    • Goofs
      The instructional insect video states, "Examples of the female killing the male during mating are numerous in the insect world." Immediately after this, it states, "Here, the black widow awaits..." The black widow is a spider, and spiders are not insects.

      Neil Agar: [to Stan] You're the geneticist, aren't you? Can you cross a man and a horse?

      Stan Williams: You're asking me?

      Neil Agar: Yes.

      Aldo Ferrara: I told him you'd get a centaur - mythologically speaking.

      Stan Williams: [irritated] Realistically speaking, you'd get a summons for bestiality. Come on, Agar, what's with the asinine questions?

    • Alternate versions
      The recent MGM DVD is missing footage. Part of the scene where Beverly Powers (Hills) seduces her man is missing, deleting some of her nudity. This may have been due to damaged materials used to create the DVD, as the scene is intact on the old VHS (and on two budget DVDs that used the VHS for their source). The MGM version looks the best this low-budget film has ever looked, but the missing footage rankles. The same incomplete print runs on pay cable and MGM did not fix the problem and reissue the DVD.

    The Bee Girls

    Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973)

    ** 1/2 (out of 4)

    Cult classic science fiction film has a bunch of beautiful women killing men with sex. This film has a rather notorious reputation for its camp value and it certainly lives up to those standards. If you're wanting something serious then go check out The Day the Earth Stood Still as you aren't going to find anything serious here. The film is pure exploitation that only a drive-in could deliver and the movie features plenty of sex, naked women and wacky violence. Even better is some insane dialogue that will certainly make you laugh out loud. The actual story gets boring after a while and I'm sure a little editing would have helped.
