6/10
God made some men kings, some beggars. And most women hot, it would seem.

Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity can be summed up in just a few words: 'The Most Dangerous Game', in space, with hot women.

The villainous Count Zaroff becomes Zed (played by Don Scribner, who is like Christian Bale, minus the talent), the island becomes a remote planetoid, and the ship-wreck survivors become space-wreck survivors. Zed mounts the heads of his victims in a trophy room, as did Zaroff, and writer/director Ken Dixon even throws in an homage to The Most Dangerous Game's 'log over the ravine' scene (which itself re-used sets from King Kong '33). Some of Dixon's dialogue is lifted almost verbatim from the earlier movie.

Of course, originality is not the main attraction here: it's bums and boobs that the viewers wants, and it's bums and boobs that Dixon delivers, the film opening as it means to go on with a big-breasted blonde in a bikini being menaced by a cyborg mutant (oh yes, the film has those too, as well as mutants, zombies, and mutant zombies!). The action then focuses on two slightly smaller breasted but no less tasty slave girls, Daria (Elizabeth Kaitan) and Tisa (Cindy Beal), who escape captivity in a stolen space-craft, but wind up ditching into the sea on a remote planet.

Washed ashore, the scantily clad women wander into the jungle and chance upon the home of Zed, who invites them to stay (because why wouldn't you?); also guests at the tropical fortress are two survivors of another wreck, Shala (Brinke Stevens) and her brother Rik (Carl Horner). However, 'fate weaves a twisted tapestry' as the unexpectedly erudite Daria keenly observes, for their seemingly genial host is actually a raving loony who enjoys hunting human prey.

As straight-to-video B-movie trash shot on a meagre budget goes, Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity isn't the worst, largely thanks to the sheer quantity of skin on show. For most of the time, the babes wear the skimpiest of slave-girl attire (three small triangles of leather and a couple of bits of string), and all three take off their tops at some point, with Steven's getting fully nekkid. Also adding to the fun are the rubbery monsters, Zed's two bickering robot servants Vak and Krel (Kirk Graves and Randolph Roehbling), and just a smidgen of hokey gore (some unconvincing severed heads).

5.5/10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb. By no means a great film, but still a fairly entertaining one.
