LET’S GET PHYSICAL: DIRTY BLONDES FROM BEYOND (2012) **

FORMAT:  DVD (REWATCH)

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

(As posted on February 1st, 2013)

On the planet Byfrexia, the evil Empress Krell (Christine Nguyen) has made a machine that creates dangerous storms that threaten the planet.  Her ship attacks Princess Farra (Brandin Rackley) and she escapes to Earth with her loyal bodyguard (Jazy Berlin) in tow.  A drunk sees their ship land and reports it to the authorities and two agents investigate.  Meanwhile the alien babes have never seen an Earth man before, and they become intrigued with their “third leg”.

There’s lots of special effects in Dirty Blondes from Beyond (besides the silicone that is).  The CGI space battles are brief, but they are well done on a miniscule budget.  (There’s even a spaceship chase through an asteroid field.)  But although the effects look like a million bucks (okay, half a million), they aren’t enough to save the movie.

When you watch a Fred Olen Ray Skinamax movie, you at least expect to get a few laughs from it.  I’ll admit, I did get a chuckle over the twist ending where we learn the alien ships run on vibrators, but it’s actually funnier seeing the female cast struggling through the jargon-filled exposition dialogue.  But for the most part, Dirty Blondes from Beyond suffers from a been there-done that feeling.  

Although the film is fairly watchable, the lack of quality sex scenes knocks it down a notch.  There’s a decent Rackley-Berlin scene that features some nice scissoring action, as well as a good Erika Jordan-Christine Nguyen coupling, but other than that; the rest of the sex scenes are pretty weak.  (The Guy on Girl scenes are especially disappointing.)
