Spend the afternoon watching a 1979 British Sci-fi sex comedy “Spaced Out” after a search for something to watch along that line. It’s a simple premise a broken spaceship lands on Clapham Common in South London with an interesting crew of three sexy female aliens all humanoid it wouldn’t work otherwise. With sex involved, the aliens have to look good it’s monster aliens that come to kill.
Being a comedy/borderline soft-core porn the aliens come from a world where there are no men and find themselves totally fascinated by the strange anatomy, whom are none too reluctant to demonstrate to them what it’s all about.
Meanwhile our star of the film Barry Stokes, Oliver as parked up at the edge of the said park chancing his luck with his uninterested girlfriend who has curtains on her mind. The spaceship lands in the park very Doctor Who and very British at the spaceship the earthlings gather, Oliver and his girlfriend, a dog walker who every time he looks at the girlfriend sees her in stockings and suspenders you get the picture and some young guy a possible virgin and like you do they just walk into the spaceship.
These aliens are hot, seventies hot and who wouldn’t love to find a UFO with a crew of dolly birds. I think I may have had that dream a few times.
The young guy was the first to make contact with the large breasted alien all on show and after she frisks him she notices something rising … get the idea, where this film is going. The stud of the three is soon warn out and begging for a rest and Oliver finally gets his girlfriend between the sheets.
The aliens are young, gorgeous, sexually curious, and not afraid to experiment with human reproductive techniques (all in the name of scientific discovery, of course!). It's actually done tastefully making a joke of the fact that the man they become crazy about is young Willy. The self-confessed virgin with mild acne whose only sexual experience is masturbating while reading porno magazines.
Only in British sex comedies do you have young spotty boys like Willy managing to seduce voluptuous females who wouldn't be caught dead with them in reality! Of course, this is all part of the appeal of these movies, isn't it?
Ava Cadell, who plays the ship's engineer Partha, was one of the reasons I was keen to watch the film and deserves the most praise of all the women in the film... she manages to be kooky and sexy at the same time and even helps drive the plot every so often.
Yes, it's cheap, juvenile, and crude, but I liked it has sort of an oddball charm and good nature making it enjoyable, well at least to undemanding numbskulls like myself. There was a lot of lost potential for big laughs but it’s not without its share of moments, in particular a scene where the aliens are arguing over exactly what the humans in the porn magazine are doing.
Sexploitation sci-fi epic!
