Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

DigitalRevenantX7 A trio of alien teenagers – Xena Quark & her two best friends Sola & Luna – take Xena's father's T-Bird space cruiser unaware that it needs an overhaul. Running out of fuel, the ship crashes on the forbidden planet of Beta-45 (what we locals call Earth), landing on a Californian beach. They encounter Dave & Jerry, two young men staying at the home of Uncle Bud Elric, a legendary surfer turned beach bum who lives on the beach. Bud's former flame Sally is trying to force him off the beach & has had his house declared condemned. Bud needs a good deal of money in order to save his home so Xena, who designs clothes in her spare time, decides to help him by entering a bikini design competition staged on the beach.Enjoying massive success with his Full Moon production company, Charles Band decided to create two off-shoots in order to reach a wider audience – Moonbeam, (which specialised in children's entertainment) & Torchlight, which dealt with softcore erotica. Torchlight put out only three films before it went belly up due to a collapsed deal with Paramount. Of the three titles, Beach Babes from Beyond was the first.Beach Babes from Beyond is, when you come down to it, a rather spectacularly flimsy piece of bubblegum science fiction that won't do anything to add to the genre. The film's most notable claim to fame is that it features a lot of stunt casting – everyone from John Travolta's brother Joey (who plays a spaced-out former NASA scientist running a vegetarian food stand on the beach whose skills will come in handy for the heroine's needs); Joe Estevez (brother of Martin Sheen) as the hippie host for the young lovers; Burt Ward (the now middle-aged Robin from that 1960s Batman TV series) as the host of the bikini design competition & in the most eyebrow-raising roles of Xena's parents, Don Swayze & Jacqueline Stallone (mother of Sylvester), where they play with a wanton disregard for seriousness – they even joke about the forty-year gap between their ages. This is so utterly ridiculous that you'll be laughing your head off AT them to the film's detriment.Besides the stunt casting & minimal genre element, the film features a LOT of endless filler shots of beach goers partying on the beach, something that takes a lot of the film's running time & does nothing to move the film. If nothing else, the film delivers on its title promise – alien beach babes.How's the softcore, you ask? Well, the sex scenes depicted here are handled in such a way that you want to kill the editor since the lovemaking is given disjointed shots that rob them of much erotic charge. They also fail to entertain. As a softcore 'comedy' it fails & fares even poorly as science fiction. What a waste.

Neil Welch I am easily pleased. I like bad films. I like films featuring attractive young women in small amounts of clothing.This film gives all the above a bad name. Yes, you know going in that what you're getting is not high art, or anything like. But, even for the type of movie it is, Beach Babes From Beyond isn't very good.Some people have given it 10. I can only assume that these are people who have had the organs which enable rational thought to take place surgically removed.It isn't very good. It simply isn't very good.3 out of 10 solely on the grounds of a) novelty value for the famous relatives and Burt Ward and b) some of the girls are cute.Oh, by the way, did I tell you that it isn't very good?

Smooth B Back in the early 90's, when the world of "Skinemax" was just beginning and most of the films back then either starred Shannon Whirry or Shannon Tweed, there was a little sub-genre of the B-movie experience called the "bikini movie." This film, "Beach Babes From Beyond", falls into that category. There were so many "bikini" films made during that period, it was unreal....they single-handedly kept "USA Up All Night" on the air and kept Gilbert Gottfried and Rhonda Shear gainfully employed.The premise of this movie is simple: take three intergalactic space babes, supposedly on a shopping spree with Daddy's spaceship and Daddy's money, and crash-land them on the sunny beaches of California. That should be it right there....the rest of the movie should deal with them attempting to have sex with as many surfer dudes as possible and go home happily satisfied. Instead, we get a variation of STSWB, or "Save The Something With Breasts." A simple plot device, actually. In order to save a (carwash/hotel/drive-in/old decrepit house) from (destruction/a buy-out/foreclosure/an evil relative), a group of girls get in bikinis and try to raise a certain amount of cash in a very short time. It's a tried and true formula that works every time.The girls offer to enter a bikini contest in order to raise the money. We need an antagonist, so enter Linnea Quigley, a B-movie legend, to send her legion of bikini-clad models in to win the prize. We know how it ends (the good guys always win, you know), so let's not dwell on it.I had to pop in the tape of this film again to make sure I gave it the correct grade, and fortunately I did. Here's your chance to see Nikki Fritz before she became a soft-core film staple, and the cast is littered with the relatives of actual A-list actors. I guess riding coattails wasn't enough for these folks, they actually want to work for a living!This film comes in way behind "The Bikini Carwash Company" in the "bikini film" category. In my opinion, "Bikini Summer 3" is barely (and I do mean BARELY) better than this movie, and that's not saying much.Women: C (The women were okay, nothing spectacular. They looked like I could walk down the street and probably bump into one of them. In films like these, that ain't good.)Sex: D (Sex? If you call hugging gently while naked, but no actual movement going on "sex", then go right ahead--but I won't.)Story: D+ (STSWB movies don't do well with me unless there's a whole lot of slapstick comedy, as there was in "Bikini Carwash Company.")Overall: C- (Barely a passing grade, saved from failure by Linnea Quigley's funny character, the only one with any real development. Don't get me started on old "Uncle Bud." His "aging hippie/surfer dude" character is too one-dimensional.)In short, if you're channel flipping and happen to stop on it randomly, then watch it. If not, it's okay....you won't be missing much.

sleestaker Patrick Swayze's BROTHER??? Charlie Sheen's UNCLE??? Sylvester Stallone's MOTHER??? John Travolta's BROTHER??? Batman's SIDEKICK??? What's not to love? All we need is Clint Howard, LaToya Jackson, and Ron Reagan to make it perfect.
