I decided to rent this after reading a short review from one of my favorite sci-fi authors, John Varley. It's pure camp, with lots of bare female breasts. And the purpose of it is... I think I just said...lots of bare female breasts. What more do you want in a campy film?

There's no plot, just an excuse to get a couple of guys in among the naked girls. What strikes me as amusing is that the guys don't seem to really care much that these women are shapely and naked. All they care about is documenting it for scientific research (such as it is).

Being a very low budget skin flick, one would expect lots of gaffs and errors, and there are plenty if you're bored watching the breasts and butt cracks. My favorite mistake is the fact that the earth is rotating in the wrong direction!

If you like watching the occassional 'B' movie, this is a classic. It's maybe more a "C" movie.
