What a cast this movie has! Estevez! Stallone! Swayze! Travolta! Especially surprising given this is a micro budget beach movie. Oh wait...wait...my researchers have just handed me a piece of paper - the actual cast is Joe Estevez, Jackie Stallone, Don Swayze and Joey Travolta....does that still count? Linnea Quigley's in in as well, does that make up for this? Well, I'll let you decide. Its about a trio of alien babes who arrive on a Californian beach and a whole bunch of barely interesting things follow. Its also worth mentioning that this one also features a knuckle-headed beach band who play a song called 'I've Got a Woody'.

Tacky, but mildly entertaining early 90's soft core comedy features Xena (Sarah Bellemo), Luna (Tamara Landry), and Sola (Nicole Posey), as three outer-space teenagers. Xena's parents have gone on vacation for a couple of days. Following some persistent persuasion from her friends, Xena agrees to take her father's spaceship for a ride. The end result? They wind up running out of gas in space, and crash-land on planet Beta 45, AKA earth. Meanwhile, teenagers Dave (Michael Todd Davis) and Jerry (Ken Steadman) have come to California to stay the summer with Dave's Uncle Bud (Joe Estevez ) a beach bum who lives right on the beach. The three of them wind up meeting our three space girls who have walked away from the crash without a scratch. Uncle Bud is about to be thrown out from his soon-to-be-condemned beach pad thanks to Sally (Linnea Quigley), who lives right up the hill and used to be in a relationship with Bud. She's also a bikini magnate, and is trying to win a bikini design contest to the tune of, $30,000....exactly what Bud would need to fix up his property, so the girls decide to try to win the prize for him. And that's about it, folks. Knowing that their paper thin plot was barely enough to sustain a feature length movie, the filmmakers subject us to scene after scene of endless beach parties featuring tons of extras gyrating their half naked bodies in the scorching sun. Oh, and lets not forget the sex. There's quite a deal of it. Before I go any further, I need to put this movie in context. It was released in 1993, long before the advent of such soft core labels such as Surrender Cinema and Seduction Cinema. Compared to these newer, edgier, more explicit movies, the soft core movies of the 90's sure seem somewhat mild. When Beach Babes From Beyond first came out in 1993 from the Full Moon offshoot Torchlight Entertainment, it was heralded as the debut release of a label that specialized in "mature audiences" type films. Needless to say, the times have changed. This particular film genre has gone from a few steamy, but brief sex scenes and fleeting glimpses of female full frontal nudity to extended sex scenes that occasionally threaten to venture into the realm of hardcore. Looking at Beach Babes From Beyond again after viewing it upon its 93' release, it's safe to say that if this same film were to be made today, there would be a hell of a lot more emphasis on the sex scenes and less time spent on plot and dialog. As for the sex scenes themselves, they tend to run hot-and-cold. Our three space girls waste no time in getting comfortable with the boys that evening. So each couple gets a soft core scene, complete with annoying slow motion camera work and too dark lighting. They're really not that horrible, and are surprisingly graphic in a few spots, especially the scene between Xena and Jerry that takes place in the back of a trailer. But the one sex scene that REALLY leaves a lasting impression, and causes you to be surprised in its overall intensity, occurs quite early on in the film. Sally is attending a topless photo shot with three of her models posing by a pool. All of the actresses in this scene are beautiful gorgeous, but Nikki Fritz stands out from all the two due to her enormous presence. Remember that this point in her career she had yet to achieve the type of enormous popularity that soon would follow. Her posing nude by a pool leads to an unforgettable fantasy sequence where she shows her soapy body in a tub and then again when walking away from her bath. Walking toward the bed towards a nearly nude pumped up guy in the waiting, we get a full length complete nude scene with her almost heart shaped rear end and perfectly shaped back. It's good that Nikki's back is so muscular as it is about to get a pretty good workout. Nikki spends the next few minutes completely nude with a hunky guy in a variety of positions in a scene that is filmed completely differently than the three other lovemaking scenes. No dark lighting or annoying slow motion here...just two actors in one enormous bed sans sheets and covers who seem at time to be barely acting at all. Nikki's ecstatic body language just goes to prove that few other actresses seem to enjoy filming sex scenes as much as she does. It's really the only time where Beach Babes From Beyond truly delivers the goods. But even without this spectacular scene, I am mildly recommending this film just for the fact alone that it's fairly watchable and never dull no thanks to an incredibly energetic and attractive cast, many of whom would show up in various direct to video features in the remainder of the decade.

