Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Wild World of Batwoman

If you are a MST fan, you will love this one. The movie is terrible - that's why it was selected for MST - and Mike and the bots do a great job of poking fun. It's almost too easy. The only down side is typical of the Rhino videos - Rhino does a terrible job of mixing the audio, so the audio from the movie is very hard to hear, while the audio from Mike and the bots is quite clear. That means you miss the point of some of the jabs. Hopefully, now that Shout Factory has taken the MST videos from Rhino, they will do a better job of audio mix.

I own several episodes of MST3K - including Manos the Hands of Fate, which I think we can all agree is pretty horrid in terms of film making - but The Wild World of Bat Woman may be even show more

I own several episodes of MST3K - including Manos the Hands of Fate, which I think we can all agree is pretty horrid in terms of film making - but The Wild World of Bat Woman may be even worse. I ordered this as a Christmas present for my boyfriend and we were completely perplexed by this incoherent film. The bots didn't have much to work with...and that shows too. Bat Woman runs around in a freaky get up with a bat drawn on her chest and a strange doodad pinned to her bosom communicating with her beach bum bat girls. All the bat girls really like to do is shake it in the sand while listening to weird music. Seriously, is that a song about a rhinoceros? I mean, WHAT IS GOING ON? I recommend this flick to serious MSTies only!

I am a HUGE fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and have been for close to 13 years. I love just about every episode, but this one I could have done without. The Wild World of Batwoman has to be one of the worst movies I have ever laid eyes on, but in most cases I can count on the bots and Joel (or Mike) to make fun of it in such a way that I can't control my laughter. While the riffing was, at times, funny, the movie itself just brought everything down.

I did not like this episode at all and will just have to make due with my collection of much funnier episodes.I do not blame the hosts of the show for the films horrible quality, I blame the movie itself for being so utterly terrible that not even MST3K could save it.

At least they didn't make Batwoman fly! I wouldn't trust a studio hoist with a budget lower than the continental shelf.

At least they didn't make Batwoman fly! I wouldn't trust a studio hoist with a budget lower than the continental shelf.
I enjoyed watching this drive-in feature which probably never got distributed too many blocks beyond the warehouse....or the Producer's garage. Katherine Victor glides into the various scenes with grace and sexiness - she's probably a tad over 42, but that's cool - for a woman who can fly she's got very well-toned legs...and so do her go-go dancer helpers...in fact if you wanna jump to the final scene, all the femininity
reaches critical mass at a pool party. Hip character actor Steve Brodie gets tossed in, to his chagrin, and to the delight of the interns.
Brodie is always good: Elvis Presley fans might remember him as Big El's nemesis in another sunny tunefest [this one's not a musical but I always wanted to use that phrase in a review], "Blue Hawaii", and about three years later, in "Roustabout".
Gotta say, I've only played this movie sans Joel, Crow, and Tom, so maybe there's another star warranted. I'm still getting over their scholarly confab' which drowned out one of Little Richard's rarest songs in another light-hearted, [light-headed?], opus from the same era. I'm scared that I might miss a pearl of wisdom from Rat Fink.
