SEX GALAXY

 

Talk about recycling, eh folks? Director Mike Davis who helped bring us the sexified neo-grindhouse cult film “Pervert!” follows up with the utterly ridiculous “Sex Galaxy,” a film comprised of 100% public domain and stock footage to tell us the story of a future where folks have to travel thousands of miles in to space to get their sexual pleasure. While Davis’ declaration that this is the first movie made up of all stock footage and public domain clips is not exactly true (“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” comes to mind), “Sex Galaxy” does manage to be more original than most indie films out there. The integration of voice acting with public domain footage and stock shots is almost seamless, and “Sex Galaxy” introduces us to yet another really hot buxom blonde: Puma Swede, who voices the sex Martian queen Willa.

I was very hesitant in approaching “Sex Galaxy” since experiments like this are almost always completely flat reaches for originality, but director Davis and Fitz’s very competent editing makes the combination of footage a formula for innovation. There are Sex Ed movie clips, stag film bits, and even a chunk of “Voyage to the Planet of the Prehistoric Women” that manages to introduce a robotic pimp that interrupts our Martian men in their efforts to persuade the aliens to pleasure them.  

“Sex Galaxy” is a part tongue in cheek commentary mixed with an endless slew of innuendos and entendres, and though many will be compelled to turn this off after the fifteenth sex joke, I think folks more accustomed to what Stag films aims for will appreciate the wonky method of telling such an unusual story with a shameless array of vaginal puns and riffs on the bad acting in the footage. I’m glad Davis tries for more creativity with this independent film rather than go for yet another typical independent comedy with bad sets or acting. This is the company that gave us that wild bastard child of Russ Meyer “Pervert!” after all. Mike Davis takes the considerably paper thin premise and pulls off some surprisingly genuine laughs, with some great running gags. I don’t know what the hell Stag films is going to do next, but I’m rather excited to see what.

It's weird, it's surreal, and the audience for this will be split down the middle, but it's inventive, funny, entertaining, and really does manage to express what the unique vision Stag films and their crew push for.