Back in the early 90's, when the world of "Skinemax" was just beginning and most of the films back then either starred Shannon Whirry or Shannon Tweed, there was a little sub-genre of the B-movie experience called the "bikini movie." This film, "Beach Babes From Beyond", falls into that category. There were so many "bikini" films made during that period, it was unreal....they single-handedly kept "USA Up All Night" on the air and kept Gilbert Gottfried and Rhonda Shear gainfully employed.

The premise of this movie is simple: take three intergalactic space babes, supposedly on a shopping spree with Daddy's spaceship and Daddy's money, and crash-land them on the sunny beaches of California. That should be it right there....the rest of the movie should deal with them attempting to have sex with as many surfer dudes as possible and go home happily satisfied. Instead, we get a variation of STSWB, or "Save The Something With Breasts." A simple plot device, actually. In order to save a (carwash/hotel/drive-in/old decrepit house) from (destruction/a buy-out/foreclosure/an evil relative), a group of girls get in bikinis and try to raise a certain amount of cash in a very short time. It's a tried and true formula that works every time.

The girls offer to enter a bikini contest in order to raise the money. We need an antagonist, so enter Linnea Quigley, a B-movie legend, to send her legion of bikini-clad models in to win the prize. We know how it ends (the good guys always win, you know), so let's not dwell on it.

I had to pop in the tape of this film again to make sure I gave it the correct grade, and fortunately I did. Here's your chance to see Nikki Fritz before she became a soft-core film staple, and the cast is littered with the relatives of actual A-list actors. I guess riding coattails wasn't enough for these folks, they actually want to work for a living!

This film comes in way behind "The Bikini Carwash Company" in the "bikini film" category. In my opinion, "Bikini Summer 3" is barely (and I do mean BARELY) better than this movie, and that's not saying much.

Women: C (The women were okay, nothing spectacular. They looked like I could walk down the street and probably bump into one of them. In films like these, that ain't good.)

Sex: D (Sex? If you call hugging gently while naked, but no actual movement going on "sex", then go right ahead--but I won't.)

Story: D+ (STSWB movies don't do well with me unless there's a whole lot of slapstick comedy, as there was in "Bikini Carwash Company.")

Overall: C- (Barely a passing grade, saved from failure by Linnea Quigley's funny character, the only one with any real development. Don't get me started on old "Uncle Bud." His "aging hippie/surfer dude" character is too one-dimensional.)

In short, if you're channel flipping and happen to stop on it randomly, then watch it. If not, it's okay....you won't be missing much.

And I'm all for a sci-fi sex comedy.

The boobs are fake, there are these interminable beach dance sequences, and... it's got Joe Estevez. Worst of all, nothing about this movie is funny. At all. Oh man, then they wedge in all these horrible songs (I couldn't find any music credits, probably intentional).

I watched the "uncut" version, running a whole 79 minutes (and I did a lot of clock watching). Everything about Beach Babes From Beyond is gratuitous, and carries on entirely too long. So it really makes me wonder, where does the censorship begin and end, and how much is too much? It is a short movie, full of excess.

I loved the opening credits sequence. Fully naked chick in the shower, for as long it takes the credits to roll. Some nice outfits and bikinis, and that's all I got. Plot is asinine, sub plots come out of nowhere.

I dunno, try Space Babes From Outer Space. That is a genuinely good time, the plot is funny (and is an excuse to include sex), and there are fetching ladies in foxy outfits, as well as various states of undress. Likely done on a fraction of the budget this one had.

As Joe Bob Briggs would say, this movie relies a lot on the actresses' talents rather than their talent. This early 1990's show-the-babes-in-bikinis-fest has very little to redeem it, other than showing beautiful women nearly naked. Joe Estevez, Martin Sheen's little brother, proves once again that his movie career will be nowhere near what his brother's career is.

Avoid this one unless you like watching beautiful women in skimpy clothing. It's about the only thing that redeems it.

Three bubble brained space bimbos decide to visit Earth. They do so by crash-landing their spaceship in California, where they meet three surfer dudes, who for once, aren't totally unlikeable.

All this... action is interspersed with typical boring softcore sex scenes. These scenes could have been borrowed from any other '90s softcore flick and you wouldn't even notice. Some of them don't even seem to feature any of the characters, just random b-actors, ie. out of work male fitness models, and women with breasts that look like they're made out of plaster.

At least with softcore flicks like this one, I know I can stop paying attention during the sex scenes without missing anything, because they always go on a while.

