Are there additional scenes to the transformation that were taken
out?

There are some outtakes of things that didn't quite work during the
whole transformation scene (I think we have some of this on the
"making of" videos. We kind of went nuts trying new things here and
there - and some of it worked and some of it failed or just didn't
look as good as I wanted it to. Trial and error.

I am a huge fan of transformation stories. (I blame Jack Chalker's
early influence!) And I have to say, I cannot recommend this movie
to anyone.
It's easy to get sidetracked with all of the scientific and logic
flaws this movie has, even by sci-fi standards. I'll just leave it
at this: If you started a drinking game based on "that's not how
science/a spaceship operates," you'd be in danger of alcohol
poisoning by the end.
The reality is, it's just a terrible movie with bad dialogue and
gender stereotypes that make the 50s look progressive - but not
even in a sexy or fun way.
When Alex transforms to Alice, he doesn't just transform into a
woman - he loses his ability to lead, to fight (because girls only
slap, run and give in), to strategize, and even to dress
appropriately for his job. (The original female member of the crew
dressed in identical clothing to the men; Alice dresses appropriate
to a workout video, not acting captain of a ship.) He gains an
innate ability to do his nails and makeup (which as a woman, let me
tell you is in no fucking way innate) and to unintentionally flirt
like a cheerleader. And by the end of it, he doesn't want to return
to being a man because being a woman is all about love. (Being a
man is apparently all about hate, rape and illogical behavior.)
The physical transformation is... meh. Divided out into body parts
(close up on the hands as the nails grow, close up on the lips as
the lips change, close up on a boob as the boob grows, close up on
the spine as the spine... pops out like for a moment you think he
might become an alien?) but not particularly inspiring. It was an
independent, low-budget film, though, so I imagine their resources
were limited and they did the best they could. As for the long
nails - they looked ridiculous, but I wouldn't have cared... if
they hadn't magically disappeared in the next scene. Continuity?
It's just not a good movie, folks. It's definitely not worth your
time or money.

It's an awful film, that's true. Also a horrible representation of
women.
The author might wish to turn into a woman, that's true, but that
doesn't mean he respects them. Indeed, it seems he's a bit
masochistic and only wants to be a woman to feel weak and be raped.
Even if you can get pass that, the rest of the film is equally
horrid. The transformation is corny and all, but probably the best
part for the crowd here. And its aftermath is horribly played.

movies from someone in this community evar. Shown lots of friends
who love it too. Highly recommend.

What's funny is that the bad reviews make me want to see it even
more.

I agree it was not great...I disliked it so much it wasn't worth
the memory it used to keep on my computer.
Well some will like it for sure I would just advise people it is
not worth the effort it takes to acquire
