''Girl in Gold Boots'' was featured as [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S10E02TheGirlInGoldBoots a Season 10 episode]] of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. Thanks to the more lenient approach of the network to the show's movie selections in the final season, it was one of the few Sci-Fi era episodes to not feature any elements of science fiction, fantasy, or horror.

* RidiculousExchangeRates: Critter jokes about having "fifties and hundreds" in his wallet (which gets Buz's attention) -- of course, the bills are all foreign currency left over from Critter's time with the Peace Corps. Incidentally, Critter mentions having Nepalese currency -- a rupee is worth 0.0086 a US dollar. How was he able to afford any Hershey bars?

* WorstNewsJudgmentEver: On the road to L.A. Buz robs a convenience store. Nobody is hurt and he stole only $40. That's about $300 in today's money, but this still somehow made ''the front page'' of the L.A. Times.

''Girl in Gold Boots'' is a 1969 crime/drama film about the seedy underworld of Go-Go dancing, directed by Ted V. Mikels, who also directed ''Film/TheAstroZombies'', ''Film/TheCorpseGrinders'', and ''Film/BloodOrgyOfTheSheDevils''. It can easily be described as "the PG-rated version of ''Film/{{Showgirls}}''."[[note]]Itself a variation of ''Film/AllAboutEve''[[/note]]

* YouWouldMakeAGreatModel: Buz claims he can get Michele a career as a dancer. The fact that Michele wants to get away from her father is what ultimately convinces her to go with Buz. Surprisingly, Buz is being completely honest with Michele about this, but she eventually finds out that her new employers are mobsters. Though it takes a while, and he took her with him to L.A. mainly because he wanted to wiggle his way into her gold pantaloons. And her cash from the Diner's register.

* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: Buz runs into some on his drive through the southwest. He pours a beer on their bikes to pick a fight, then shoots out their tires and leaves them in the desert when they chase him. Michele has no reaction.
** To drive this home, after Buz leaves, one of the bikers slaps the other in an instant rage.

* DullSurprise. Michele. Her idea of terror and worry is an expression of mild concern. Meanwhile, Leo's face has exactly one expression. His [[TheDragon Dragon]] Marty has even fewer.
** Michele looks bored while dealing with her dad. And after.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The diner Michele works at in the beginning has a sign that only says "EAT", a fact which was mocked by ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. People who've never driven cross-country wouldn't be aware, but big "EAT" signs are actually common among roadside diners like that.

* ChronicVillainy: Buz is positively itching to mug someone. Beating in Harry Blatz's skull to avoid paying him his share, while the heist is going off without a hitch and ''right'' after Harry mentioned why that would be a bad idea, is outright StupidEvil and escalates the situation to the point where Leo is forced to take Critter and Michele hostage, which leads to their quick defeat.
** He gets extra points for ''going to work for his sister's pimp'' and continuing to serve the man loyally even after his sister's OD!

* InvisibleBackupBand: Critter sings and plays the guitar, yet a harmonica can be heard out of nowhere. Or as [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] puts it: "Honey, way to play the harmonica with your ass!"
** "He gets a nice harmonica sound out of that gee-tar."
** Interestingly, the harmonica sound seems to come from the actual band's Vox Continental stage organ (as it is heard in a couple songs). At no time does any band member hold a harmonica.
** As for how it winds up in songs where the band isn't present, though...

'''Mike (as Harry):''' Yep, that's the way, you figured out how to do it! Beatin' me in my skull with a tire iron! Oop, there's my brains on the floor!

-->'''Mike (as Buz):''' Wha- oh, a ''gun.'' So ''that'' was the loud report and burning sensation in my groin.

Michele, a young woman who works at a dead-end job at a diner in the middle of nowhere, meets an obviously untrustworthy man named Buz who tries to convince her to go with him to Los Angeles. He claims to have connections that can land her a job as a Go-Go dancer where his sister works. While Michele initially distrusts him, a spat with her abusive alcoholic father leads her to take Buz up on his offer of a roadtrip. The two head to L.A., eventually picking up a hitchhiker named Critter, who also writes songs and plays on his guitar in his spare time. While Michele initially shows attraction to Buz, she rapidly develops feelings for Critter, causing friction between the violent Buz and the peaceful Critter. Once in Los Angeles, the trio arrive at a Go-Go club called the Haunted House where Buz's sister Joan is the leading act. Joan initially takes Michele in as a protege, while her beau/boss Leo brings Critter on as a janitor and Buz on as a drug dealer. After Michele begins to steal Joan's spotlight and becomes a greater and greater attraction, the glittery world of the Go-Go club takes its toll on the lead characters.

Nearly half of the songs in this music-laden movie, including the title song, were written by singer-songwriter and sound engineer Chris Howard, who appears as himself and is backed by a band called "The Third World" in the credits (not to be confused with the famous reggae band Third World). One scene features bongo player Preston Epps, who had achieved some fame a decade earlier with his 1959 pop hit, "Bongo Rock." In fact, Epps is listed in the opening credits as "that Bongo Rock man." Another notable band member at the club in L.A. is Donald [[DonaldDuck "Duck"]] Dunn, later of Film/TheBluesBrothers, on bass guitar.
