This is the third and final giantess film in this series of reviews. It is the second part of a franchise, but can also be viewed as a standalone thanks to many flashbacks.

Once again, I do not believe there is any doubt that these films are absurdist comedies, thankfully going for the lowest bar and the biggest busts.

Giantess Attack vs Mecha-Fembot! (aka Giantess Attack 2)

This film is directed by Jeff Leroy, as a sequel to his Giantess Attack (2017), as explained in the prologue by a Katy Sagal imitator. Okay. I did not see the previous one, which is recapped through periodic flashbacks here and there, although I reviewed another film by Leroy, Predator World (2017). https://indiehorrorfilms.blogspot.com/2018/11/review-predator-world.html He also did the special effects for Attack of the 50 Foot Cam-Girl (2022) and Giantess Battle Attack (2022).

 

Tasha Tacosa, Rachel Riley

After tearing a city apart and eating numerous people in the previous release, once giantesses and now normal sized Diedre (Tasha Tacosa) and Frieda (Rachel Riley; both from 2022’s AmberRoad) are the subject of protests and lawsuits. Diedre is hiding out high in the mountains in her Fortress of Immeasurable Guilt (which has the house number 3 on the door) with Frieda trying to get her to join the real world (and, of course, catfighting…that’s the theme of the pic, after all). Meanwhile, alien-in-tight-vinyl Metaluna (Christine Nguyen, is shrinking people, such as a scientist, Dr. Drew (John Karyus).

Also fighting are two normal sized actors, Fran (Chelsea Bellas) and Amber (Kali Cook), after being offered roles by sleazy agent Joe Blowfeld (Ben Stobber, who played various creatures in a bunch of Mahal Empire films).

Finally, about three-quarters into this short feature, we finally meet the titular Mecha Fembot (Vlada Fox), under the evil control of Metaluna. She attacks Hollywood, and who comes to the rescue? Our two battling babes, Frieda and Diedre, who at least for a while are able to team up. Can they defeat Mega Fembot? Can they save the city? Can they show more cleavage?

Riley, Vlada Fox

Yes, this film is definitely geared towards a very specific demographic, essentially horny teen boys and horny older fanboys, but those especially with the catfight and macrophilia bug. Yes, there is certainly lots of cleavage and a surprising number of (clothed) crotch shots, thanks to “looking upward” at both our heroes and villains (no relation to the Beach Boys). Sexist as all hell? Yeah. Fun? Kinda. It is played so over the top, that it is nearly cartoonish, like some films that show violence that is unrealistic. However, the scene with Fran and Amber are kind of gratuitous and add nothing to the story, really; it is, however, another chance to show some more skin, another catfight, and a semi-macrophilia in reverse, as they are normal size, and the male in the scene is shrunk, giving that upward perspective anyway. Perhaps they are being set up to be more forward in another sequel? Amazingly, there is actually no nudity.

Nearly all of the film is either green screened (it is pretty obvious when it is) or using models of buildings that are easily collapsible. The humor in it is definitely grade school level, with a nod to the MCU and DCU, such as a nice running joke about becoming unrecognizable through a disguise of just eyeglasses. There is also a character in the coda named Nicky Fury (Alexandra Marie), who, of course, wears an eyepatch. The ending is a possible set-up for a new film, Giantess Attack in Space (although there is no listing for it is indicated in IMDB).

The extras are the trailer, and other Full Moon coming attractions. It may also be worthwhile to check out the documentary about the making of this film, Giant Women,Micro-Budget (2018).
