Nobody likes it when a woman is scorned. Unfaithful spouses, beware! I seen unfaithful husbands. The consequences of the matter is extreme. An angry wife is bad. An angry wife who is 50 feet tall is WORSE! In the remake of the 1958 classic fim, "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman", this one has a feminist movement to it. Here you have an heiress who is in a very unhappy marriage. Her husband (Daniel Baldwin) has a mistress on the side, and her father is using the Money to control the town. Since Nancy(Darryl Hannah) is being controlled by her father and husband, she can't express her displeasure at any means. When that fateful night came when she encountered a UFO, her whole life changes for the better. Since she couldn't convince anyone at first about the strange encounter, she and her go to the spot and gets taken by the saucer. That night she experience a BIG CHANGE! Her father and husband see it, and so does the rest of the town. It was nice to see snippets of the original movie, and it was big message sender. Equally important to everyone deserves a chance in life. If I was married, I would treat my wife like a queen. If I was a father, I would treat my daughter like a princess. Don't be like Harry, he has got a lot of growing up to do. I mean literally. The other husbands see that he deserves an attitude adjustment. See the original, and be the judge of that. Darryl Hannah is indeed one sexy giantess. 3 out of 5 stars. Sex appeal

A rich and spoiled woman (Daryl Hannah)) is "zapped" with a ray from a flying saucer. Nobody believes her until she pops out of her clothes to over 50 feet tall. She lives in a big barn and sews her own clothes. (How very convenient.) Unlike "The Hulk" no purple stretchy underwear. It tries to be "campy" just like the 1950's film and somewhat succeeds. Nobody dies in this remake. Fake blue backdrop and jet-black studio skies. Daryl Hannah makes it into a woman's lib parody. When she grows to her full size she "attacks" her husband's lover, but only verbally. "You are better than this and smarter than all the men in town" (paraphrased) The sets (intentionally) look cheap like model-train miniature buildings. She stomps through town and everyone screams. She and her husband are picked up by the flying saucer, so nobody believes she is crazy anymore. Borrows from the original. Missiles are fired at her, she falls into the high-voltage electric wires, but does not die. Several silly things in the movie: Giant trucks deliver "Summer's Eve Deodorant for Women" and Revlon products. The doctor tries to give her a giant-sized hypo-tranquilizer. She suggests that her normal-sized man "can keep her happy"? He remarks: "What am I supposed to do? put on a "wet-suit" and bring a flashlight"? The love "gyrations" are poorly done and not provocative. Baldwin looks like he is drilling for oil! Daryl hitches a saucer-ride to the stars with two pretty giant alien "twins". Everyone is 50 ft. tall! They pick up three Earth-men, including her husband. They are still normal-sized at this time. They are all wearing yellow Capt. Kirk polo shirts, of course. It's a guilty-pleasure film due to pretty Ms. Hannah wearing practically nothing at times. Also minor nudity (cheeky). Cute but not that funny or scary. The drive-in she smashes is showing the old b/w 1950's version of the same movie. Yes, she did make a few better movies. "Splash" and "Roxanne" with Steve Martin, both come to mind. I rate it PG-13 (or a weak "R"). Minor violence, suggestive language, and brief nudity.

This version of "Attack of the 50 foot Woman" isn't as much fun as the title may suggest. The main problem is that the film can't make up its mind on what it wants to be. Is it a spoof/homage to the cheesy 50's giant monster horror movies, or is a serious, but bizarre fantasy-drama about a woman who needs to break out of her shell? I know this sounds absolutely baffling, but the film actually kind of works as a quirky drama. We've got this woman who is suddenly 50 feet tall and has more than enough power to stand up to the men that would objectify and abuse her. Mixed in with that we have some standard giant monster stuff that feels really out of place, and this is coming from a big fan of Kaiju/giant monster movies. If the film had picked either direction and stuck with it, this could have been a very entertaining film but instead the audience is left disappointed. I found that technically the movie is pretty good, with some convincing special effects (well, for the most part; overall they are still convincing) and it features a good cast. How or when you're going to watch this, I really don't know because this is neither a "so bad it's good" cheesy horror flick you can laugh at and it isn't a clever twist on the films that inspired it either. I mistook this version for the original "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" when I bought the VHS tape. Sure it only cost me a buck but I was still disappointed. (On VHS, September 21, 2012)

I imported this one through a greedy shark that took quite a chunk out of me, but Darryl Hannah's beauty was worth the bite. I've wanted to see this ever since 1993, but the movie just never came my way. Harry sure was a loathsome idiot for neglecting his pretty wife that way. Hell, the guy had everything going for him, but still he wasn't satisfied. Oh, and she is just so huggable! That tall, elegant, warm-hearted slice of loveliness that he had to discard for brash Honey. She grows up spectacularly, and the stable and swimming pool scenes are especially good, although the downtown scenes with the 'houses' are kinda lame, but what I would like to know is where she got that dress? A circus tent? I really got worried that she was going to go the way ol' KING KONG did three times before her, but the ending took a different turn that falls far from satisfactory, a more here on Earth resolution was necessary, with everybody getting their just desserts in more conventional fashion, but okay, this is an unconventional movie.It's just, well, a movie should show its main protagonist to be so much better than the competition, and if the point was, during the Fifties, the man is so domineering, or aggressive, because of his size, let's reverse this, there really is no need for this with Nineties hindsight, yet Nancy becomes violent at the slightest provocation after her growth spurt. She used to keep herself in check; what happened to this discipline too readily thrown out? The moral of the story should have been that after the shift in power, she should have remained the better person, instead of simply playing to another stereotype. Brain power, there lies the answer. She is clearly smart, and this should have been her real Attack, her size just an ally lending her confidence. Her exposition of her father and husband's multiple wrongdoings should have brought much more discredit to the characters than were the case, and this would have been the climax of the movie, rather than these giantesses wielding threats flying around in a UFO. She also should have been returned to normal, and found a decent partner, somebody who truly loved her.The best thing about this movie? Darryl Hannah all the way! There was a surprising nude scene, however brief, involving Christi (Honey), but nothing detracts from the lead actress, the SPLASH mermaid superstar!Except maybe a weak, very much flawed script...
