A lamentable slapstick comedy featuring un-PC jokes about Hyde's gay persona.

AKA Die Insel der tausend Freuden.
"You have both behaved like hyena's."

Lush tropical scenary and plenty of nudity in this otherwise incomprehesable drama.

The Americans discover that the Chinese have developed a doomsday machine that can destroy the earth. This derails the preparations for a mission to Venus as the crew must try to save the Earth from destruction, with three of the crew being replaced by three women.
Be amazed who the women manage to maintain their beehives whilst in space, in this cheesy and cheap Sci-fi hokem.

Plenty of action pushes this early technicolour production along.