One of the space-babes proves her extraterrestrial origins by pulling a net off her unconvincing 'spaceship', convincing the surfer dude instantly. The dude apparently didn't notice this large vehicle was right there on his right - surprising, considering the net the bimbo pulls off of it is nowhere near large enough to keep it concealed; there is no possible way he couldn't have noticed it.

Linnea Quigley is also in there, as a lady who knows a photographer and hangs around a mansion. She ties one of the girls up, for some reason.

I guess it wouldn't be a b-movie set on the beach without a musical number that just goes on forever. This might be a rarity in that the band is made up of bikini babes as well, indistinguishable from the ones dancing on stage. The awful song drones on for what seems like forever, but there is surprise nudity at the end.

"Beach Babes from Beyond" was directed by David DeCoteau, a b-movie maven who produced a bunch of enjoyable exploitation flicks in the '80s before turning his hand to increasingly homoerotic, mass profuced fair in the new millennium. He is now famous for the awfulness of his contemporary material - which makes "Beach Babes" look capable by comparison - and the fact that all of his movies feature young men in their underwear.

"Beach Babes" is unfortunately not even one of the better of his early period. Perhaps, when this was produced, his best years were already behind him, but he hadn't found a market for his homoerotica yet.

Yes, it was an awful movie, but there was a song near the beginning of the movie, I think, called "I got a Woody" or something to that effect. I would love to find a sound track of that if there is one available. I saw this song on MST 3K, and as awful as it was, it had it's moments, and that song was one of them.

If you like babes in bikinis, this is the movie for you, but if you don't, then don't bother. It was great material for MST 3K, I have to admit though. I would really love to know where to get a copy of the soundtrack though. Not just that song, but a couple more were really funny, and are classics as far as I'm concerned.

Granted, as I sat down here in 2022 to watch the 1993 sci-fi comedy "Beach Babes from Beyond", then I wasn't really expecting a whole lot given the movie's cover. But on the off-chance that the movie would be a cheesy and funny movie, of course I opted to give it a chance.

And I figured that with the likes of Joe Estevez, Don Swayze, Joey Travolta and Jackie Stallone - all being relatives of other more prominent and established actors - then I figured that "Beach Babes from Beyond" could actually prove to be a funny movie.

However, this was a horrible mistake of a movie. I don't know why writers Bill Kelman and Alexander Sachs would write such a movie script. I assume that being randy young adults might have had a factor to play here. And why director David DeCoteau opted to bring it to life on the screen is just simply beyond my level of comprehension. This movie was just rubbish.

I managed to endure a staggering 23 minutes of it, and when that extensive lewd love-making scene was on the screen, I just simply had enough of "Beach Babes from Beyond", and I opted to quit on it, never returning to finish the rest of the movie. Trust me, 22 minutes of nothing happening, aside from showing pointless nudity, and then a lewd love-scene, that hardly constitutes being entertainment for me. I am not a prude or anything, but this just wasn't entertaining in any way.

My rating of this train wreck of a movie lands on a staggering one out of ten stars.

Watched this for the funny casting. I did chuckle quite a bit at the thought of the advertising posters for this clunker. Stallone, Swayze, Travolta, Estevez!

However, the film is terrible. It consists of a handful of scenes, some of which are stretched out to 10+ minutes. Take away the soft-porn sex scenes and 'extras dancing at a beach party' scenes, and you're left with about 15 minutes of film.

Estevez is actually not too bad as the beach bum uncle. The rest of the cast were awful.

I`ve seen this movie twice, both times on Cinemax. The first time in it`s unrated version which is soft-core porn at it`s best and the second time in a trimmed down (cut all the sex and most of the nudity out) version which was entertaining in a typical beach movie sort of way. The unrated version has a tremendous sex scene with Nikki Fritz, a dude and a bottle of oil which is out of this world (no pun intended). Unfortunately, in the trimmed version that scene is almost completely chopped out, as are all the other sex scenes. Rated or unrated it is still fun to watch all the siblings of bigger stars (Stallone, Sheen, Travolta, etc;) trying to act. We also get appearances by B-queen Linnea Quigley and Burt Ward (Robin from the old Batman series).

Patrick Swayze's BROTHER??? Charlie Sheen's UNCLE??? Sylvester Stallone's MOTHER??? John Travolta's BROTHER??? Batman's SIDEKICK??? What's not to love? All we need is Clint Howard, LaToya Jackson, and Ron Reagan to make it perfect.

I recently watched Beach Babes from Beyond (1993) on Prime. The story centers on a group of alien young ladies who crash their fathers' spacecraft on Earth in California while out for a cruise. They meet some young men facing eviction, and the ladies offer to help the boys keep their house in exchange for assistance in getting back home.

