Lady Terminator
The Queen of the South Sea, an ancient sex goddess, seduces men before using a serpent that resides in her vagina to devour their penises. One man manages to grab the serpent, which turns into a dagger. Enraged, the Queen curses the man's would-be great granddaughter. In 1989, an anthropologist named Tania is investigating the legend of the Queen of the South Sea, which results in her diving to the Queen's resting place, being bound to a bed, and violated by a serpent, which allows the Queen to take control of her. Tania goes on a rampage, massacring civilians in a nightclub and pursuing the descendant of the man, an aspiring pop star named Erica. A New York detective named Max McNeil investigates the murders and meets Erica. Tania attacks the police headquarters, shooting and killing numerous officers. After escaping the grip of Tania, McNeil and Erica have sex in a forest. Tania tracks them down and is eventually burned in a car explosion. She continues to pursue Erica, who eventually stabs her with the dagger her great-grandfather passed down to her, destroying Tania for good.
