My review of Battle Queen 2020 is actually an average. 1 star for most movie watchers and 5 stars for Julie Strain fans (hence the 3 stars). The movie is slow, the acting is sub-par, and the plot is ridiculous. However, if you've seen Julie Strain's other movies as I have, this comes as no surprise. I love her movies and with Julie Strain showing off her ample assets at EVERY opportunity, this is a must own for any of her fans. For the rest of the movie going community, there's simply not much here. The plot becomes muddled early on but the director tries to hide this problem by having Julie prance through her scenes half-naked. To keep the story moving, they'll throw in a gunfight or an explosion or two. As I said before, any fan of Julie Strain or gratuitous nudity, will watch this movie (like I did). For anyone else, a rental at best and it better be a free one.

ok julie strain film. but beware an unrated version with about 15 more minutes is around. try to find that version. the cuts in this movie are evident. just when something steamy is going to occur the movie abruptly cuts to next scene...overall good action.

I got this movie because I like Julie Strain movies.
If you like Julie Strain movies then you'll like this movie.
Overall, the most dissapointing part of the movie is that it doesn't have enough action, or Julie Strain kicking butt. And, I would have liked to seen her in a better outfit also. The outfit on the front cover isn't worn in the movie--darn!
The acting was O.K., but needed to be a little better.
The break out star of this movie(DVD) is Eva Dawn Nemeth as Pricilla, but unfortunately she doesn't have enough screen time.
The part that makes this DVD worth getting is the half hour close up of Julie Strain, as she's just plainly interviewed at her house...that's the best part. Julie seems...well at home there.
Maybe she'll do a sequel, and get a better costume, and have some more action in it; that's what I'd like to see.

First, I love Julie Strain but there comes a time to hang up the thong, and give the next breast enhanced Amazon a break to star in some grade Z action flick. Jule was around 40 when this film was released. Still my favorite 6' plus B queen but even with six pounds of make-up on her face - well, I'll be kind. Also, the cinematographer really shot her in an unflattering way. She seems enormous and awkward, rather than sexy and powerful.

The film itself is just terrible, borderline unwatchable. Make sure the remote is nearby for that 4X ff button. My problem with this type of film is, why not just give the audience what they want? Would it really be that hard to shoot and action flick with Julie Strain as she is portrayed on the cover art of the DVD? (...) Why do these films ->always<- have to be so boring, bad, unimaginative, and uninspired?

Exploitation films used to be fun - many were down right good! And they were shot with lower budgets and without the technology available to filmmakers today. They also were more constrained in terms of nudity and explicitness. There are also many more markets for exploitation films - foreign, DVD, etc. to make back their investment. I don't get it.

Where are the TALENTED exploitation filmmakers of this generation? (...)

I am a big julie strain fan, and if you are then you will want to see this movie. The plot i not stong and there are alot of holes in this tale of a future earth that was devistated by a comet resulting in a sort of second ice age. We don't really know how the bad guys came to power or why they want to experiment on the sewer peopl but we do know that Julie is a high class call girl by day and the avengger of the sewer people by night. This is an above average Sci-Fi B Movie with all the elements, Mad Scientist, Bad guy in love with the heroine and the child that unleashes the maternal instinct of our hero. There is a fair amount of nudity as is common in this kind of movie but not as much action as one would expect and just not enough Julie. over all it is a fun watch.

I was expecting this movie to be pretty bad when I rented it, but after watching it, It's actually a pretty decent movie! Be advised, that I'm a "B post-holocost-type-scifi-movie" junkie. What I didn't expect when I rented it, was that this was the movie that was ALMOST porno.

This movie is about a post-apocalyptic world (an asteroid has hit the earth), in which there is the ruling class (consisting of about 5 people) and the ruled class (consisting of about 6 people).

Basically, the whole thing looks like it was filmed in a furniture store. Julie Strain is a terrible, TERRIBLE actress. If she has three lines to speak, she'll do the first one with a bored expression, the second one with an angry expression, and the third with a happy expression. It's impossible not to groan. She walks around topless a lot, but the whole thing is done in such a sleazy way that it's not the least bit erotic. And then she speaks some monotone text and any possiblity of sensuality is completely lost.

The plot consists of her being the head madame for the ruling class. She lounges around at parties and talks like a sleazy madame. Then she decides she doesn't like her "john" any more, so she joins the resistance. They fight against the rulers, and guess who wins?

This is full of really bad stuff. If, like me, you look at the cover art and think that this movie couldn't possibly be bad, think again. Imagine the employees of a strip club making a movie - that's exactly what this is. Sleazy, not at all sexy, horribly produced, acting that is WAY below even B-movie standards...they couldn't even get the theme music right. The one person who really steals the show is another member of the stable of females. She doesn't have any lines, and believe me, in this movie the less you say the better you look in comparison to the rest of the cast.

Avoid at all costs.

The cover-aft of this movie is the best thing about it. No Joke. I threw away the movie after watching it, and kept the cover. The movie wasn't even closed to "B" quality (somewhere around "Z" if there was such a rating). Most of the outdoor shots are done in very poor lighting, and appear to have been filmed with a normal camcorder (very grainy, and lot's of jerky movement). The acting is somewhere in the relm of; a college project being made for class to out of work "never been" actors picked up off the street. Honestly, Julie Strain is the obvious reason anyone would watch this movie. Well, she wasn't in enough scenes. And when she was part of the scene, the quality of the movie, the set, the other actors/actresses, just drug everything down. If you are a Julie Strain fan, there are much better titles out there for you to choose from. If you just have to see this movie, look for it on a $1 day at your local video rental store, cause that's about all I feel it's worth.

Here's the only reason to buy this movie:The DVD has a 30 minute interview of Julie where she SHOWS YOU THE INSIDE OF HER HOUSE in Bervely Hills. She also talks about her life, past movies, future plans, and how she got her career started in Hollywood.

The movie itself is quite bad. A few topless sceens of Julie, and a couple of cheesey action sceens. My recomendation: Use the money to buy her latest book, JULIE STRAINS GREATEST HITS.

It's hard to beat PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE, but this super turkey comes close. Pure garbage. Even Julie Strain's enormous assets (none of them related to talent) cannot keep the adult viewer's attention for more than a microsecond (teenage boys may be exempt from this). The budget is non-existant. The same sets are used again and again and again, and look more like poorly made high school drama backgrounds than anything approaching real. Yes, Julie is repeatedly nekkid, but she has no acting ability whatsoever, and it is painful to watch her and all the actors struggle through something more resembling trash can refuse than a screenplay. Hopelessly, impossibly bad. And yes, not a single "battle queen" to be seen anywhere! Watch at your own peril!
