Movie Reviews of Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Wild World of Batwoman
Movie Review: I Still Don't Know What Happened...
Summary: 2 Stars
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!
Summary of Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Wild World of Batwoman
A mad scientist attempts to drive his captive, Mike Nelson, insane by forcing him to watch B-Movies. This episode's feature is "The Wild World of Batwoman" (1966, 70min.) - Batwoman struggles to help her recover a mad scientist's invention, an atomic bomb hearing aid, before the evil villian, Rat Fink, can use it for his own personal agenda.Nothing captures the peculiar pastiche of the pop-cultural zeitgeist like Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K to fans). The formula is simple: subject a hapless temp worker, Mike Nelson, and his robot friends, Tom Servo and Crow, marooned in space to the worst B, C, even Z-grade movies imaginable and record the results. On The Wild World of Batwoman, they quip through a movie summed up best by Crow: "It looks like they just put a whole lotta movies in a blender and turned it on really fast!" The plot of the movie is hapless at best, inexplicably puncuated by bikini-clad "Batgirls" go-go dancing with guns (Mike quips: "That's 40 pounds of butt in pants with a 30-pound capacity."). The episode starts with a '50s educational short on student cheating that is so dour in tone that Tom wonders, "Is this Ingmar Bergman's first American movie?" In a sub-skit, Tom and Crow go mano a mano (or roboto a roboto) trying to out-shun each other: "I double shun you." Tom trumps with, "I shun you version 3.0 for Windows." The worse the movie, the better and more wacky the MST3K episode; never has subpar art ever inspired such heights of hilarity, and Batwoman is as bad as they come. Which means it's great. Get it? --Tod Nelson
