Summary: Analglyph stinks, Field-Sequential rocks!
Review: This is a fun movie, I agree. However, I was disappointed with my VHS video, as only certain scenes are shown in 3D, NOT the entire film. (Robot Monster was entirely in 3Din this series.) My coverbox is exactly the same as the one pictured, but I'm wondering if Rhino put out more than one version. The analglyph 3D is unbearable, due in part to the fact that the up/down convergence is way off. I've seen segments of this film in Field-Sequential format on the Encounter in the Third Dimension DVD and it looks beautiful. If only someone would give it the treatment it deserves and put it out on DVD in both 2D and 3D field-sequential formats. If you don't know what field-sequential shutterglasses are, you haven't seen 3D video!!! See: The Ultimate 3D Collection. Now! Go look!

Summary: schlock of the highest order
Review: CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON is a delightful piece of [edit]; schlock was never this funnier or so awful. This film is right up there with PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and THE WASP WOMAN as one of my favorite B-grade cult flicks. Like most B-graders, it was made during the paranoia of the Cold War years.These women should only stay on the moon.... The whole adventure begins and ends in an hour, and concerns a group of astronaughts (including Sonny Tufts, Victor Jory and Marie Windsor) who are on an expedition to the dark side of the moon. When they get there, the exotic lovelies try to de-flower the male members of the crew and generally waffle on like little clones of Germaine Greer. Before you know it, there is a dramatic love triangle between the female co-pilot and two of her workmates, and many more impossible plot twists. There is also the laughable way that the crew discovers 'air' on the moon, when Marie Windsor decides to light up a cigarette!!! Marie Windsor is the main standout in the cast. A perfect scream-queen, she chews up the scenery like an old pro, and would be a shoe-in for the Joan Crawford look-alike contest (complete with "Mildred Pierce"-style hairdo!). Yes, there are few B-grade horror films that so perfectly embody the best (or worst) aspects of the genre that CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON.

Summary: "We Have No Use For Men......Show Us Their
Review: Weak Points, We'll Take Care of the Rest..." This is the finest film ever made.
I must take issue with those who continue to assert the superiority of PLAN NINE and BRIDE OF THE MONSTER over this obviuosly transcendental and significant tale. It is not a reliance on popular cat imagery that rescues this film from oblivion. It is the obvious importance of a voyage to a lost vessel of a planet, populated entirely by Cat-females, which must somehow be rectified or modified by earthlings, that launches this stretch of celluloid into the immortality it deserves. ..and don't think it was easy for Victor Jory and Co.! These cat-women put up one heck of a fight ! So truly, a reorientation of prioirities in the film-world is in order. I have not yet seen the famous DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS. I am, however, familiar with the Ed Wood, and cognate, creations. Few connect up with CAT-WOMEN for sheer relevancy in our day. Where would we be without the catharsis of dive-bombing spiders frightening the likes of Mary Windsor? Or the specter of evil she-demons speaking through her as though through tongues of possession?
Can we honestly admit to a seperation of soul from the desire of the sweeter Cat-Women to date earthmen, and sip coke by the seashores of earth, itself? Who has not felt the frustrations of an amorous Jory, who must ride his affections for the alluring yet troubled Ms. Windsor over the quaking, surging plot of this mighty film? I can, nor need, speak no more. You can surely begin to sense now, why this film is a necessity, and why it transcends other cinematic efforts. CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON has stood too long in the shadows of strong, but lesser efforts such as ROBOT MONSTER. Surely it deserves to stand along side of them. Buy either edition now. I long for the DVD to surface, that I might always have an extra on hand when travelling.

Summary: A new low in movie making
Review: First of all I can't believe Ed Wood had nothing to do with this movie. There are just so many things wrong with it, it's hard to begin. Our adventure starts out on a rocket headed for the moon with a motley crew indeed. A rocket is a projectile, much like a bullet. It has a trajectory and it goes until it runs out of fuel or it hits something. The crew flies this thing with the ease of a bumper car. This is only the beginning. There is some sort of chemical spill when the rocket gets hit by an asteroid. Kip the strong silent type dons a chemical protective suit to take care of the spill with a fire extinguisher(?). Of course the two crew members that help him change into it (in front of a row of metal gym lockers no less) breathe in an unhealthy dose of chemicals as they lower Kip into the danger area. The most pointed out stupidity of this flick is the infamous 'cigarette' scene. You see life must stay on the dark side of the moon. If not they'll be burned to a crisp. This is demonstrated by tossing a cigarette across the light/dark border. The 'Cat Women' get their name from Kip, for that's what he calls them. Let me point out that Kip loves his pistol by the way. While exploring the moon, Kip pulls out his gun as a meteor comes crashing down. He finally uses it effectively against giant moon spiders and fleeing moon women whom he shoots in the back as they flee. The commander Laird is a goofball x10. Marilyn Monroe fans will remember him as Tom Mckenzie from 'The Seven Year Itch'. His leadership skills are questionable as is his interaction concerning members of the fairer sex. Round this out with awful special effects, no point, and a running time of under an hour and you have a real dud. So why the five stars? I happen to be a sucker for terrible movies. I love bad movies. This flick rates right up there with Plan 9 from Outer Space. Awful, awful, awful. I loved it.

