Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women is a 1968 American science fiction film, one of two which were adapted from the 1962 Soviet SF film Planeta Bur for Roger Corman.
The original film was scripted by Aleksandr Kazantsev from his novel and directed by Pavel Klushantsev; the adaptation was made by Peter Bogdanovich, who chose not to have his name credited on the film prints, and included American-made principal scenes starring Mamie van Doren. The film apparently had at least a limited American release through American-International Pictures Inc.
A team of astronauts crashes on the surface of Venus. Accompanied by their robot, they explore the surface and end up destroying the Venusian God. This film is also known as “The Gill Women” and “The Gill Women of Venus”.
This film began life as a Soviet-produced work. An American producer then added some new footage and changed the credits to hide the film’s Soviet origin. The original film, “Planeta Bur”, is also known as “Cosmonauts on Venus”, “Planet of Storms”, “Planet of Tempests”, “Planeta Burg”, and “Storm Planet”. Much of the film “Planeta Bur” was also incorporated into the “American” film “Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet”.
This film was shown in “Pathe” color, which is essentially just a method of placing color filters over a black and white film. Consequently, the color that you see is not the true color of the sets but instead represents an “interpretation” of a black and white original.

as I recall this was originally a Soviet film that was uh.. borrowed and then chopped and redubbed and released as this. as far as movies go this one is definitely one for the laundry room, clearly not the best movie you will ever watch, not the worst either. bad acting, bad script, bad costumes, bad effects, but the girls aren't bad, sadly though they just can't carry the film on their sexuality alone. maybe the robot could help… naw he couldn't even carry two actors, but at least he gets a female cult following. I could make a hundred jokes about women and battery operated gods… save this one for the bad movie nights with the guys.
