Summary: Three women from a distant planet discuss losing virginity and knowledge of "parental units" of same. They crash on an island, and one of them, Xena, is thrown far from the spaceship, losing her clothes in the tragedy. A man who indicates his name is Moon gives her a drink. She has amnesia. The other two women, Sola and Luna, search for Xena and are being watched by cameras. They arbitrarily start dancing on the beach. An obnoxious madman generates virtual reality dinosaurs to terrorize them, and we see footage culled from Planet of Dinosaurs (1978). Lose heart now; this is the end of the dinosaurs in this film.

The two stumble into a camp of frozen women, who gradually dance when inspired by the two with their boombox and their "intergalactic beat." They then resume their search, meeting Gund, a weirdo with a paralyzed neck, and Rock, another supposed caveman. He brings them to his friend Dusty.

After more pointless dancing, they meet up with Xena and Moon. Having learned in Universal Pstchology that "If we hit her on the head, it'll reverse her memory loss," they hit her on the head and it reverses her memory loss.

The "mad genius" James T. Renford II wants to turn the island into a brothel and we discover that the "cavemen" are "yuppies" and can talk but have signed contracts with Renford not to. Renford imprisons Sola, then the other two. The men feel guilty and decide to search for the women, ending up also imprisoned. Renford sneers about cooking them: "I'm gonna hate to give up my vegetarian diet."

They escape and one of the men has rigged some kind of electrical booby trap which threatens to blow up the island in a volcanic eruption. They escape with Gund aboard the spaceship, Renford blows up, they dance, dump the earthlings, and the women leave. During the final interminable credits, we see "highlight" from the film again, mostly dancing.


Commentary: What can be said for a movie that recycles Planet of Dinosaurs footage? This is another "sleaze lite" film that tries to be funny and just makes one suicidal. They call Xena a "blonde" despite her 8-inch dark roots.

Many people would like this film. They're called morons; they all have driver's licenses and lots of free time. I see them every day (or as they would write, everyday).
