From ei Independent Cinema - creators of Lord of the Strings and Carlito's Angels - comes their most spectacular film yet! SpiderBabe is a non-stop, over- the-top action epic and hilarious spoof featuring sexy superheroes, voluptuous villains and outrageous visual fx! ei Cinema starlet Misty Mundae (Lord of the Strings, Play-mate of the Apes) is Patricia Porker, a shy and studious college girl with sweet dreams of romance with a handsome jock. When bitten by her science teacher's genetically engineered arachnid, she gets more than she could have ever wished for! Suddenly transformed into a wall-climbing, building-bounding beauty with superhuman strength, Patricia takes the name 'SpiderBabe' and quickly warms to saving lives and fighting crime in New York City. But little does SpiderBabe know that a sinister arch-enemy is plotting her downfall. Her name is Lucinda Knoxx, a.k.a. The Femtilian (Julian Wells) - a lithe, deadly and delectable evil genius with her own taste for adventure - and she will stop at nothing in her mad quest for global domination. J.J.J.J., curvaceous editor of The Daily Bungle, also has it in for our world wide web-flinger, and she employs a macho reporter and a gorgeous spy to dig deep and get the dirt on SpiderBabe. As superhero and supervillain come to blows, will it be a climactic battle to save Manhattan…or will SpiderBabe and Femtilian walk off into the sunset together?

5.0 out of 5 stars Misty Mundae is the bodacious SpiderBabe, May 11, 2004

This review is from: Spiderbabe (DVD)

SpiderBabe (2002) was and probably still is Seduction Cinema's most spectacular and glamorous motion picture production. Bringing together the likes of the gorgeous Misty Mundae, Darian Caine, Julian Wells, and Kelli Summers, directorJohnny Crash, takes SpiderBabe far beyond erotica for erotica's sake and sets his sights on producing a movie that can hold its own in terms of comedy, action, and special effects. Of course, there is still plenty of Seduction Cinema's trademark nudity and sizzling moments incorporated into the production, but the seamier moments were removed in the R-rated version of the film (in an effort, I imagine, to extend the company's reach to consumers who might not be familiar with the films and starlets of the world's best erotic B-movie production company). The SpiderBabe DVD offers the best of both worlds - if you buy the right package. It is not always overtly obvious, but there are two different SpiderBabe releases - I urge you not to buy the single-DVD release because it includes only the R-rated version of the film plus a few extras; what you want is the "two-disc collector's edition DVD." The two-DVD version includes both the R-rated version and the unrated version plus an abundance of additional extra features.

As you might have guessed, SpiderBabe is a parody of the film SpiderMan. The delectable Misty Mundae plays Patricia Porker, a shy and quite nerdy college student who is ridiculed constantly by her classmates. There is actually a parallel here between the character and Misty herself, for Misty is a very intelligent young lady who is shy and rather nerdy at heart. Anyway, Patricia gets bitten by a hybrid, radioactive spider. Naturally, she develops super powers (including a powerful sex drive) and becomes a crime-fighting superhero; she can even shoot her own spider webs (which do not come out of her hands or wrists, and that's all I will say about that). Needing money for her new apartment, Patricia signs up to wrestle the Queen Bee at Madison Square Garden, and soon thereafter, when a personal tragedy hits home, she accepts the responsibility of using her special powers to fight evil (and to - shall we say - get to know other people very well). While she is out keeping the city safe from bad guys, her own personal nemesis is borne in the form of Femilian (Julian Wells). Before long, SpiderBabe is attacked in the pages of the Daily Bungle and set up to look like a criminal or, at best, a clumsy would-be hero. Everything soon spirals toward an ultimate showdown with Femilian.