Summary: EVERY MAN A TIGER
Review: While it may never win any awards, CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON does often win fans. At once overly written, then totally barren at other points, shoddy effects, bad science and coupled with second rate acting and very linear direction (everyone seems to move from right to left in this film), this is a film most would find hard to love. But it's not without its charms... despite its television running time of 64 mins, and the fact that it was originally released in 3D (presented in 2D on this DVD), CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON has a lot of connections with other B films of the era. The rockets used here will appear again in PROJECT MOONBASE, even the cockpit of the space craft will be redressed and reused for P.B. The SPIDER that appears in this film was one of the most often used B picture props from the 50's - it would also appear in MESA OF LOST WOMEN and MISSLE TO THE MOON - which was a remake (yes, beleive it or not - a remake!) of CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON. The space suits and helmets would make their way into ABBOTT & COSTELLO GO TO VENUS - in the end C.W.O.T.M. is rare film and very fun in its own way. The casual viewer may be put off by it, but for collectors of this kind film this is must for any library.

Summary: Mine came with 3Dglasses
Review: I am not sure what you will get here. However my cover looks the same and it was a little bulky as it came with two pair of 3D glasses. The cardboard type with red and blue cellophane. The Internet Movie Database Ltd. says that it is the Rhino video version is 3-D The spider is more real than the Chiroptera in Bats (1999) ASIN: B00003L9CQ but not as real as the arachnid in Tarantula (1955) ASIN: 6302763835. The people are as real as Queen of Outer Space (1958) ASIN: 0790731207 but not as real as the people in Cat People (1982) ASIN: 630018286X For the price/thrill there is no comparison.

Summary: Bad, but FUN!
Review: This one is right up there with the worst of Doctor Who! There's some insipid sci-fi science (even for the '50s), like handguns on the lunar surface and a cigarette vaporizing when it crosses from the dark side of the moon into the light side (complete with hard-edged line between the two). And there's a rubber spider that's pretty Doctor Who-ish (William Hartnell ran into a giant foam bee along the same lines). The 3D effects do not work, either. But the movie is a must-see just for laughability! It's literaly so bad it's good! And the Catwomen are actually pretty sexy. Well, kinda. Anyway, the price is right, so buy the darn thing!

Summary: Should have included a Field Sequential 3-D version!
Review: Not that many people are aware of the Field Sequential 3-D.
This is a 3-D TV system that uses special shutter glasses that can be purchased here through Amazon in a set that includes 3 DVD's using this process. This system Is the only way to view a 3-D film effectively on TV to date. The result is about 90% close to the effect you will see in a theatre showing.. like IMAX and Disney and Universal.
These glasses are made of sturdy plastic and clear not these cardboard red and blue pieces of garbage, so you can view the film without constricted to seeing red and blue colors and with this system you will see more actual 3-D depth with the films true colors.. It's really amazing!
For some add reason the big studios haven't adapted to include a separate version of a 3-D title in this great format.
Films like:
"House of Wax","Kiss Me Kate","Friday the 13th Part 3", "Robot Monster, "Cat Woman on the Moon", "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and "Jaws 3" are all now in 2-D DVD, but were originally shown in 3-D and could have been included using the Field Seqential 3-D system on the same disc with the 2-D version.
In Japan in the late 80's there were a few 3-D titles released using Field Sequential 3-D and can be found on e-bay converted to DVD and VHS.
Why aren't the studios producing these now!
I boycott any film DVD release that was originally intended to be seen in 3-D that's only presented in a 2-D version or anaglyph (Red and Blue Glasses). The studios should really be awaken to this great 3-D system.

Summary: Where do you start here?
Review: OK; let's try. Take cheesy special effects, a totally illogical plot, bad scenery, Victor Jory and Sonny Tufts, for God's sake, then toss in Marie Windsor in all her bad girl/B movie glory, and finally all these women in leotards and black stockings that do strange dances. How could you not want to own it??
