Another go at the Sax Rohmer character of Sumuru by the producer Harry Alan Towers. 'The Million Eyes of Sumuru' came out in 1967 and is completely different from this film. This Sumuru is a long, long way from the Sax Rohmer character and is bizarrely set in the future. A couple of fertile men, the last apparently in the universe, land on Sumuru's planet where she queens over lots of scantily women and a few enslaved men. You could write the rest of the film in your sleep.
It is not a good film. The acting by Alexandra Kamp as Sumuru is terrible and what can one say about Simona Williams as her rival Taxan? It is a gloriously bad performance and thus one to treasure. It tops over the top. Michael Shanks and Terence Bridgett as the visitors have nice hairstyles (did they have a hairdresser on board?) but are otherwise bland. There is an annoying child in it who learns how to pilot a 900 year old spacecraft surprisingly quickly and a gigantic badly rendered CGI snake which is poor by 2003 standards. Credit must go to Savanah who plays a dog called...dog and seems to be the only animal on the planet apart from the aforementioned snake. The dialogue is a hoot. Do amazonian queens on distant planets usually say, "Gotta go!"
Apart from the ceaseless amusement that Simona Williams' acting gives it is a boring film.
