Watching this movie without Mike, Crow, and Tom Servo verbally ripping it to shreds (and rightfully so) should be classified as a crime against humanity.
People talk about Hobgoblins being the "Manos" for the Mike-era, I think this movie would challenge that title. Or at least say this is the "Manos" of the Mike-era when Dr. Forrester was the main Mad and Hobgoblins was for when Pearl was the main Mad.
I'd argue that the truly bad films for Mike and Joel were Invasion of the Neptune Men and Monsters A-Go-Go. Both fundamentally broke the cast on-camera in ways that were overt in how horrible they were.
I think this is worse than Hobgoblins. I think hobgoblins is very similar to this, in that it seems like they were purposely making a bad movie and taunting us with how bad it was. Although I think Hobgoblins is much more tolerable than this and I can still laugh with Mike and the bots. This movie is so loathsome, the satellite of love crew barely make it watchable.
You left out one of my favorite lines. When Rat Fink kidnaps the first batgirl on the beach, Servo quips "Was that part of the movie or did that really happen?"
When you're monologuing to your chained-up captives and one of them decides to yawn theatrically in response, it's time to brush up on your public speaking. You know, they make shorts about that...
One of my favorite riffs is during the infamous "Chinese" scene, when Crow said "Yoko, no!" in a tone one would use to stop their cat from scratching the couch. My lungs took a hell of a beating when I first heard that one.
"Ah, folks, take our word for it, something happened." "They just put a bunch of movies into a blender and pressed the mix button!" "I'll give you certain specifics at a certain time." "Sorry dont' pay the gas bills Doctor!" "Just when I thought the movie couldn't get any worse, Ringo's in it!" "END! ENNNNNNNNNNNNND!"
Mike: D'oh! Just when I thought the movie couldn't get any worse, Ringo is in it! Servo: Oh, no! Crow: HEY, HITLER!! WE WANNA ORDER HERE!! Servo: Just a minute!
The only way to watch this awful movie is in this condensed format. Thank you for this upload and all the others as well. The editing is so well done and I’m eternally grateful you took time to do this!
Inexplicably, Mike and the ‘bots don’t bring up the similarities between the bespectacled professor and Dr. Forrester. It was practically gift-wrapped for them!
Let's be honest, that short "Cheating" was 1000x more entertaining than that grotesque "Wild, Wild World Of Batwoman". May all those even remotely involved in the creation of that movie rot in the bowels of Hell.
I think both of them are equally good in a bad sort of way. Though I wonder if fear over Warner Brothers suing the show over doing any major Batman-themed sketches was the real reason the host segments for this episode focused on the Cheating sketches for the most part.
"I don't think you'd want to come to this meeting, it's about you." Yeah, no reason why someone would want to appear at the meeting deciding if he should be expelled from the council or not. I mean, why would he want the opportunity to defend himself?
Not that he really had a defense. Even if he explained his reasons for cheating (overwhelmed with schoolwork and council duties), I'm sure he still would've been kicked out. It's also so they can vote without John knowing who voted to kick him out.
ya know they're were some movies on MST3K that might have been salvageable, but this one was seriously one of the worst, I would say Manos is a better movie then this one, I mean Manos was terrible but at least it was an entertaining terrible, this one is just stupid.
This was next-to-impossible to watch even with the riffing and Servo screaming "EEEEEEEEEEEEND!!!!!" at the top of his lungs. Even though cheating short and all the host segments are very hilarious and make up for it.
Fun fact (I guess?), Jim Flanagan (11:54), is being played by the one and only Steve Brodie... who you may remember as "Vaaaaaaaannncceee!" from Giant Spider Invasion.
