Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women

Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women is a 1968 movie directed by Peter Bogdanovich and co-produced by Roger Corman. It stars Mamie Van Doren as the leader of the alien women. There is no escape from the voice-over narration which begins this movie. The story is told in flashback by yet a different narrator, one of the human crew. Some of this film has the exact same dialog as Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet. This is a definite contender for worst movie ever made.

Googlevideo has it online:

The Spinning Image explains the film:
This effort largely consists of the Russian film [Planeta Bur] cut together with shots of Mamie Van Doren and assorted young ladies dressed in shell bikinis wandering about a rocky shore as the waves crash around them. They speak in voiceover while the Russian actors are dubbed,

1000 Misspent Hours says,
I honestly can’t fathom how anyone managed to convince themselves that Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women was necessary or even minimally worthwhile as an investment of time, money, and energy. In and of itself, it’s honestly quite dull