It goes without saying that Misty Mundae turns in a magnificent performance (even if she does look pretty silly jumping around New York City in that crazy SpiderBabe costume); it was especially enjoyable to see her take on all the baddies and leave them lying in her wake. Julian Wells does a pretty good job playing the Jekyll/Hyde-like Lucinda Knox/Femilian character (but that fake accent is just annoying), Darian Caine is wonderful in what amounts to a supporting role, and I was quite pleased to finally meet up with the lovely Kelli Summers once again. All of the action and special effects are rather cheesy, as you might expect, but some (certainly not all) of the special effects actually turned out to be rather impressive.

Let me describe the differences in the R-rated and unrated versions of SpiderBabe because there are important differences. You will surely be tempted to watch the unrated version first, but I would strongly suggest you start with the R-rated version. The fact is that the editing of the unrated version makes a mess of the plot - in conjunction with the added naughty scenes, you also find a number of scenes from the R-rated version shortened or removed entirely. Lost in this process are some of the funniest scenes in the movie as well as a number of necessary plot points; you also have the absurdity of an important event being reported on the news before it even happens. If I had watched the unrated version first, I would have come away thinking this was a horrible movie.

The two-disc collector's edition DVD comes with a huge bounty of extras: three deleted naughty scenes (of pretty hot material); behind-the-scenes featurettes on the making of the film and the special effects used in the film; a look at the evolution of the SpiderBabe costume; an "Out There TV" clip featuring Misty Mundae and Julian Wells in a saucy additional scene; several minutes of out-takes and bloopers; interviews with Misty Mundae, Julian Wells, and director Johnny Crash; a nice SpiderBabe photo gallery; trailers to a number of other Seduction Cinema films; and a music video (plus a making-of-the-video featurette) from the band Punishment featuring Misty Mundae (quite fun to watch).

I'm not saying SpiderBabe is a work of cinematic art, but it's not really supposed to be. This is just great entertainment bursting with action, comedy, and the drop-dead gorgeous Misty Mundae. I loved every minute of it.

OK, this movie is sophomoric rubbish by any reasonable standard, but by the standard of the genre it stands out. Besides, there are times to suspend reason and just enjoy a guilty pleasure.

SpiderBabe is just that. Misty Mundae certainly has the "It" factor going for her, and she handles the part with humor and dexterity, even managing not to look embarrassed while running around Times Square amid perplexed pedestrians in her SpiderBabe costume (basically underwear and a mask). The script, which parodies Spiderman with most roles gender-reversed, is genuinely funny in parts. If you feel like switching off your brain for an evening and letting the 13-year-old inside of you out for a stretch, this is the right movie.

Incidentally, and somewhat counter-intuitively, the R-rated version in the two disc set is the superior one. The very extended sex scenes in the unrated version were accommodated at the expense of other scenes and dialogue. A couple of the cut scenes are actually important to the plot, and are amusing besides.

5.0 out of 5 stars Silly, sexy, playful fun, June 29, 2005

This review is from: Spiderbabe (DVD)

Spiderbabe is obviously a softcore parody of Spider-Man, mimmicking the entire story and plot, replacing Spidey traits with goofy sexuality and softmore inuendo.

Spiderbabe's a nerdy college kid who daydreams about a long time cfrush. She gets bitten by a spider and poof, she can climb walls, seduce strangers and shoot web out of her...well, take a guess.

The effects are horrible, the plot was lifted from the Marvel film and yet, the movie's totally enjoyable. The reason? Misty Mundae.

Misty Mundae's a slightly dorky, small chested b-movie icon. She's the girl next door who has a sense of humor and doesn't take herself seriously. With her beautiful fair skin, perfect modest body and a face ballancing between cute and gorgeous, every second that she's on screen is a second your eyes won't budge.

Although this is softcore and full of sex, it doesn't feel like some lame Cinemax crap. The situations are so unlikely and unbelievable that the sex almost has a comedic element to it. It's light simulated sex with long shots of the parts you can't see on network.

It's not Citizen Cane and it's not supposed to be. It's T&A loaded, goofy comedy and it's fun.
