This one from the Philippines will either make you cry or laugh your head off. You'll see. We should compliment the sultry Leigh Christian, who stars and spends the whole film wet, shiny, and clad in a bikini. She'll also have one of the best catfights in movie history with sultry redhead Lenore Stevens. Director Eddie Romero, we've done many of his films on this blog, knows how to use cheese in his films. Ms. Christian seems all too happy to give the camera a great view of her groin...now that is an empowered actress! Our feature today is 1973's "Beyond Atlantis."
Let us discuss Syrene first (Christian). She is the Princess at this uncharted island that is host for cast-offs from Atlantis. Her dad, Nereus (George Nader) orders her to mate with a non-native. See, all the natives, except Syrene, are bug-eyed mutants. Sure from the neck down the women are babes and men are hunks, but those bug eyes are difficult to overlook. Syrene's pickings are not great until a band of criminals and assorted others arrive. Eddie (Sid Haig) wants the valuable pearls in the waters of this island. His partner is hunk Logan (John Ashley). They hire a diver, Vic (Patrick Wayne), hunk. Oh yes, the sultry redhead anthropologist Kathy (Stevens) forces her way in on this. She is fascinated with the possibility of discovering the last lost tribe of Atlantis.
The intruders arrive and begin collecting pearls. Syrene sees an opportunity to mate with a non-mutant in Vic. Uh oh...Vic has no interest in her. Syrene is not happy and will see Kathy and Vic frolic and probably have pre-marital sex underneath the water...a very gratuitous scene topped only by Syrene's underwater scene with her kicking legs and thrusting pelvis. Now Syrene wants to kill Kathy...women! Eddie and Logan get greedier and refuse to leave without more pearls. A war is brewing between natives and criminals. A more interesting war is brewing between Kathy and Syrene. The catfight promises bikinis, wet bodies, pulling hair, and arousal.
Will Eddie and Logan make off with the mother lode of pearls? Will either babe murder the other one? Will Vic, our hunk good guy, end up with both babes or will he have to settle for the winner? The ending will surprise you. For a gratuitous good time, and some great cheese behaving badly and seductively, see "Beyond Atlantis."
