Wow.  If ever a movie could be described as a "smorgasbord of crappola",
this is the one.  What a mix of themes/stories/situations...  I don't know
what happened, except that it was painful.  If you enjoy movies with action,
intrigue, the supernatural, beaches, girls with guns, go-go dancing, horror,
mystery, masks, mad scientists, monsters, guitars, wacky disguises,
slapstick, sci-fi, or drugs, then you will absolutely hate this movie.  As
will the rest of you.  I guess "hate" is a strong word - you may enjoy
laughing at this movie, but you will recognize it as B. A. D. bad!

Batwoman is a middle-aged hero (?) with a giant bat tattoo on her chest.
Luckily (for us, and for the actress's career), she wore a Mardi Gras mask
the entire movie.  Anyway, she has a bunch of batgirls who pledge allegiance
to her and drink fake blood to get wristwatch two-way radios, and all they
have to do is go-go dance and watch as people get murdered in the streets.
Huh?  So, Batwoman's arch-nemesis is a peeping tom who wears a Zorro outfit
and goes by the name of Rat Fink.  Yes, Rat Fink.  Now Rat Fink has a couple
of goons who go out to a bar where the batgirls are tearing up the dance
floor and slip a roofie into one of the girl's drinks.  She's brought back
by the comedic duo to the laboratory of a mad scientist and his fidgety
deformed sidekick.  I guess he creates drugs that make you depressed or make
you very happy and force you to dance.  So, they throw the girl in a cage
and call Batwoman to set up a meeting.  At the meeting the scientist tries
to drug her chocolate milk and Rat Fink tries to get her help (I think) in
stealing a great new invention - the atomic hearing aid.  I know what you're
thinking - and no, I did not make this up.  I wish I could make something
like that up - I really do.

So there's a fight and Batwoman escapes and at some point the batgirls are
all drugged by the cronies (disguised with fake moustaches) who serve them
soup.  Batwoman consults the dead and in between some (humorous?) chinese
talk, gets no advice (at least none that I paid attention to).  Meanwhile
one of the girls is taken to a cave where skeletons lean against the wall and
people in leftover "Mole People" costumes are chained up.  Huh?  So Batwoman
uses her homing device/gun/chain destroyer to find Rat Fink's lair (wasn't
she already there?) and save the girls.  Oh, and learn of Rat Fink's
horrible secret.  And the Igor character's secret.  And there's a madcap
dance/chase scene.  And someone spills cobalt on the atomic hearing aid
(which is the size of a car stereo)!

Um, so there you have it - the Wild World Of Batwoman.  There's no need to
tell you how bad the acting is, the incoherency of the plot, the
pointlessness of it all.  You must experience this movie if you are a fan of
the "B" genre.
