Great Moments in Stock Footage: Wild World of Batwoman

This little movie has mostly been forgotten, save for some mild exposure it got during one of the best shows of all time: Mystery Science Theater 3000. It is the tale of a young woman in a silly outfit who leads scantily-clad woman to battle an evil, mad scientist. The whole thing makes almost no sense and was made to cash in on the popularity of the Batman live-action show. This is the reason why it appears in this segment...

There is a scene towards the middle where the villain is giving one of his comrades a tour of his lair and opens a door to show some of his monsters. This immediately cuts to...stock footage from the low-rent film The Mole People. Um...they aren't in this movie. Apparently, the director got this clue as well, since the movie cuts away from them after about a minute. That was completely pointless, movie. Thanks.

Up next, Bruno Mattei goes to Africa by way of...Japan? Stay tuned...

  2. That basically sums up the whole movie, to be honest. I just re-watched it today. I like it how made Mike and company cry.