This movie is directed by David DeCoteau (Puppetmaster III) and stars Joe Estevez (The Roller Blade Seven), Don Swayze (Evasive Action), Linnea Quigley (The Return of the Living Dead), Joey Travolta (Beverly Hills Cop III), Jackie Stallone (The Appointment) and Burt Ward (Batman).

This movie essentially falls into the softcore porn category, with extended, awkward sex scenes. It's filled with full-frontal nudity, classic softcore background music, and an enticing shower scene during the opening credits. The storyline attempts to mimic the feel-good 80s comedies but primarily serves as a pretext for sexual encounters. The sex scenes are drawn out and may leave even the actors feeling uncomfortable. While the outfits are well chosen, the final "fundraising scene" drags on awkwardly and feels like a poorly executed 90s late-night music video.

In conclusion, this movie is not recommended unless you're specifically seeking a softcore porno film. I would rate this a 3/10 and suggest it only if you have the right expectations.

Take the old hokey beach movies from the first golden era (the next is the 80's) and put the girls in some hot 80's fashions (thongs), throw in some very tame soft-core sex, and play even worse music and you have an hour and a half of great mindless fun! The leg and ass lovers of the world would want to have this in their permanent collection! (Breast men won't be disappointed either). If someone would just do a decent job of this in hard core, I would be in heaven.

If you want oscar level performances in your movies, your brain will have a meltdown if you even attempt to watch this movie.

This was a great movie! It was a completely enjoyable adolescent fantasy. So what makes a movie great? Technical details? I think that if that were the sole criteria, our culture would be the poorer for it. So this movie is to "The Godfather" as new wave music is to Mozart. The point is, it is one of the best movies of it's type I've seen. The women are all beautiful (as are only seen on California beaches when movies are being made). It has a little of everything, a kind of battlestar gallactica meets baywatch meets the playboy centerfold video meets Wayne's World. There is plenty of charm and a reasonable (albeit predictable) storyline that keeps you interested until the next bit of eye candy graces the screen. Joe Estevez may not have his brothers career, but does a good job of bringing focus to the story as the eternally adolescent Uncle Bud. Contains plenty of expected absurdities such as female rock band playing without the guitars plugged in. (Was that intentional?) If you're attracted to the box, rent the video, you won't regret it. As is promised, it is good non-violent erotic fun!

Of course it is silly and there are some annoying performances and a minimal plot that still manages to appear superfluous but it is still likable. Everybody seems to be enjoying themselves and it looks good most of the time. The music can be annoying, about four songs repeated throughout the film, and yet they are pretty catchy. The pre-credit sequence features Mrs Stallone and there is a fine shower scene behind the credits, so things start just as you might imagine and continue. All the girls seem to wear bikinis or less all the time and the guys don't seem quite as goofy or old as they often can in these type of films. Joe Estevez is a bit annoying but Linnea Quigley, past taking her clothes off in this is very good indeed. Biggest surprise of all was during the big bikini contest as we watch the girls writhing rhythmically in close-up, the song, I kid you not seems to be entitled, 'I Got A Woody'. there is no way back from that and all quickly comes to a satisfactory end. Spirited.

Is this a bad movie?

Of course, what were you expecting from a movie called "BEACH BABES FROM BEYOND"?

It is a "BABES in BIKINI" movie and has no pretensions of being otherwise. Given, this is not "A ROOM WITH A VIEW" or "SCHINDLER'S LIST." If you wanted a film like "A Room With a View" then you would not be looking at Beach Babes from Beyond. But if you are looking for a good Babes in Bikini movie with almost no plot, this is the one for you. This flick delivers on what it promises and then some. It is pure 100% adolescent fun.

There were lots of BABES in and out of bikinis. The movie was quite funny and great to watch. These were some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen on home video.

Every high school kid should watch at least one bad movie like this. This is actually one of the most memorable movies I have ever seen. So unashamedly, I say again...If you are going to watch only one "Babes in Bikini" movie, this is it.

Beach Babes From Beyond is a soft-core comedy film directed by David DeCoteau and stars Joe Estevez, Don Swayze, Nicole Posey, Joey Travolta, Tamara Landry, Late Jackie Stallone, Roxanne Blaze, Late Ken Steadman, Michael Roddy and Michael Todd Davis.

Three intergalactic beauties beam down off the California coast and have close encounters with three local beach boys.

A typically mid or small budget soft-core comedy film which will surely be liked and loved by a section of viewers and will be criticized by another section of viewers. For me this is an average soft-core entertainer from which i wasn't expecting much and was fairly git what was expected from these types of films.

