guisreis I wrote this review avoiding spoilers as much as I thought possible, though I cannot consider it spoiler-free. To begin, horrible acting, ridiculous plot and amateur soundtrack are traits of this sexploitation B movie. There is a superpowerful guy (with superstrenght, superspeed, superjump... although not that powerful if compared to other superheroes), Billy, who fights against bad guys. As the superpowers may be transmitted by sexual intercourse, everybody want that semen (that is a very bizarre plot!). To worsen, the supposedly main character, portrayed by Shannon Tweed, is his stepmother but has a crush on him, and he on hers (in the climax, there will be a fog and everything will spin around them!?!). The long-haired superhero in tight jeans fight against the criminals who try to get his semen. The millionaire and handicapped mobster called Roach (indeed, a cockroach is his symbol) has many henchmen, but his main thugs are two dominatrix-style (un)dressed girls. One of them (dangerous master artist Karen, portrayed by Lara Daans) opens the movie with a remarkable "exotic dance" show. Another scene to be highlighted, in this case because it is dire (a B trash kung fu film style scene), is the fight inside the cage between Billy and the two thugs. In the end, when the movie gets even campier, new superpowers arise, such as Electra rays, sharp claws, vampire fangs and hypnotic spittle (everything very bizarre!). To resume: What the hell is the fight between Billy and the wheelchair flamethrower supervillain Roach?! WTF are the two last scenes?!!!! OK, that is enough, I cannot tell much more without telling the story (story?).
calum1980 I can't believe this film is being slated so badly. It's not trying to be a Hollywood blockbuster and it still manages to far exceed most of them. The scene where Shannon Tweed has sex with her son in order to get his super-powered sperm inside her is pure genius. If you're feeling suicidal, this film will give you a reason to keep living. Watch it. This film has Shannon Tweed, A hot leading man, and a pair lipstick Lesbian PVC clad dominatrix types. Something for everyone. The whole film revolves around a lot of sinister people trying to get their hands on the leading man's super sperm. Everyone wants that sperm. You just don't get films like that. It was about seven years ago that I saw this film so I can't remember all of it now. I just remember how incredibly funny and bizarre it was. See it yourself and you'll understand.
underheel This film is so bad, it's good. After all it's not in every film that we are treated to female henchmen dressed in kinky boots and PVC. One of them seems to get a real thrill out of beating up the hero. Seriously though, when you pick up a movie like this, you do not expect Citizen Kane and you shouldn't try to judge it in that way. Electra is a low budget erotic sci-fi action thriller, and on that level it excels. Shannon Tweed is outstanding (well two bits of her) as always, and the two female henchmen are memorable.It's just a shame we were never treated to the promised sequel. Why is this fine movie not available on DVD?
Wilbur-10 Any lover of 50's 'B' movies should tune into this ridiculous, over-the-top, bad-taste film which despite everything is great fun to watch. Shannon Tweed may be limited in her acting range, but for entertainment value give the girl a gold suspender belt in recognition for her services to cinema.'Electra' concerns a wheelchair-bound (and therefore emasculated) megalomaniac called Roach, who seeks world domination in a James Bond-villain kind of way. He needs a serum which can be passed on sexually and Shannon Tweed's step-son Billy (whom she fancies) has the serum in him and they both become the target of Roach's henchmen (and women - there are two particularly appealing, erotic but deadly, kickboxing female assistants).The plot is relatively tight and everything reaches a climax with Shannon Tweed becoming Electra and fighting her stepson's girlfriend for his bodily fluids. Roach meets his demise with an exploding head finale (like Scanners), and everything trundles along happily to a selection of out-takes before the final credits. First rate entertainment - anyone who slates this film should have their video taken off them - they don't understand the meaning of fun.BEST SCENE - Billy's girlfriend has a fight with two leather-clad girls, ripping the heart out of one of them !!!