💗 Church. I love little bad movies because the people who make them are so ambitious, they over do it and you have to be very resourceful to make an independent film. Bad big movies are a result of apathy. Despite limitless budgets and resources, sad.
I know this is one of those movies hard as hell to cut down to "best of" but still a few nice ones you had to leave off: Ratfink: "I want to let you know, I'm disgusted by the work of all of you over there." Mike: "I think he speaks for all of us." Guys groan at girl tied to rope "This is hitting new depths!" "It's possible they're making an electric Santa Claus." "At this point, they could be doing anything!" "Why do you think I have these girls?" "I give up, why?"
Ha-hee-ha-ho! Fantastic! Auritone, this is the Best Favoritwe Moments Yet! I laughed my butt off. That movie was so AWFUL it was wonderful. Yes, thank you Best Brains and thank YOU Auritone! Great stuff!
I think it might be, it’s hard to find on TH-cam now so I forget about it and watching this great clip brings back memories of how awful it truly is. This is actually the best way to watch it, only the best riffs of an unwatchable movie.
I barely made it through this movie with Mike and the bots riffing it. The 7 worst movies ever featured on MST3K -Projected Man -The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman -The Castle of Fu Manchu -The Beast of Yucca Flats -Hobgoblins -Manos: The Hands of Fate -Monster A Go-Go
I like The Projected Man and Space Children as well. I just don’t think they are THAT horrible, add the riffing and they are gold. They are on my top 10 MST3K episodes. Monster a Go-Go is the absolute worse with Hobgoblins a close second. And this. Even with the riffing these are hard to get through.
I friggin' HATE The Wild Wild World Of Batwoman, and I mean HATE. I'd go so far to say that it ranks as one of the worst movies that was ever riffed on this show, because of how stupid and banal it is. My brother actually considers it worse than Manos, it's that bad. However, Mike and the bots made viewing this one tolerable with their always funny quipping, and the short beforehand was brilliantly mocked for its melodramatic execution.
I think this is the worst films they’ve ever reviewed. Not only is it awful on every possible level, but what makes it worse is that it seemed like everyone involved in this movie was purposely making a bad movie and then taunting the audience with how bad it is.
It ain't gonna win any oscars, but after watching this "best of" version of (the MST3K version of) it, I _have_ to watch it! _That_ many girls in bikinis (& the short & the riffin') are definitely _my_ thing!
Clam diggers mean sex outside of love. The crap just subsides from there. Then comes the forbidden whatever that leads to you know what, that leads to you know where and the next thing you have is some kind of riding around and talking about some kind of sex and then your in a drive-in and smooching and nothing happens and then the credits. Awesome. Thanks MST3K!!
"END! END!"
Mr. Servo summed it all up for me.
Tom's outburst at the end is the stuff I live for. EEEEEEEEEEEEND!!!!!
I think this was the first flick to nearly break the guys. But it wouldn't b the last, lol.
No, there was Fu Manchu and Manos before this.
There was Mitchell (during that one scene & the end of the episode)
Ruby Stevens Not to mention the rock climbing “deep hurting” of The Lost Continent.
The final driving scene in Manos summed up
Can you believe there are no videos of just Tom shouting "END! EEND!"
"Somebody's gonna get killed!"
Crow: Definitely acceptable losses.
My thoughts exactly.
"So, Mike... This is Hell."
"pretty much."
Watching this movie without Mike, Crow, and Tom Servo verbally ripping it to shreds (and rightfully so) should be classified as a crime against humanity.
" She's wearing a gownless evening strap."
Their freakout when the Professor kisses Heathcliff still cracks me up.
80MWH “And another thing: you kissed me. What was that about?”
EEENNND!!!!! EENNND!!!!!
"You got your Mole People in my Batwoman!"
"You got your Batwoman in my Mole People!"
Tom flipping shit looks left/right rapidly shouting END END! Slays me.
I'm sure this is how Kevin felt too by the end of this hot mess!

