Astrozon!
Warrior Women in a world without men
Allegedly this series were marketing stills from the 1967 film Astrozon. A limited release drive in movie from the production house CAMA, directed by Roger Cormen. The film was spoken of very favourably by the few who saw it. A contemporary art-film magazine critic is quoted as saying ‘This is one of the best examples of this kind of trash ever made…. if you like this kind of trash’.
All remaining 35mm films were coincidentally destroyed in two fires. The first copies were destroyed by a fanatical Pentecostal Preacher in what became known as the ‘Arthouse Fires’ in 1969. Most recently in 1975 during a spontaneous celebration of the death of Spain’s fascist dictator, Franco, when a firework set fire to the warehouse.
If as much care had been taken over the plot as there was with the costumes, who knows, Maybe ASTROZON would have made into cinemas?
US-USSR Joint Mission
The story goes……Conceived in a dimly lit jazz bar in a New York and inspired by the vision of the caged go-go dancers. Two drunken exec. types hashed up a plan to revitalise the flagging space race of the cold war era. Kissinger’s ‘detente’ had dulled peoples hunger for space, but the exec’s temporary altered reality, coupled with the time honoured notion that ‘sex sells’ led to the inspired foundations of ‘The Joint Mission’
Pulling a few strings with Russian business contacts the pair proposed recruiting a joint US – Russian all women squad of hopefuls. Super smart, super confident, fast learning, well qualified but above all else smokin’ hot! Seven seats on the mission were chosen in what was probably the first of the reality TV knock out competion genre. Space was suddenly sexy again.
A whiskey, a go-go cage and a vivid imagination. The rest is history… or is it fantasy.
B-Movie Beauties
The work of the four rogue film directors that were CAMA ( an acronym created from their surnames ) back in the day, would not be remembered by B Movie aficionados today, but for the work of a group of film nerds who set about preserving and digitising the 35mm clips that were so nearly lost in a series of fires.
The B-movie beauties stand as testament to the skills of the casting directors and costume designers, if only the same could be said of the scriptwriters.
Where are they now? The starlets of such classics as The Failsafe Five, The Tempo-nauts, Time Raiders, and Starbound.
Super Curvy Cosmonauts
The selection process on the Soviet side of the Joint Mission was complicated and riven with politics. The Military, The KGB and the Olympic Committee all competing to place their own women within the program.
In the end strength requirements pushed by the Military and Olympic Committee, favoured bigger girls who looked less like the fashion models favoured by some in the Kremlin.
Two stood out head and shoulders above the others and made the final mission. One blonde, one redhead. Affectionately known as ‘Bomber Blonde’ and ‘Big Red’. Who wouldn’t like to orbit the earth a few times in the company of these beauties?
