Gas station attendant Clint Ramsey, who works at Martin Bormann's Super Service in the desert, finds himself too irresistible to a series of girls, all of whom have the word "Super" in their given names. In the beginning, he is married to the hypersexual, demanding, and jealous SuperAngel (Shari Eubank), who constantly harasses him at work. She ord...
Charles Pitts as Clint RamseyDevelopment
Meyer's previous two films had failed at the box office - The Seven Minutes was a straight drama about censorship, done for 20th Century Fox, and Black Snake was a blaxploitation film. He originally intended to follow this with Foxy starring his then-wife Edy Williams but the marriage ended and "I just couldn't picture myself making twenty films starring Edy Williams".He was also worried about the Supreme Court decision against pornography. "Those years were very confusing to me," said Meyer....
Scripting
Meyer said the film "was a little bit autobiographical" but also which "borrowed liberally from a number of people I knew". He said he was also influenced by the stories of Horatio Alger. "They were always about a young man who was totally good, and he would always set out to gain his fortune and he would always come up against terrible people," said Meyer. "They did everything they could to do him in, but he fought fair, you know, and he always survived and succeeded in the end. So, that's j...
Casting
The cast included Charles Napier, who had appeared in a number of Meyer films but quit acting to become a journalist for a trucking magazine. Meyer brought him out of retirement to do the film. There were a number of other actors who had appeared in earlier Meyer films like John LaZar, O’Luke, Stu Lancaster, and Uschi Digard.
Box Office
The film was Meyer's biggest commercial success since Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, making $8.2 million during its initial theatrical run. "It's wonderful to come back and find that my kind of voluptuous, superbosumy LA Rams-Chicago Bears scrimmage kind of put on sex is perfectlyacceptable to the mainstream," he said. "People want to be amused, entertained and that's what I'm giving 'em." Meyer called it "a very good film" although "people kept asking, "Why did you have to have that bathtub...
Censored Versions
The British version of the film cut a moment where Napier stomped on a woman after killing her in a bath. The R-rated version removed the bathtub murder. "I wouldn't do it again," said Meyer. After the film came out Meyer said "I plan to stick to what I know works and make one X picture after the next and be even more outrageous with sex and keep pushing the boundaries further and further."
Critical reception
Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote that the film "looks sort of ritualistic, sort of perfunctory, made up of actions whose original meaning and purpose have been forgotten ... 'Supervixens' is a curio for film buffs." Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film one star out of four and wrote that "Meyer has lost the sense of humor that occasionally made his films enjoyable. The humor has been replaced with repulsive amounts of violence." Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times said...
As a groundbreaker cultural revolutionaire, Meyer was ever watchful for adding sly remarks about American Society. Especially insightful are these: 1. Meyer makes the cartoonish nature of the film explicit towards the end, when Harry's impending death is preceded by the "Beep-beep!" sound of the Roadrunner, which always introduces imminent disaster...
