Russ Meyer's Supervixens

Interesting story, even though I didn't think there would be one . Good looking ladies and a good diversion from the problems of today.

4k looks great, but bulk paper packaging didn't prevent damage to one of the 4K case.

The WEIGHT is finally OVER!

Russ Meyer’s Supervixens (1975) is a riotous, larger-than-life masterpiece that epitomizes his unapologetic blend of sex, violence, and surreal satire. This Technicolor fever dream follows gas station attendant Clint Ramsey (Charles Pitts) as he’s pursued by a string of voluptuous women and a deranged cop (Charles Napier) after a wrongful accusation of murder. Packed with Meyer’s signature visual flair—exaggerated close-ups, rapid-fire edits, and jaw-dropping landscapes—the film is a gleeful assault on the senses, elevated by the unforgettable performances of Shari Eubank as SuperAngel and Uschi Digard’s explosive cameos. Supervixens is Meyer at his peak, weaving cartoonish excess with biting commentary on American machismo and sexual repression, creating a cult classic that’s as provocative as it is hilarious. Its anarchic energy and unbridled creativity make it a standout in his filmography, a testament to his genius for turning exploitation into art.For decades, fans of Russ Meyer feared his films, including Supervixens, would languish in obscurity, trapped in murky transfers due to the labyrinthine legal and archival hurdles surrounding his estate. After Meyer’s passing in 2004, The Russ Meyer Trust maintained a fiercely protective grip on his catalog, wary of entrusting his meticulously crafted works to labels that might mishandle their restoration or legacy. Combined with tangled distribution rights and the high cost of restoring 35mm prints, the prospect of 4K editions seemed unattainable, leaving devotees to settle for outdated formats. Severin Films’ miraculous partnership with the Trust has changed that narrative with their breathtaking 4K UHD release of Supervixens.Scanned from the original negative, this restoration is a visual triumph, with radiant colors, impeccable detail, and HDR10 grading that amplifies Meyer’s vivid aesthetic. Though the extras are slightly lean, the disc’s pristine transfer and reverent presentation are a dream come true. Severin’s achievement is a beacon of hope, and one fervently wishes their stellar work convinces The Russ Meyer Trust to collaborate on more of Meyer’s catalog, bringing his audacious vision to new audiences in glorious 4K.
