Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Average riffs, Great host segments!
Review: The 5 stars is for the Host Segments about Crow's cheating (to quoat Gypsy, "Burn him!"). The riffing is average except for the short on cheating, which is excelent! Sure you can see Cheating on Shorts volume 1, but I'd buy this movie instead because it would save me the pain of listening to those lousy riffs in all the other shorts except Chicken of Tomarrow.

Favorite riff-Mike: You made one mistake, you signed your test Mary Matthews.

PS: I'd like to correct some mistakes I made on my favorite riff on Shorts volume 2, It wasn't Mike who said it, it was Tom Servo, and the guy's name was Joe, not George.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You will whatch this movie a couple times in a row...
Review: It makes such little sence. The movie its self is one of the most random unfunny movie I have ever seen. It seems to have no point, there is a Mexican Wresler a mad scientist some middle age bat woman. I am still not sure of the plot but involves a hearing aid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "And it will pad the film immensely!"
Review: I think this may be the best MST3K I've seen yet. It had a neat short with an actual plot, continuing skits (and an interesting character bit during the opening credits; "You can't have popcorn in the theater!"), and a movie that almost transcends the definition of MST3K fodder. What's amazing is that, if treated seriously, the scenarios might have worked! Mike complains about Ratfink's lack of focus, but what's better than a super-villain with RANGE, as seen in Ratfink's multi-tasking: steal the atomic hearing aid, perfect the duplication process, spike your enemies with dancing serum, breed your mole-monsters with your archenemy's aides and exploit the ancient city. And check out Batwoman's variety, too: high-tech, seances, AND a go-go girl squad? What was going through the filmmaker's mind when he threw all this together? It's too bad he didn't have MORE stuff to splice in! And who IS Batwoman and what's her history with Ratfink? What's the secret of her quasi-vampire secret society of super-girls? And what WAS the deal with the horseshoe? En media res is always nice, but this movie demands a prequel. Mike and the Bots keep up with this zaniness quite well with an above-average collection of quips ("Sir, are you sure you have the right office?" "Simpson, eh?" "I will BRING YOU DOWN, Johnny!" "What's the story, morning glory..." "You don't care about my lunch at all, do you? You know it's there and you deliberately sit on it!" "Jello shot, ma'am?" "What about the hearing aid, am I crazy, wasn't that the plot! "). The only thing I couldn't understand is why no one commented on Professor Neon's remarkable resemblance to Dr. Forrester!

"You've made some powerful enemies, son."

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Possibly the worst movie ever made!
Review: Imagine giving a scriptwriting job to an 8 year old, and you have the plot for this dud. Batwoman looks like an aging hippie madam to her harem of bikini-clad women. Nothing of any redeeming value whatsoever in this movie. If you absolutely feel you MUST see it, then I suggest getting the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment of it. At least THEY have some fun with it and make it partially bearable (but it still hurts to watch it)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ...AND THIS IS 1 WILD WILD WORLD OF A BAD BAD MOVIE!
Review: THIS BATWOMAN LOOKS AS THOUGH SHE OUGHT TO RUN AN ESCORT SERVICE RATHER THAN FACE BADDIES LIKE RATFINK. WHO'S BEHIND THE KINKY MASK? HEIDI FLEISS? THIS MOVIE RESEMBLES A ROTTEN SPOILED TUNA FISH SANDWICH---IT SMELLS! THE SEANCE SCENE IS A HOWLER (AND IT'S ALSO A BIT RACIST) AND THE CLIMAX IS HILARIOUS. MIKE NELSON AND THE 'BOTS DO A GREAT JOB IN HAMMERING THIS MESS!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Incredibly Wacked Out World of Batwoman
Review: This movie almost rivals Manos and Red Zone Cuba as the Worst Movie Ever. There are hole plots, girls dancing with guns, cups of soup, wrist watches, mole people, a crazy run around the table scene that will leave anyone in stitches, and a VERY odd little seance. The guys do an awsome job with so little. Tom Servo at his best. Includes a short on cheating, which is my all time favorite.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Batty film sure to please!
Review: One of those rare gems: a horrifically bad film that's also screamingly funny. Batwoman and her non-too-bright bat-complices fight Ratfink and a stunningly lame script. At least half the scenes appear to have been ad-libbed, including the classic Chinese ouija-board seance, and an indoor chase scene that recalls the delicious absurdity of the toy-fight sequence in "Santa Claus versus the Martains." Proving once again that movie-makers should be licensed. The boys are in rare form as they slash and trash this excercise in swill.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: How bad can a movie be before MST3K can't even save it?
Review: If ever a movie was soooooo bad that even MST3K couldn't get me to sit through it, The Wild Wild World of Batwoman would have been the one. Thank heaven for Mike and the 'bots! This was a downright painful film to sit through, but the SOL crew made it all worthwhile!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'll destroy Miracle Ear and rule the world!
Review: A guy dressed as a Mexican wrestler plots world domination by stealing a nuclear hearing aid so he can listen in on telephone conversations. Our only line of defense is Batwoman and her legion of skimpy-dressed, go-go dancing Batgirls equiped with assault rifles. That's the plot. I'm not joking. Throw in a wacky professor, a hunchback, a Chinese speaking ghost, and footage "borrowed" from "The Mole People," and you got yourself one bad movie. A truly disturbing scene is where the professor kisses the hunchback good-bye just before the nuclear explosion...which everyone somehow survives??? Anyway just watch it, you'll laugh untill you cry, because it hurts oh so much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mystery Science Theater 3000 in perfect form!
Review: Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a fantastically funny show, but never more so than in this episode. From the opening short film (about cheating) to the final reel (Tom Servo screaming at the screen "End! End!"), this is a piece of comic perfection. If you only see one episode of MST3K in your life, it should be this one.
