YMMV / Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS

Go To

  • Audience-Alienating Premise: This is a sexploitation film set in a Nazi death camp. Need we say more?
  • Crosses the Line Twice: You will giggle or feel nauseated from all the rampant literal Nazi sex, probably one after the other.
  • Narm: A World War II Great Escape action "epic" that is also a rampant sex film, a piece of Torture Porn, and was filmed on (and blew up) the set of Hogan's Heroes, of all places. It is very hard not to stifle laughter for one reason or another.
  • Misaimed Fandom: In their book Super Bitches and Action Babes: The Female Hero in Popular Cinema, 1970–2006, Film scholar, Rikki Schubert, called Ilsa a "feminist" icon. Writing, "she is not a female hero in any ordinary sense, yet she is a strong, active, and aggressive protagonist who has become mythical in Western culture." Which is certainly a unique take on a Nazi Villain Protagonist.
  • Nausea Fuel: One of the tests Ilsa performs involves flesh-eating maggots.
  • Sequelitis: Three sequels, each worse than the first, and that don't even try to Hand Wave the fact that Ilsa was killed at the end of the first film.
  • Squick: Ilsa urinating into the general's mouth, for one.
