Sexed Up Superheroines
7 brings us more hot, sexy heroine-on-villain action, and needless to say, anything
with Steve Steele, beautiful women in spandex, and mind control is a recipe
for success.
Leigh Livingston, a very pretty girl with a very tight body and very firm, sizable
breasts, stars as Power Princess, wearing a familiar white, red and blue outfit
that has her cleavage on full display. Her balance of girl-next-door good looks
and bombshell figure make her one of the most attractive models in the series.
Though there aren't the usual blank out zombie moments, her corruption from
squeaky clean heroine to hypno love slave is just as sexy and satisfying.
Steve Steele again appears in multiple roles. He has a fantastic bit part as
the always amazing Dr. Steele. The cameo is short, but highly amusing. (What's
whiter Steve? Your chest? Or Power Princess' leotard?) He also portrays the
main villain, the nefarious Prof. H, a wheelchair-bound psychic with a penchant
for mind control. His hilarious over-the-top facial expressions, faux-british
accent and goofy haircut, make him one of the more memorable bad guys thus far.
His mental commands are highly entertaining to listen to and make the sex dialogue
much more interesting.
Despite Steve's skills, it was Man-Fly who had me in stitches during his brief
cameo. The goofy villain from Episode 3, has managed to cheat death, only to
face more failure and humiliation. He performs so remarkably well, and appropriately
over-the-top, that I can only hope he makes a few repeat appearances. Even his
scenes in the outtakes are highly entertaining. (I mean, good GOD, how many
takes of him getting beat up with a steel pipe did they have to film?)
He's yet another great goofy baddie in a long list of great goofy baddies (though
I think Aluminum Foil Guy has yet to be topped.)
The sex scenes are great too. There's a very hot and steamy shower masturbation
scene with Leigh that is quite erotic, as well as a humorous stripper-pole routine
that was very entertaining. The actual sex itself was nothing we haven't seen
before, but, again, Prof. H's mental commentaries make it memorable, and it's
still some great material with a very attractive actress.
Overall, this is yet another solid installment in the already excellent Sexed
Up Superheroines series. Leigh Livingston is a great new addition and will be
sure to please fans of "power"-ful heroines. The villians are again
memorabe and creative, and the requisite humor is still there in spades.
No one understands what makes comic book fantasies click as well as Steve Steele
does. His various homages to heroines and villains with characters like Power
Princess and Prof. H are proof of that, and it really helps to elevate the material.
You owe it to yourself to check this episode out. It's another great chapter
in the ever unfolding saga of superheroine sex and surprises. I certainly look
forward to the next one.
The following review is by Madcapof the mcforum.
"The Power Principle" by Steve Steele doesn't contain the style of hypno I usually go for. But as an avid comic book geek, I tend to appreciate his forays into the superheroine genre. And this movie does have its share of mind control. Though not the "zombie" control we've see in many of his other films, the psychic powers of Professor H will give hypnosis fans something to enjoy.
Leigh Livingston is great in the role of the Power Princess, and she fills out
the costume nicely. She soon falls under the sway of
Professor H's mental prowess and finds herself following his commands. He projects
all of them mentally (through a nifty special effect), which really emphasizes
the control he has over her. One thing I like about Leigh's performance is that
Professor H will tell her to do something (or ask her if she's enjoying herself),
and she'll say "no!" defiantly, but then a few seconds later she'll
mumble a quiet, breathy, submissive "yes". I'm sure many fans of comic
book mind control will appreciate that.
Another thing Steve does right is that he never has her take off her costume
completely. She's always got her gloves, boots, and cape
on, which helps to emphasize that this isn't just any old girl--it's the Power
Princess! And for part of the sex she has her entire costume on,
which may appeal to some of you. The sex itself is nothing you haven't seen
before (though her breasts do bounce rather nicely!), but since Steve is playing
a paralyzed character, she has to do all the work, which kind of emphasizes
his control over her as well, so that does put a slightly different spin on
things.
And, as you've come to expect from Steve Steele by now, this video is chock
full of humor, from the hilarious Man-Fly's antics to some of
Professor H's mental comments to himself and the viewer. Oh, and his facial
expressions while he's projecting his psychic control are
hilarious.
This is a worthy
addition to Steve's superheroine video library that fans of his previous work
will certainly enjoy, and fans
of a certain white, red and blue-clad superheroine should definitely check out!
