Summary of the Movie

Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity is a wild, tongue-in-cheek sci-fi adventure that reimagines The Most Dangerous Game with space Amazons, laser guns, and rubber monsters. Two scantily clad prisoners escape from a space gulag only to crash-land on a mysterious jungle planet. There they encounter Zed, a wealthy and sadistic hunter who “collects” humans for sport. What starts as pulpy cheesecake sci-fi quickly escalates into a nonstop chase full of B-movie charm, practical monster effects, and campy one-liners.

Reception From Fans and Critics

Neither critics nor mainstream audiences took the film seriously on release—but cult fans immediately did. Today, the movie is celebrated as prime 1980s VHS-era cheese, delivering camp, color, and low-budget sci-fi creativity in equal measure. It lives on through midnight screenings, bad-movie marathons, and collectors who adore classic Charles Band/Empire Pictures productions.

Fun Facts & Watching Notes

• Look carefully: many sets and props were reused from other Empire films to keep budgets low, a trademark of the studio.
• The monster suit (nicknamed “the Gorgon Beast”) appeared in multiple Band productions.
• The film originally received more pushback for its title than its content—executives weren’t convinced audiences would take a film called Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity seriously. They didn’t need to.
• On VHS shelves in the late ’80s, this movie’s cover art was practically legendary among collectors.
