No job is too big for the Wonder Women - our new B-movie riff, now available!

A fiendish super-villain is kidnapping star jai alai players in order to harvest their organs! Even more shocking, someone pitched that plot to a Hollywood executive and they said "Yes, we'll make that movie!"

And when you want an obscure paddle sport champion kidnapped, there's only one group to turn to: The Wonder Women! No job is too big, no outfit too skimpy, no catfight with fellow Wonder Women worth passing up! (Warning: Please note that we said Women, not Woman. This movie does not contain any invisible airplanes or golden lassos. If you or a loved one dons an American flag style leotard at any point during the viewing, please consult a doctor, especially if it's grandpa doing the donning.)

The only thing that stands in their way is Ross Hagen. Well, Ross Hagen and several thousand Filipino citizens who were apparently unaware that a movie was being filmed and literally stand in the way during the movie's several chase scenes. Fortunately, their lives were endangered, quite possibly lost, for a quality production, one that uses something called "Brain Sex" as a central plot point.

Mike, Kevin, and Bill don Lynda Carter's Bracelets of Submission to riff Wonder Women, the rare sort of movie that manages to rip off Charlie's Angels despite coming out three years before Charlie's Angels.

Never heard of it, but am reading about it. Ross Hagen and Claire Polan were both in SIDEHACKERS.

This was one of the funnier ones I've seen in a long while! Excellent Rifftrax, ridiculous movie!

Damn! First shot of the movie and we've got some first class nudity! Now I wish I'd have paid for the HD.

So...this is basically really really lame Bond ripoff filmed mostly from the villain henchwomen's perspective?

Bond?  It's a lame Flint ripoff at best.

We had to watch the chase scene a couple of times to verify that some poor extra got nailed by one of those little buses...that was no acting, that was real and serious impact.  I can't imagine having my hip crushed for the sake of a B minus piece of shite like that stinker.  I bet they were really pleased with the realism when they went to edit it..."Gee Rich, should we cut that bit?  You know, the guy died from internal injuries."  "No, it looks great!  Just send the family a six pack of Mountain Dew and some Pall Malls."

I STRONGLY think this riff's product page should have a warning about the animal cruelty in it.

I don't watch Rifftrax with animal cruelty a second time. And  I warn my friends about them.  As for cock-fighting, well, I don't like anyone fucking with my cocks.

According to IMDB: "The man who gets hit by a car and knocked down to the ground during the car chase sequence wasn't a planned stunt. Fortunately, the man didn't get hurt. "

I agree with this. It was offputting, and downright surreal to see the movie just show cockfighting in extended shots, like it was  no big deal.

So cock-fighting sequence not okay and off-putting enough to deter people away from the movie; guy getting hit by a car: Okay?

Look, I'm all for caring for animals and all of that; but at the same time I can't say the cock-fight sequences bothered me all that much or deter me from watching the movie.

The human getting hurt was an accident. Animal cruelty isn't.

This and we know the guy that got hit wasn't hurt and in fact survived.

I eat chicken regularly. Who am I to talk.

You might want to avoid the movie The Cockfighter with Warren Oates even though it is directed by the guy who did Two Lane Blacktop.

Yeah, I have, even though I really enjoyed TLB as well as Ride in the Whilrwind and The Shooting.
