With having stayed away from taking a look at British Sex films after being put off by the horrible bullying nature of Mary Millington's movies,I was surprised to find out that director Norman J.Warren had made a sex movie during the last gasp of the genre's era,which led to me getting ready to see Warren head to outer space.The plot:Desperately needing to fix their space ship,a group of aliens decide to land on a near by planet called Earth.Arguing near by about their relationship,Oliver and Prudence decide to take a close look at a weird object that has recently landed.Along with Oliver and Prudence,a teenager called Willy decides to take a closer look at the strange object,after it interrupts him from reading an Adult magazine.Getting near the spaceship/object,a door suddenly opens,which Oliver,Prudence and Willy, (who keeps his "adult reading material" hidden in his jacket) all have a sudden urge to enter the spaceship/object.Walking round a number of circular white corridors,the group begin to suspect that they may have somehow ended up on an alien spaceship!.As the group begins to relies that they are on board an unknown flying object,a group of aliens, (who all appear in female,human form) suddenly get hold of the gang,and prepare to do experiment's on them all.As Willy is taken to the experiment room,an alien suddenly notices that he is hiding a strange looking book under his jacket.Taking the magazine out of his jacket,the alien begins to ask Willy about the interesting "strange" acts shown in the magazine.View on the film:Before getting to the film it self,I have to mention that whilst it does feature a few "rough moments" the movie is given a wonderful DVD transfer by Odeon Entertainment,who along with bringing the title out uncut for the first time ever,also make the outer space soundtrack one that is very clear and crisp.Showing a keen amount of ambition in his directing style,director Norman J.Warren keeps away from showing the sky at night,by instead covering the movie in an atmospheric white mist,which along with creating a wonderful paranormal feeling,also allows for the moments of flesh, (from both the male and female cast members )to be given a sparkling,off-beat shine.For the screenplay of the movie,writers John De Hart,Andrew Payne,David Speechley and Bob Saget, (who also voiced the robot character Wurlitzer in the US cut of the movie) make sure that the film never becomes a dull sleaze fest by giving each of the characters solid plot thread,with the writers showing Oliver and Prudence go from being up tight with each other,to going to bed for an out of this world experience,and also giving the movie,an unexpectedly down beat ending (which got cut from the US version of the movie.)With having been deeply put off the bullying atmosphere that I had seen in the last British Sex Comedy movies that I had watched,I was delighted to see each of the cast give a wonderfully cheerful,and rather wacky performances,with the great Ava Cadell sending the movie into orbit,as an alien who is very keen on re-enacting these "strange" images that she has seen for the first time.

Spaced Out is a British sex comedy directed by Norman J. Warren, better known for his cult horror movies. As with most of Warren's films, the cast is very small and the film is shot primarily on one set, in this case a spaceship. This ship happens to be piloted by three sexy female aliens who are forced to make an emergency landing on Earth. They take three humans on board and, well, that's where the fun begins! The women are young, gorgeous, sexually curious and not afraid to experiment with human reproductive techniques (all in the name of scientific discovery, of course!). It's actually done pretty tastefully and makes a joke of the fact that the man they become crazy about is young Willy, a self-confessed virgin with mild acne whose only sexual experience is masturbating while reading porno magazines. Only in British sex comedies do you have young spotty boys like Willy managing to seduce voluptuous females who wouldn't be caught dead with them in reality! Of course, this is all part of the appeal of these movies, isn't it?Overall the film is entertaining and well acted. The sub plot of a frustrated academic dealing with his frigid fiancé is amusing and well portrayed by Barry Stokes. Stokes seems to do a Clark Kent impersonation here, complete with pushing his glasses up his nose every few seconds. Ava Cadell, who plays the ship's engineer Partha, deserves the most praise of all the women in the film... she manages to be kooky and sexy at the same time and even helps drive the plot every so often. Interestingly enough, she's now Dr Cadell, founder of the Loveology university, and offers courses in all manner of sex-related subjects.Spaced Out is definitely one of the better sex comedy offerings that are out there. It's amusing throughout, has a smattering of sex and nudity, and comes to a surprising conclusion. Well worth watching!

This film, originally titled Outer Touch but now called by its American title, Spaced Out, is getting a bit of a cult following though why this should be is a bit of a mystery because it isn't really that good. It is written in the style of the British "Confessions" films but without the panache. The sets were left-overs from another film and bits from Space 1999 were spliced in. The humour is distinctly British low-brow with the expected sexual innuendos.Three gorgeous female aliens crash-land on Earth and take four (three male and one female) prisoners. Never having seen men before, it's not long before the men are subject to intense scrutiny and testing. How is it that this alien species which has never experienced men have all the female bits that men lust after? Charles Darwin has a lot of explaining to do. Of course, in typical sex comedy style, once they experience earthmen, they can't get enough of it.There are some good moments in this film such as Glory Annen examining Tony Maiden, and Ava Cadell testing Michael Rowlatt. Barry Stokes is like Clark Kent but without the charisma. The voice of the Wurlitzer was changed for the American market as well as the music. The ending for the American version was also changed. Compared to the US VHS, the US Region 1 DVD (both R-rated) has been panned and scanned to cut out some of the flesh. For the UK DVD, the film (double-billed with Sex Clinic) looks to be the original British version.

Haven't seen this movie in 20 years...but I have fond remembrances of the sex, adolescent humor, and boobies.Basically, some humans get picked up by a female dominated spaceship (with a gay computer) and the sexual hijinx begin as a "lady's man" and teenage chronic masturbator find themselves in the middle.Don't expect a "serious" comedy like Galaxy Quest...this is strictly for the Simpson's generation.The comedy is juvenile, the jokes forgettable, the acting funny as hell because it's so bad.I'd love to find the movie again. Help anyone???
