BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Michael_Elliott Lady Terminator (1989) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Indonesian rip-off of the James Cameron has a sea goddess using her "female parts" to cut off "male parts" but one brave man stands up to her, pulls the snake out of her vagina, which then turns into a knife and kills her. She swears vengeance on his great, great granddaughter. Flash-forward one hundred years and the unstoppable killing machine will stop at nothing to get the woman.LADY TERMINATOR is a really, really awful movie on so many levels but thankfully it's so incredibly nuts that you can't help but have a great time with it. If you're looking for a more quality type of film then this here certainly isn't going to be your cup of tea because everything here is pretty bad from some insane dialogue to the laughable story and lets not even get into some of the various issues with the actual ripping off of the Cameron movie.It's interesting to note just how much here is actually ripped off. I mean, not only do we get lines like "Come with me if you want to live" but entire sequences are ripped off from the Cameron movie. It's clear that the filmmakers here didn't care and that their end result seemed to be just making sure this movie was more violent than Cameron's. The action scenes here contain all sorts of gunfire and explosions but the amount of blood on display is just great fun for those who enjoy such things. One simple bullet leads to a gallon of blood being sprayed. Not only that but we get some of the weirdest sex scenes that lead to various men's body parts being removed.If you're looking for great performances then you had better look elsewhere. With that said, Barbara Anne Constable plays the villain and she's actually quite good in the part. Not to mention she offers up a lot of nude scenes to add to the exploitation and we all know that this here is never a bad thing. The dialogue itself is beyond awful and it too gets a lot of laughs. LADY TERMINATOR isn't a movie that was made to win Oscars. It's a crazy, non-stop violent and downright silly rip-off that manages to be quite entertaining.

Witchfinder General 666 ***SPOILERS*** "Lady Terminator" (aka. "Pembalasan ratu pantai selatan") of 1988 is a wonderful Trash flick that is both hilariously inept and outrageously entertaining and awesome. The film is basically the epitome of Trash-cinema - of what we love about trash-cinema, that is. "Lady Terminator" shamelessly plagiarizes whole parts of the 1984 classic "The Terminator" and it does not make the slightest attempt to hide this plagiarism. And it does so in a manner that is impossible not to love for a fan of cult-cinema. The film already begins oddly, with an odd quote, and a bizarre 'South Sea Queen' (a sort of evil deity/witch) who kills her lovers during sex in a quite... unorthodox manner. Her 100th husband, however, manages to break her spell by giving her an orgasm and pulling a snake (!) out of her vagina. The evil Queen then vows to take revenge on his great-great-granddaughter, before walking to the bottom of the sea for a hundred years... (Awesomely) Odd enough, and all this happens before the film even really begins. One hundred years later, a sexy anthropology student named Tania (Barbara Anne Constable) decides to travel to the place in the sea, where the South Sea Queen is supposed to reside - and is subsequently turned into an indestructible killing machine with the sole purpose of killing the great-great-granddaughter, who happens to be a sexy bar-singer...The film's storyline is extremely odd, to say at least, and this oddity, as well as the absolutely delightful trashiness. The film is so obviously ripping off "The Terminator" that one could easily call it plagiarism - but so what? Which film would be a better model for rip-offs than the 1984 cult classic, and what would be a greater rip-off than this gem of trash-cinema. The film includes extreme bloodshed and everything else one would desire in a trash flick - sleaze, gore, odd dialogue, weird characters, delightfully inept performances and an enormous amount of camp cult material. Lady Terminator mows down hundreds of people with Machine Guns throughout the film. Funnily, the access to fully automatic weapons is quite easy in the film (in Indonesia Uzis seem to be the standard equipment of every hotel clerk. When not massacring people in places like malls or police stations, the lethal lady (Barbara Ann Constable) kills people by squashing their willies during sex, and does quite about everything that Arnold Schwarzenegger did in "Terminator" (including a self-inflicted eye-operation, and for no apparent reason). The actions taken by everybody else are completely illogical (in the beginning, for example, an elderly man gives Tanja a book that describes the way to the South Sea Queen's residence - even though he is aware of what will happen). Besides Barbara Ann Constable, Claudia Angelique Rademaker makes another nice female lead as the target Erica, the sexy bar singer. The terrible 80s hairstyles even increase the wonderfully trashy 80s flair. Among other odd characters, "Lady Terminator" also features a guy with the ugliest mullet ever caught on screen. Overall, "Lady Terminator" is positively one of the stupidest films ever - and one of the most immensely entertaining at the same time. No lover of Exploitation/Trash/Cult-cinema should miss this gem of camp extravaganza!

Cinemanly Yawn! Some of our fellow IMDb'ers simply don't have a sense of humor. Note previous reviews were so many haughtily sniff about how "bad" this movie is. Well, of course it's bad! But this film brings the old Mae West line to life... when it's bad, it is just so, so good.I was really impressed this Indonesian effort (not "India," as too many IMDb'ers had it) spent the effort and resources that are inconsistent with such outright B-movies. Probably some of it was stock footage, but we've got explosions, car chases and crashes, helicopters, and pure, non-stop action. In addition, the production deserves credit for rounding up the Caucasian actors in an effort to cater to the American market... since the actors were probably speaking the native language in the Indonesian version (there was obviously an English version, albeit still dubbed), I'd guess the call went out to the round eyes who happened to be living in the country. Sure, the plastic pretty boy hero would give Hollywood a run for its unimaginative casting money (where even today's character actors have to look superficially beautiful), but I appreciated the "Lady Terminator," Barbara Anne Constable, very much. Not only did she have the right curves, but she put her heart into the kick-ass role. She certainly lived up to the name of one of the titles of the film, "Nasty Hunter," by targeting the most sensitive part of the male anatomy. I also liked the totally one-dimensional character of "Snake," the prototypical stoned surfer dude. What a boneheaded film... but what a treat.

sirarthurstreebgreebling II And that is a real statement coming from someone who like's Andy Milligan and William Beaudine!A witch has turned into a snake and is eating penis's at every chance she can get for some reason (quite funny) and she has vowed vengance (god knows why) and being a south sea's demon (naturally) she can deliver on her promises.100 odd yrs later and were up to the hilt in the dire 80's, the clothes and hair are the worst offenders and one man sports the worst "Mulett" I have ever seen on film. Into this comes out Terminator clone, she walks around in a crappy jacket shooting people ala Arnie in Terminator, until the "show down".Worth a look once, but I warn you this would make an boiling oil enema seem like a good idea
