Review of Lady Terminator (1988) by Brian S — 05 Sep 2012

Holy 80s awfulness... from Indonesia! Most of the fright factor in this flick is carried in the form of a massive mullet worn by a dude named Snake who looks like a cross between Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow, and it's downhill from there.

An evil spirit possesses a graduate student ("I'm not a lady! I'm an anthropologist!") to take revenge on her great-grandfather who stole the magic knife from the spirit's vagina while having sex with her.

This turns the student (who was probably writing a lousy dissertation, anyhow) into an unstoppable killing machine. That's pretty much it. It's 80 minutes of gunfire, things exploding, lasers shooting from eyes, scenes lifted from the legitimate Terminator movie, leg warmers, headbands, men getting shot in the male parts, cornball dialogue, bad acting, and an seemingly endless musical scene delivered by an Indonesian actress who lacks any discernible talent or charisma.

Definitely in the laughably terrible category, and well-suited to a DIY MST3K session.
