LADY TERMINATOR

Part of Action Distraction and Midnight Movies

Fri, Jul 11 at Midnight: Introduction from Jason Shawhan, senior film critic for the Nashville Scene | BUY TICKETS

First she mates…. Then she terminates! A sexually rapacious goddess known as the “Queen of the South Sea” possesses the body of a young anthropologist. Armed with an AK47 and an endless supply of bullets, this murderous Lady Terminator takes to the streets on a revenge-filled rampage.

This mind-blowing Indonesian hodgepodge is just like THE TERMINATOR — if Sarah Connor had serious ’80s mall hair, her saviors were a pack of high-fiving mullet heads, and Arnold Schwarzenegger were replaced by a laser-spewing sorceress with a killer vagina! Don’t miss one of our most beloved slices of cult WTF-ery.

“LADY TERMINATOR is a film so atrocious it blasts right past ‘so bad it’s good’ back to just plain ‘good’. You’ve got it all: terrible dubbing, acting and writing; ceaseless use of machine gun fire to the point where ‘overkill’ doesn’t even apply anymore and a plot so brain bogglingly non-sensical it skirts genius. Let’s put it this way, when you see that the lead female is also the make-up artist, you know a movie’s got to be something special.” —Mariko McDonald, Film Threat