A couple of movies in Pearl's era got WAY too overrated like Werewolf, Final Sacrifice, and Space Mutiny,

You know, they make shorts about that...
"Looking very relaxed, Hugh Beaumont on sax."
the cheating short is like a bad Ingmar Bergman film, only with even more angst.
"Oh, hi, Mrs. Gramby-- AAAAAAHHHHH!!! Get away!"
I am SUPREMELY disappointed that Katherine Victor and Adam West never starred in anything together. The lost potential....
☁️☁️💙☁️💙☁️☁️
They may be doing just that, in Heaven. Infact I guarantee it. Heaven is a place of 💙☁️All Love☁️📽💙☁️🦇
Many years ago I actually purchased a copy of "The Wild Wild World of Batwoman" and found it was even more horrible than I could have imagined.
My condolences.
On sheer principle, anyone who purchases this movie should immediately be given a refund and apology by whoever sold it to them.
4:01 Tom Servo: "I'm as mad hell!"
Me: "It's my money, and I want it now!!"
END! END!
"Cheating is bad. Richard Basehart is good." -Gypsy
That's 40 pounds of butt in 30 pound butt-capacity pants
I'm not complaining.
One of my favorite riffs is during the infamous "Chinese" scene, when Crow said "Yoko, no!" in a tone one would use to stop their cat from scratching the couch. My lungs took a hell of a beating when I first heard that one.
Fritz Lang's "Beaches".
.....and I thought 'Plan 9 from outer space' was bad...
MrGchiasson Right now Jerry Warren & Ed Wood are playing Cribbage in the 10th level of Hell.
I still can't believe Batwoman passed away. =( May she rest in peace.
I can't believe the people who were involved couldn't see how many brain cells were lost in the creation of this film.
"She's got a frontal bike rack!"
"THERE'S A MAN ON THE WING OF THE PLANE!!!"
*gasp*
"...no, there isn't..."
"Oh..."
I laughed harder than I probably should have at that.
"Ah, folks, take our word for it, something happened."
"They just put a bunch of movies into a blender and pressed the mix button!"
"I'll give you certain specifics at a certain time."
"Sorry dont' pay the gas bills Doctor!"
"Just when I thought the movie couldn't get any worse, Ringo's in it!"
"END! ENNNNNNNNNNNNND!"
"Dance and guns and soup don't mix"
Hehehehe! Will they will just stop dancing!
"So there's a subplot about a horseshoe then..."
Mike: D'oh! Just when I thought the movie couldn't get any worse, Ringo is in it!
Servo: Oh, no!
Crow: HEY, HITLER!! WE WANNA ORDER HERE!!
Servo: Just a minute!
“May I introduce myself?”
I thought they were going to quote The Humpty Dance.
It's like we're smart but we're not!
i just wanna know how Yoko Ono there sat dressed like that with a straight friggin face the whole time. Its pratically Oscar-worthy, lol.
The only way to watch this awful movie is in this condensed format. Thank you for this upload and all the others as well. The editing is so well done and I’m eternally grateful you took time to do this!
Thank you for the kind words. It is my absolute pleasure, and I wish I had time to make more.
@@auritoneI watch these all the time, and at night I listen to them, laugh but eventually drift to sleep 💤
@@teresas8173 Me too.
"You know the first thing I'm gonna do when I get home?""See your family?""Nope. I'm gonna hunt down Jerry Warren.:
Warren was also responsible for "Frankenstein Island!"
IT WAS A DARK AND ST- oh.
Inexplicably, Mike and the ‘bots don’t bring up the similarities between the bespectacled professor and Dr. Forrester. It was practically gift-wrapped for them!
Maybe too easy?
Professor: We’ve still got three minutes of class time. Maybe we can squeeze in-
Me: 14:31

"Mary..........will you kill me" That line cracks me up me every time I hear it
Wow this move looks ridiculously terrible, thank God for mst3k.
It depends. If you enjoy movies so bad you just watch in utter shock at the fact it was made, this movie is great.
"Bad touch El Santo!"
"I don't think you'd want to come to this meeting, it's about you."

Manos is a 8 Oscar winner compared to this
Dr. Clayton Forrester @ 5:21.
by the way, have you seen my ribcage?
My friend, Nicely-Nicely!
you know, that might not REALLY be Chinese.
Dance and guns and soup DON’T MIX
End!! End!!!
Crow: "Yoko! No!"
When I saw the short was about cheating, I thought it meant the other kind.
You're cheating on me with your homework! Don't do your homework anymore - I should be enough for you!
Yes the devil made this movie for you!!
What the hell was up with that kiss!?!
*That's* the part of this movie that confuses you?
This movie is so damn painful to watch that I only watch this arranged version now.
I liked the line "I have to bathe mother"
Fun fact (I guess?), Jim Flanagan (11:54), is being played by the one and only Steve Brodie... who you may remember as "Vaaaaaaaannncceee!" from Giant Spider Invasion.
Holy crap, that's right....
Was that...GILLAGAN?

