Kira (Lisa Boyle) is an inmate on an asteroid prison. After dispatching the main drug supplying queen bee by stabbing her about 50 times, everyone wants a piece of Kira. Including the fetish fancy prison officials. It seems that Kira isn't all bad. She was just seeking revenge for the dose/rape/murder of a fellow inmate. This gets her sentenced to another block, and a brief stint into the mines where she pisses off Billie the queen bee of the mines wonderfully played by Debra Beatty. After Kira kills several more inmates, she pals up with her soon to be released bunkmate, and gets moved to the lax horticultural detail! Billie makes a pact with the black queen bee, and together they try to dispatch Kira and her green thumbed buds.
Caged Heat 3000 tries to escape it's low budget roots by adding spaceship footage from Murakami's Battle Beyond The Stars, and unlike the incoherent footage swiping of Fred Olen Ray's Star Slammers, the footage does add to the overall look of the film. There are some truly inspired moments of kink involving electrical bra bondage, space showers, spanking, and forced erotic dancing, but the film can never quite fit them comfortably into the plot. These moments feel like unrelated scenes from a Cameron Grant porno. There are even cameos by porn stars such as Ron Jeremy. You get the feeling when watching this film that Debra Beatty & the production's Art Department were the only ones who were trying to bring the film above it's grade Z roots.
Although Lisa Boyle is beyond delicious with one of the best boob jobs I have seen in recent memory, her acting performance is horrid. I can't totally rail on her because the script has her muttering one line broken sentences for the first 1/2 of the film. Caged Heat 3000 isn't unwatchable by any means, but like Star Slammers it could of easily been so much more with a rewrite, and a director who believed in it.
