Planet of the erotic ape

Roughly for the first ten minutes, there are only rather explicit and cheap lesbian scenes. Meaning that neither the actresses nor the action are anything special. But we’re not watching a porno. Let that be clear. Plus, there are two guys in a small room watching the scenes on TV and occasionally making a comment. Then Julie Strain appears, also involved in a lesbian scene. And amid all this sex, I wonder: but where is this planet? And the ape?

The mystery is soon revealed… more or less. Well, there's no ape, but there’s the usual guy wearing a pretty poorly made costume. The planet is one of those places in the United States. Obviously.

Then it's revealed that the two guys watching TV are: a mad scientist and his friend/assistant. They’ve invented a remote control that lets them watch porn TVs from all over the galaxy, and then, almost by magic, they find themselves transported to this Planet of Erotic Ape.

On this planet, given the premise, men have been eliminated, and the women, led by a wicked leader, have fun with an ape. But the ape, tired of being a sexual object, one day escapes. And the two… well… find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Lou Vockell is an American director who has dedicated his entire career to B movies and watching titles, even very raunchy ones. So, in short, he's someone we like, who has the right attitude. But it must be said that this movie of his is really low-budget, poorly made, and doesn’t even elicit much sympathy. Or, without being hypocritical, if the other actresses, besides Julie Strain, had been high-quality, surely, this review would be entirely different. But it isn’t. And Planet of the Erotic Ape remains a movie for a select few. For the hardcore lovers of trash.