I love little bad movies because the people who make them are so ambitious, they over do it and you have to be very resourceful to make an independent film.
Bad big movies are a result of apathy. Despite limitless budgets and resources, sad.
Also... @13:40 You know, at his worst, Charles Nelson Reilly never descended to this level of depravity.
11:05 Mickey Rooney's impersonation of Ho Chi Minh. 🤪
Gotta say it... *I LOVE THIS MOVIE!*
It's campy, it's cheesy... It's glorious!
With or without riffing? Because this film is an *unwatchable* piece of filth.
I know this is one of those movies hard as hell to cut down to "best of" but still a few nice ones you had to leave off:
Ratfink: "I want to let you know, I'm disgusted by the work of all of you over there."
Mike: "I think he speaks for all of us."
Guys groan at girl tied to rope "This is hitting new depths!"
"It's possible they're making an electric Santa Claus."
"At this point, they could be doing anything!"
"Why do you think I have these girls?"
"I give up, why?"
Ha-hee-ha-ho! Fantastic! Auritone, this is the Best Favoritwe Moments Yet! I laughed my butt off. That movie was so AWFUL it was wonderful.
Yes, thank you Best Brains and thank YOU Auritone! Great stuff!
@1:00 "John this is geography!" Lololol!
Oh that's great, she bites the hell out of that guys hand 😅, you go Yoko!
Phew you're out of paper, I had to use Heathcliff, he didn't mind....
The, 'Cheeks and Cleavage' Corporation.
Is it just me or was this one worse than Manos and Hobgoblins COMBINED?!?
Well, it is at least close.
I think it might be, it’s hard to find on TH-cam now so I forget about it and watching this great clip brings back memories of how awful it truly is. This is actually the best way to watch it, only the best riffs of an unwatchable movie.
This is like Red Zone Cuba and manos combined in terms of awfulness.
Riddle me this Batman! he he ho ho ho just priceless
My favorite Crow moment.
Phew, well you´re out of paper, i had to use Heathcliff. He didn´t mind.
Why does Ratfink's voice sound so familiar?
Jerry Warren got an account to dislike this.
Since 1988, the very worms in the ground gag on his putrid flesh.
Therapist: You can't hear pictures.
The picture: 14:30
What was the deal with the Mole People footage? Of all the movies to take B roll from, they take it from that? For a nonsensical plot cul-de-sac?
@7:05 Burgess Meredith Mania. Not Burgess Meredith but an incredible simulation.
I barely made it through this movie with Mike and the bots riffing it.
The 7 worst movies ever featured on MST3K
-Projected Man
-The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman
-The Castle of Fu Manchu
-The Beast of Yucca Flats
-Hobgoblins
-Manos: The Hands of Fate
-Monster A Go-Go
You're forgetting "The Final Sacrifice."
Coral Roper No, that was one of the BEST!
What about "Red Zone Cuba" or "Cave Dwellers"?
I'd say both Manos: Hands Of Fate & Monster-A-Go-Go are tied for 1st place in the bad movie hierarchy. Oh, and you forgot The Space Children.
I like The Projected Man and Space Children as well. I just don’t think they are THAT horrible, add the riffing and they are gold. They are on my top 10 MST3K episodes. Monster a Go-Go is the absolute worse with Hobgoblins a close second. And this. Even with the riffing these are hard to get through.
END! ENNNNDDD!!!
It's FUN when it's fun! HeHeHeHeHe!!!
"they found the body huh" ha ha
Geeze...I think Outlaw of Gore has just been overtaken for my nomination of worst movie ever featured on MST3K.
Still did better than the CW show...
Still not as bad as R.O.T.O.R.
I friggin' HATE The Wild Wild World Of Batwoman, and I mean HATE. I'd go so far to say that it ranks as one of the worst movies that was ever riffed on this show, because of how stupid and banal it is. My brother actually considers it worse than Manos, it's that bad.

it doesn't have the light hearted fun of zap rossdower,or the pity inducing deformed body torgo,
I think this is the worst films they’ve ever reviewed. Not only is it awful on every possible level, but what makes it worse is that it seemed like everyone involved in this movie was purposely making a bad movie and then taunting the audience with how bad it is.

This movie is so deep You can't possibly figure out anything. That's the beauty
the guys made hobgoblins (barely) watchable; this was the worst, this & hamlet.
Don’t forget Monster a Go-Go! HORRIBLE!
the castle of fu manchu, and manos count too.
Clam diggers mean sex outside of love. The crap just subsides from there. Then comes the forbidden whatever that leads to you know what, that leads to you know where and the next thing you have is some kind of riding around and talking about some kind of sex and then your in a drive-in and smooching and nothing happens and then the credits.

Thanks MST3K!!
Riddle me this, Batman!
Best line of the short! 🤣
I will bring you down Johnny.
Oh, hi Miss Granby- HUH? AAAAAAHHH! AAAAAH GETITAWAY!!!
The Lowest of "Low Budget" films!
Well, Manos may be lower…
@@auritone There are a Few in the, "Running for 1st Place," yes...
"Manos" is, I'd say, in the Top 3!
Wait, that flick had a budget? 💸
You're right about this movie.... but wrong about Drop Dead Fred.
Mary charged him $20 bucks.....then leached him while in office.
batwoman tit for tat
Saw that one coming. 😏
bad touch el santo XD
14:15 What the??!!!
Forget Manos & Plan 9 we have found the Winner
Long live the NRA! :)
