Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I actually saw this on Netflix streaming movies, but it is streamed through my Wi-Fi Blu-Ray player. I watched it for the novelty, I didn't expect it to be good and it isn't any good.The silly premise is a low-budget film company are making the ribald movie, "Bad Girls From Mars", and as the story progresses certain cast or crew end up dead. The killer always leaves a 4-line rhyme, but it is a bad rhyme, ignoring the actual rhyming word and putting something else at the end.Even though it is a low-budget production, they have managed to hire a well-known stripper, and it is played by Edy Williams as Emanuelle, a lady with no boundaries and who likes to bare her chest any time she gets the chance. Now I had no idea who Edy Williams was, and I thought "she looks kind of old for this role." Later I found out she was almost 50, and when she was in her 20s rivaled such stars as Jayne Mansfield and Rachel Welch. So this low-budget film of a fictitious low-budget film is just a spoof of other films. There are lots of sexual references, several fairly attractive girls who take their tops off. And they really do solve the murder mystery at the end.Very campy, very poor acting, probably purposely.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* I bought this video for three bucks. "Bad Girls from Mars". Now there's a title that shows promise. I saw that Jay Richardson was in it and got excited. Where Richardson goes, naked breasts are sure to follow. I was ready for some cheesy, breast-filled sci-fi action. It turns out that I was only half-right in my expectations. "Bad Girls from Mars" is really a spoof of low budget film-making. The B-movie filmmakers are trying to make their epic "Bad Girls from Mars" but their leading ladies keep getting killed by a bad poetry writing maniac. They decide to bring in a professional. A large breasted blonde, (Edy Williams), shows up and takes her top off regularly. They know they've found the right woman for the job. Many more women will go topless before they get this flick in the can."Bad Girls from Mars" is fine Saturday night entertainment. I know this because I watched it on a Saturday night and it was fine. While it's not a sci-fi flick or have anything to do with Mars, they are plenty of bad girls. Brinke Stevens shows up as the costume girl. She doesn't join the topless parade but does sun herself by the pool. So that's nice. There are about four women who go topless and Edy Williams usually ends up without a shirt on in most scenes she's in. The guy playing the cop was funny and Richardson was on target as the egotistical leading man. "Bad Girls from Mars" is fun. I had a good time.

Spoofs of films only work a small percentage of the time. Very often the spoof is too much like the film it is trying to spoof. "Mars Attacks" is a good example of this problem. "Bad Girls from Mars" is a low budget spoof of the making of a low-budget campy film, and surprisingly it works.Everything is hokey, but it is all making fun of the genre. It is sprinkled with some dialog gems. Academy award material it ain't, but if you put yourself in the right mood, it is a lot of fun

On my quest to see everything famed B movie actress Brinke Stevens has been in, I bought a copy of Bad Girls From Mars.Bad Girls stars Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls' Edy Williams and Jay Richardson from multiple other Brinke Stevens films.Starting off on the set of a movie (a campy b movie about beautiful female aliens trying to take over the earth) it looks good. The first scene seems so funny that I thought I was in for a treat.Unfortunately that was it as the director of the movie shouts out 'CUT' and the movie stars revolving around the cast and crew that are making this film.The movie turns into a serial killer movie about the lead actresses. All of them seem to be getting murdered. Enter in Edy Williams as the new actress.Some mild who dunnit, lots of Edy Williams disrobing and that's about it for this movie.
