The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Long before Kristanna Loken played the T-X in T3, the beautiful Barbara Anne Constable starred as an indestructible female killing machine in Lady Terminator, a hilariously inept Indonesian rip-off of James Cameron's sci-fi classic The Terminator.The film begins with the South Sea Queen having sex with a guy with big hair, before chewing off his tackle with her snatch, asking 'Is there any man who can satisfy me?'. Her next conquest, her 100th husband, isn't about to let the queen take his manhood, pulling the source of the queen's power—a snake—from between her legs, and banishing her to the sea. Before the waves swallow up her castle, the queen swears vengeance on the man's great grand-daughter.A century later, and the spirit of the South Sea Queen possesses sexy anthropology student Tania (the beautiful Barbara Anne Constable) by magically inserting a snake up her chuff; she then proceeds to carry out her threat, hunting down aspiring pop singer Erica (Claudia Angelique Rademaker), descendant of the man who betrayed her.From hereon-in, Lady Terminator consists of cheap but very bloody carbon copies of The Terminator's most iconic scenes, with a nightclub shootout (but only after Erica has sung a dreadful song in its entirety), an assault on a police station (with lots and lots of juicy squibs, including bloody shots to the crotch), and the Lady Terminator performing surgery on herself, removing her eyeball to run it under a tap, before popping it back in.All of this is executed with very little technical prowess but lots of gusto, making the film a blast for fans of cheap, foreign exploitation. More violent than Cameron's film, with the added bonus of lots of nudity courtesy of sexy Barbara Anne Constable, and a memorable turn from Adam Stardust as gung-ho cop Snake, who sports one of cinema's most impressive mullets, this is trashy z-grade fun from start to finish.

Lady Terminator cashed in on the success of The Terminator (1984). It was made in Indonesia and had some troubles making it. Still, the flick looks awful but had some following. By now it's still in the top 5 list of flicks coming out of Indonesia. It surely was hell for first time actress Barbara Anne Constable. She was a professional dancer and model in the UK but took the opportunity to make a flick. It was said due the story (about the South Sea Queen) that it only would be released in Indonesia but it didn't. It was badly overdubbed and crossed the seas to the States and Europe. Barbara wasn't happy with that fact because she had a lot of nudity in it and because pictures became available of her nudity. She had a few near-death experiences by a car door passing her head by millimeters after an explosion. A falling sailboat mast almost killed her and she even died by not seeing an open well and just escaped it by putting out her arms to be saved. But she even walked through real glass in stead of sugar glass ripping open her leg, glass one side in out the other. But people really died, a crew member was asleep when a truck drove over his head. Years later Barbara came beware off the cult following by googling her name. And I agreed, this is pure exploitation with a lot of gratuitous nudity from Barbara. Full of cutting and editing mistakes like the rip-off of a Terminator scene were she removes her left eye but one shot later she is replacing her right eye. The effects used are very cheap and laughable, speeding up the reel for chasing scene's for example. Laserbeams coming out of her eyes. Eels being placed in vaginas with knickers still on ( a thing Barbara didn't knew that they were adding that in the editing room). Boring sex scene's and having intercause with knickers on. Bloody shootings that go on forever and I can go on and on. This is pure exploitation with a cheesy topping. It's even so loved that it will get a Blu Ray release in 2012 and they are trying to get Barbara involved, one to look forward to.Gore 1/5 Nudity 2,5/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

"Lady Terminator" is seriously funny stuff. Because it is not played for laughs, it is really hilarious, with it's staccato dubbing. "I'm not a lady, I'm an Anthropologist". The plot is absolutely bananas, and trying to describe it would be futile. Think of it as a series of almost unrelated scenes, that somehow work on their own. The film oozes with excitement, even if none of it makes any sense. The photography is glitzy, the stunts in many cases burn up ridiculous plastic models, and the policeman hero looks like a Kier Dullea clone. None of this matters however, because you might die laughing watching this terrible movie masterpiece. - MERK

Wow! Phew! This has never happened to me before … I've never been in love as much as I'm in love with Lady Terminator. Ours is a marriage made in heaven and I swear I'll love her till the end of times. She's quite the lady, all right, but she's also so much more. She's the duchess of sleaze, the queen of exploitation, the empress of tastelessness and the goddess of rip-offs! This is quite possibly the most outrageously amusing movie ever made and all those people complaining about how awful and unoriginal it is should either lay off drinking entire bottles of vinegar and/or make the effort to research what the (foreign) exploitation film industry is all about, anyway. How do you recognize the ideal cult movie classic? Well, if you're witnessing gratuitous nudity, bloody killings, eels crawling out a woman's vagina and inexplicably changing into a daggers and delightfully cheesy quotes like "I shall now retire to the see but return in a hundred years to have my vengeance on your great-great-granddaughter…"), during the first five minutes – even before the opening credits appeared on screen – THEN I'd say you found yourself the ideal cult movie classic. And it even gets better… Much better, in fact! One hundred years ago, the malignant Queen of the South Sea swore to kill the female descendant of the man she loved but whom betrayed her. To fulfill this promise, the Queen's evil spirit possesses the luscious body of an innocent young anthropologist student (Barbara Anne Constable in her sole but unforgettable performance) and turns her into an indestructible, unstoppable, sex-driven and relentless killing machine. Armed with heavy artillery and a literally endless amount of ammunition, Lady Terminator goes on her mission and she isn't too concerned about the trail of collateral damage she leaves. Our heroine quickly finds her target but she – Erica – receives protection from a clique of hilariously implausible cop characters, one with a ludicrous mullet. I honestly can't imagine anyone who watches "Lady Terminator", with the correct attitude and/or in the right state of mind, won't tremendously enjoy it! Everything about this movie is so WRONG; I simply love it! The sudden change in tone, from an Indonesian folklore myth about the Queen of the South Sea into a wannabe American Sci-Fi imitation of one of the genre's greatest classics, is stupendously amusing, the character drawings are wondrously inept, the dialogs as well as the acting performances and the English dubbing are completely bonkers to listen to and – last but not least – the use of violence is so unimaginably excessive and graphical! If you love James Cameron's "The Terminator" (and who doesn't, right?), you actually should watch "Lady Terminator" and try and consider it as some sort of crazy homage. As soon as the possessed girl walks out of the sea butt-naked, the shamelessly copied ideas and sequences of "The Terminator" become impossible to list. Almost identical to how Arnold Schwarszenegger did it, Lady Terminator dodges shotgun bullets, drives a car into a police station in broad daylight, performs eyeball operations on herself and makes a whole lot of victims before she reaches Sarah Connor… I mean, Erica. This movie literally has everything: gore, sex, stupidity, bizarre characters, a typically 80's pop-song sung from start to finish, an incredibly inappropriate "we're falling in love" sub plot and a stoned 80's dude with the ugliest mullet hairdo ever. Please marry me, Lady Terminator?
