Sorry, this movie sucks

Let's be realistic.

A Brilliant Conflict

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The spirit of an ancient evil queen posesses the body of a young anthropological student, who then goes on a murderous rampage. The fact that someone said that it's better than Terminator Salvation this quote basically says it all. The whole storyline was a mix and mess of different things from Ghostbusters to The Terminator but also the acting my god it was atrocious and the film even copied scenes from The Terminator like the end scene where it burns and the police station assault but they were done horribly rather than artistic. (0/10) (F)

All hell breaks loose in Indonesia when an American anthropologist named Tania (Constable in her only credited movie role) travels there to uncover the legend of the South Sea Queen. It turns out the myths and legends of the area are true when Tania becomes possessed by the Queen's malevolent spirit. Before you know it, she's dressed in black leather, has an assault rifle with endless ammo and will go in any public space and begin shooting up the place. When she attacks an up and coming pop star named Erica (Rademaker in her only movie) while she's performing live, a cop named Max (Hart in HIS only movie) comes to her rescue and they go on the run. Ignoring the fact that Tania cannot be killed, Max assembles a team of his finest warriors/buddies and they break out the tanks and missile launchers on her. Because her "spirit is too strong", it's going to take more than brute force to stop this particular reincarnation. But can she be stopped? Find out today! Lady Terminator is a wildly entertaining and fun movie that you just can't resist. It has plenty of exotic charm, thanks to its Indonesian locales and indigenous legends (and a cool 80's look to go along with that), but since the movie was primarily made to be exported, it's interesting to see the filmmakers give what they thought the rest of the world wanted - endless machine gun shooting with super-high body counts, nudity, and off-kilter weirdness a-plenty. Thankfully, this mixture of local culture and international aspirations resulted in a one-of-a-kind movie that must be seen.The movie doesn't skimp on the action, and plenty of our favorite items are on show: screaming while shooting a machine gun (in this case in a tank!), an exploding helicopter, the disco scene (this one in particular is a winner because it mixes in some action to an extended version of Erica's song), some awesome Aerobics clothing that Erica and her friend Marianne wear, and the icing on the cake is the killer acting/dubbing, featuring some memorable lines that deserve to be quoted ("Does this place serve beer or just milk?", "I've seen more dead bodies than you've eaten hot dogs", etc.). It's easy to see why the producers PROUDLY present the movie, as it states in the opening credits. And in case you get confused, there's a few sentences of voice-over narration at the beginning and end of the movie from an unknown, unseen voice. It will send you into a philosophical tailspin if you let it.While Constable does a bang-up job as the Lady Terminator - and her pre-Terminator phase of innocence (her strange insistence on being known as an anthropologist even takes precedence over her gender) - truly the movie belongs to Snake. Who is Snake? He's one of Max's cop buddies on the force, and a more totally radical, awesome dude you have not seen. He wears only tight denim, has amazing hair, and talks like Michaelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There's a name in the credits, Adam Stardust, and we're sincerely hoping that's the guy that plays Snake, but we're not sure. But who else could it be? God bless Mondo Macabro for releasing this on DVD. Their support for this movie made it possible for the maximum amount of people to see it in its correct version, and we truly salute them for it. And there are some nice extras on the disc too. So if you don't own it already, go on Amazon post-haste and add this gem to your collection!

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
