2069 : A Sex Odyssey (1974)

These 70's sex comedies sure can be a rough sit. 2069: A Sex Odyssey is pretty painful all the way through. The general idea is to make a movie that is sexy and funny at the same time. This one manages to fail in both categories.

The famous saying men are from Mars and women are from Venus proves to be only half right in this German sexploitation flick.

Venus is populated by women in shinny helmets and sparkley makeup. They head to planet Earth to find men and learn the purpose of the sex organs.

Well the alien babes make their landing and they do find men. Some get naked and some we wish would just leave their clothes on. There really isn't to much going on here in the writing department. The plot is paper thin and my 77 minute version feels like it drags on for a lifetime.

There were a whole slew of these softcore and hardcore Star Wars influenced exploitation flicks made but 2069 : A Sex Odyssey is probably the worst I have seen to date.

For a much better time you might want to check out Wham Bam Thank You Spaceman which would come out one year after the release of this piece of trash. That one offers up some laughs and the naked female flesh is much nicer to look at as well. Or you could always check out Ultra Flesh for some hardcore intergalactic fun with Seka and Jamie Gillis. Even Louis De Jesus from Blood Sucking Freaks shows up in that one for some under the table sex antics. This movie on the other hand has nothing to offer but a wasted hour or so and a Shelly Winters look alike who has the audacity to take her swinging utters out. Plus the whole thing takes place in the snow. The naked women look as misserable in the cold as I was watching it.

  2. When I was a kid, my friends and I would always walk by the box for this at the video store and snicker at it. We wanted to get it but were too embarrassed to take it up to the counter because of the title. I STILL haven't seen it and your review will probably keep it that way!

  3. I fell victim to this movie because of my out of control obssession with exploitation movie trailers. I praised the trailer for this movie for years and when I finally got around to buying it... Well, you read the rest.
