released in the series. It is only in pan and scan which for once is fine with me, cuz I didn't need to see the ample body parts of the women all over the screen. There wasn't a trailer. I think I will watch it again tomorrow and see if I can sit through it again. No matter what I tell you, you have to see it to believe it.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst films I have ever sat through even with Yvonne Craig in the film
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2014

I will admit right away that the main reason I paid to see this film was because of beautiful Yvonne Craig. I am not faulting Ms Craig in any way. She was easily the highlight of this 'movie'. I knew it was going to be a very shoestring budgeted movie that would have terrible special effects. I even saw the trailer for it on youtube. So, it's my own fault for getting this movie in the first place. But I have to honestly admit that the ONLY thing that saved this movie in any way was Yvonne Craig. She was the only believable actress in the entire movie. It was slower paced than most any movie I have ever tried to sit through. With some simple but careful editing, the running time of this movie could be cut from 90 minutes to about 30 minutes without missing any major plot points at all. I can't believe this movie is even considered to be a 'cult classic' in any way. If you are a Yvonne Craig fan like me you can certainly choose to purchase this mess of a movie but it's just as well watching her on Batman. She even wears her hair exactly the same as she does as Barbara Gordon in Batman. Only in Batman she turns into the gorgeous form-fitting 'Batgirl' who is very pleasing to the eyes rather than this complete mess of a film. Be your own judge if you want but I would say don't bother with this one. It wasn't even worth the lousy $5.00 I spent to purchase it.
