Young-gun
(Young-geun Hong) is a virginal dork who rescues a beautiful woman named Monica
(Eun-Jung Ha) from being accosted using his Kung Fu skills. He takes her back to his place so she can
recover and maybe play a little Jenga.
When Monica tries to seduce Young-gun, he resists. Little does he know, she’s an alien who seeks
a sperm donor to propagate her species. Little
does she know, the poor dope has taken a vow of celibacy and will not give into
temptation, even under the most dire of circumstances.
Invasion of Alien Bikini is an uneven mix of Korean craziness. It sounds like it’s going to be a Sci-Fi sex movie, but it starts out like a lame romantic comedy before turning very dark. The opening Kung Fu fighting scenes are amusing and get things started off on the right foot. When it gets down to the sexy shenanigans, it’s more embarrassing than laugh-out-loud funny. (Young-gun recites multiplication tables and sings the Korean national anthem to take his mind off getting an erection.) Once you find out WHY Young-gun doesn’t want to get horizontal with Monica, things take a grim turn. The Sci-Fi elements are kind of odd too (at one point, Monica’s spine comes out her back and attacks), and the twist at the end is more of a head-scratcher than anything. The whiplash in tone doesn’t jibe and prevents the film from really working.
All this might not have been so bad if Ha got naked. As it is, she spends a lot of time in her bra and panties, which is okay, I guess. I know if she told me, “I need your sperm” repeatedly, I’d do what the lady said and not put up a fight like this idiot.
Overall,
Invasion of Alien Bikini has its moments, but Species this is not.
