Michael Ervin The queen of outer space was certainly a man-hater. The captain of the crashed earth ship tries to give her the Captain Kirk/James Bond treatment, but fails when he takes off her mask. A victim of radiation burns, giving her the worst 'butter-face' ever! "Men did this to me...Men and their wars!" Unfortunately, the queen is revolting, and quite mad. This was always a fun movie for me to watch. It was released the year I was born, and I saw it many times over the years. So silly, but fun anyway. I always enjoy the beginning with the ship caught in a tractor beam from Venus! The same beam that destroys earth's space station pulls the earth ship 26 million miles in a matter of minutes, at least minutes of screen time. As the actors point out, they were unconscious for the trip, and have no way of knowing how long it took, or how fast they went.It is goofy, but I still give it 6 out of 10. Especially for the good- looking Venusian women. Definitely could only have been made in the fifties.

decktop Dear Captain Patterson:Most people who saw you in the Queen of Outer Space think you're a big hero for defeating Queen Yllana. I don't think so.In the scene where Queen Yllana comes on to you, instead of doing your duty and attending to her needs, you decided her face wasn't good enough for you. You had an opportunity to win the Queen over, to work through her understandable dislike of men, and to save the Earth without conflict. You could have established amicable diplomatic relations with the Queen. All you had to do was to put her killer body through its paces and benignly neglect her facial problems.What was your problem? I mean if you are gay that's cool, but then when the Queen indicated she needed to be loved, like everyone does, why didn't you arrange for one of your crewmen, perhaps Lt. Turner to handle the assignment? If I had been aboard, I would have volunteered for some intimate one-on-one time with the Queen. I would have shown the Queen a good time and not demeaned her highness with your childish and pathetic "Oh no your face is too icky for me" routine. After a session of lovemaking, the Queen and I would have had some cuddling time, when we could have resolved the interplanetary problems and had a philosophical discussion about handicaps, about how everyone has them, and about how life is all about adjusting to them. We would have talked about how awful it is that in the movies characters with handicaps and disfigurements are routinely killed off, regarded as inconveniences that don't have a lasting place in the world once their value as a plot device has been exhausted. The Queen and I would have discussed how we could change those harmful attitudes and build a more inclusive and accepting society. After that, the Queen and I would have had another go at it, further soothing her and fostering interplanetary goodwill.What you did instead was to take sides with Zsa-Zsa Gabor's rebel insurgency. You deposed the Queen, caused her demise, and put Zsa-Zsa in charge. In her ascendant position at this pivotal time in America, Zsa-Zsa went on to pioneer the cult of talentless celebrities who are famous for being famous. Without Zsa-Zsa, we wouldn't have the endless parade of people like Paris Hilton and the Kardashians impoverishing our culture. Zsa-Zsa further used her position of authority to put her sister on TV in a show that defined new lows in popular culture and we are still reeling from its pernicious influences.When the Queen beckoned to you, a brighter future beckoned to us all. You let her down and made her cry. You let us all down.Sincerely,A Concerned Citizen

AaronCapenBanner Zsa Zsa Gabor stars(but does not play the title character!) in this unbelievably stupid, poorly made science fiction film(a failed satire of the genre?) A manned spaceship flight to Venus finds it populated exclusively by beautiful women, under the reign of tyrannical queen Yllana, who hates men, and was responsible for leading the revolt against them, exiling the survivors to a penal colony on the moon. Some Venusian women want the men back, and so team up with the astronauts to take down the queen, and stop her from destroying the Earth with a "super weapon" as well. May be good for some camp value, but that is all this turkey is worth.

bkoganbing In the years just before he went into long running Rawhide where he co-starred with Clint Eastwood, Eric Fleming got a shot at dubious screen immortality when he became the leading man to Zsa Zsa Gabor in Queen Of Outer Space. Bad advertising however, Zsa Zsa is not the wicked queen and in fact the queen who is Laurie Mitchell is only Queen of Venus. But the girl has ambitions.They include nothing less than destroying earth long distance with a new Beta dis-integrator ray. Destroy earth and all the wicked aggressive male populace whose women have not overthrown male domination on that planet and have established an Amazonian society such as they had on Venus.But some like Zsa Zsa want men again, they're useful for some things and when earth astronauts Eric Fleming, Paul Birch, Dave Willock, and Patrick Waltz get thrown off course and land on Venus, the guys get involved in the sexual power play politics of the planet.This film is positively hysterical because it's so bad. In any event it was a seminal event in the career of Zsa Zsa Gabor forever sealing her reputation as a celebrity if not an actress.