A nice soft-core comedy film which certainly has the elements of comedy and also well.. what you've came to see this film. Can be watched once.

The basis of this review is the 2021 Director's Cut Blu-ray.

Films such as this are not to be judged by the rules of mainstream cinema. It may be schlock, but it's very good schlock. Briefly: three young women from the planet Vasquez, out on joy ride to planet Earth, run out of fuel and crash. They soon encounter three young Earth men, get laid, and become immersed in Malibu beach culture. Then they help save a guy's house from repossession by entering a bikini contest.

"Citizen Kane" it ain't. But it works. I've never seen any of the old "beach party" movies, but I would describe this film as an NC-17 version of them.

First, the sex and nudity. Rest assured that this version is completely uncut; in fact, it's even more graphic than the original cable release. This goes double for Nikki Fritz's scene with Albert Mitchell. You'll never look at tanning oil the same way again.

Second, the A/V quality. The short answer is that this new edition is a massive improvement over the old DVD. Colors pop, resolution is excellent, and the "shimmer" effect during panning shots, which plagued the old version, has been corrected. That having been said, there are some issues that should be mentioned. These are not meant as criticisms. Full Moon is to be commended for giving fans this new release. But I do think that potential buyers should be aware of them:

• Minor print damage can be seen throughout (but it never becomes distracting).

• The new (optional) 5.1 sound mix does give a little more oomph, but there are still a few lines of dialogue that are too soft...you can hear the speech, but you can't make out what the characters are saying. By my count, this happened three times, was very brief, and did not impact any character development or plot points. Not to mention the fact that "character development" and "plot points" are very loose terms when dealing with movies like this.

• Because the OAR (Original Aspect Ratio) has been altered, a small portion of the image from at least a few frames is missing. I only noticed this when Dave and Jerry go to Dr. Veg's Health Shack. On this new edition, the top of the sign has been cut off, and now you can only see the words "Health Shack."

I only have one minor quibble with this new Director's Cut; Full Moon did not include the old Torchlight VideoZone feature. A small thing, but it would have been nice. But they did include a massive 90 minute behind the scenes feature. No real interviews here; it's just a guy wandering around the set with a video camera. It was interesting having "fly on the wall" view of the production, and I'm glad they included it.

I liked this movie far more than I thought I would; so much so that I bought the now OOP original DVD (mostly for the VideoZone feature, and because that version has some alternate scenes), and the sequel, "Beach Babes 2: Cave Girl Island." I hope that one day, Vinegar Syndrome can get hold of both, and do a thorough restoration, with all available materials, production stills, etc. Maybe even a commentary with Dave DeCoteau. I will be writing a review for the sequel some time in the near future. For now, I'll just say that while "Cave Girl Island" is not as good as the first movie, I still enjoyed it.

Why did I like it so much? Partly the sexy factor, of course. The women are gorgeous (especially Sarah Bellomo). Another reason is nostalgia; this movie is like a one way time portal back to 1993. But the single biggest reason is fun. Sheer, unadulterated fun and lightheartedness. This is the kind of movie I can watch and forget my troubles for a while. I would recommend watching this along with "Dinosaur Island" and "Bikini Drive-In" (the latter now available on a beautifully restored BD). They share similar themes, and make a great trio, particularly for Nikki Fritz fans. Rest in peace, Nikki. You are missed.

I've scoured the internet looking for the lyrics of the two standout songs in this movie: "Moshin' On the Beach" and "I Got a Woody." No luck yet.

Thanks to Charles Band and Full Moon for giving fans this new edition. On the very small chance that any of you are reading this, please do the same for "Cave Girl Island," and the old TorchLight / Surrender Cinema line.

This movie isn't deep, or well written, or technically amazing. It's not really sci-fi, or comedy. It's jam packed with 'A'-list star's relatives.

But you aren't watching this movie for any of that. You are watching this movie to see moderately attractive women in skimpy clothing pretending to act before they tragically loose their attire and find themselves somehow having sex with some random surfer dude.

The sex scenes aren't great - this isn't porn after all. These are really the worst part of the film as they are totally disconected from everything else and since it's softcore you end up watching several 5 minute interludes of oiled up naked people engaged in foreplay/simulated sex with lighting and sets provided by the local Glamour Shots at the mall.

There is full nudity and plenty of breasts, both fake and real. A vague plot loosely ties this all together so you can pretend you are getting a genuine movie experience. Overall this film delivers everything an example of this genere should. It *could* be better in some ways, but could certainly be much worse.
