History Film / WonderWomen

The 1973 ExploitationFilm is produced by and stars Ross Hagen, a gravel-voiced tough guy known for appearing in such schlock as ''Film/TheSidehackers'' and ''Film/TheHellcats''. Other notable cast members are Nancy Kwan (from ''[[AsianHookerStereotype The World of Suzie Wong]]'') as the villainess, Vic Diaz (“the Filipino PeterLorre”) as a zany sidekick, and Maria de Aragon ([[Film/ANewHope Greedo]] herself) as a henchwoman scorned.

-->'''Mike Nelson''': I'm gonna go with [[CthulhuMythos Cthuhlu]]'s ''dick''.

-->'''Mike Nelson''': Dude, she's outrunning you in three-inch heels. You're never allowed to mention your CIA {{badass}} credentials again.

->“This movie has nothing to do with the superhero WonderWoman. It's just this weird crime caper with some sci-fi thrown in, shot in the Philippines for, like, a hundred dollars.”

* RedHeadedHero: Mike Harber and his tousled strawberry mop.

* GoodIsDumb: At one point Harber corners Dr. Tsu and prepares to shoot her with his hand-cannon. When she claims that the glass in front of her is bulletproof, he instantly believes her and lowers his gun.
-->'''Mike Nelson''': ''(as Harber)'' I trust you entirely, power-mad supervillain.

* BrainInAJar: "Goliate", the former basketball player, has a variant on this. His exposed brain is inside a jar on his head. Gregorious [[AttackItsWeakPoint stabs his brain with his cane sword]], [[ForMassiveDamage killing him instantly]].

* BowChickaWowWow: The soundtrack usually sounds like it was lifted from a vintage porno, except for a few scenes featuring carnival wurlitzer music or acid-rock Hammond organ noodling.

* Cukoloris: Wobbly colored lights are projected on the ceiling of the villain's laboratory, just to ramp up the sci-fi vibe.

* TitleThemeTune: Sung by Annette Williams.

-->--[[RiffTrax Kevin Murphy]], managing expectations.

* AlternateDVDCommentary: A [[http://www.rifftrax.com/wonder-women comedic commentary]] was recorded by RiffTrax in 2015.

* BazaarOfTheBizarre / EldritchAbomination: During a chase scene through a bazaar, there is a brief shot of an Asian swamp eel wriggling across the ground. It is on screen for less than a second, has no connection to anything in the plot, and never appears again. The RiffTrax crew can't even agree what the thing was supposed to be.

* AllMenArePerverts: Mike is completely and utterly obsessed with sex, even when it's not even closely germane to the conversation.

* MightyWhitey: It's up to the American to fly into Manila and vanquish a bunch of Asian villains. Not that he does much vanquishing, really.

* ActingForTwo: Ross Hagen plays both Mike Haber and Mr. Paulsen (the wheelchair-bound white haired elderly millionaire).

* WhatTheHellHero / WouldHitAGirl
-->'''Mike Nelson:''' ''(singing)'' He's our hero! He's our hero! Blasting women with a shotgun to the face!

-->'''Kevin:''' ''(sleazily)'' We'll hire the creepiest cinematographer we can find. There we go.

* MaleGaze: Especially notable in a scene where several women descend from an airplane while wearing short skirts.

** Taken to ArtisticLicensePhysics levels when Harber manages to block a point-blank shot from Linda with ''a pillow.''

* SwordCane: Gregorius has got one, in keeping with his role as a sneaky fop.

* TheSeventies: Rose-tinted shades, flared trousers, and feathered hair? You bet your sweet ass!

* GunNut: One of the henchwomen is especially trigger happy, constantly stroking her gun. When one henchwoman goes after a piece of man-flesh she likes, she cocks her gun and growls, "Hands off! He's ''mine'', [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!"

* VillainBall: For no reason, Dr. Tsu gives an order for her minion Linda to be taken away and executed. At this point, Linda has shown no signs of treachery or incompetence, so it's not clear why Dr. Tsu suddenly wants her dead. But it serves the plot, giving Linda a motive and opportunity to effect a HeelFaceTurn.

* GunNut: One of the henchwomen is especially trigger happy, constantly stroking her gun. When one henchwoman goes after a piece of man-flesh she likes, she cocks her gun and growls, "He's ''mine'', [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!"
