TB69-a WONDER WOMAN treat

[openuniverse2003]

Mention the name "Richard Roundtree" to her and watch her go all stone-faced. (Must have been that "coal burning" phase American cunts go through. LULZ!

[themirrorsofmymind]

I can't remember, but I don't think she deflects bullets with the bracelets she wears in this. I know she uses one like a grappling hook, and one somehow blows up Abner's (Montalban's) helicopter near the end. The battle between her and that PSYCHO-babe 'sister' of her's was EXCELLENT!

[themirrorsofmymind]

The first time I saw any version of the character was in the Cathy Lee Crosby film. Once I started watching Lynda Carter, I was a bit puzzled (since I never knew that Wonder Woman had DARK HAIR in comics) but I was instantly hooked on her righteous (but NEVER self-righteous) portrayal of the character. I never forgot Cathy, though, so it's nice to see this move once in a while, particularly on a COLOR TV. We were SO poor, back then. Who knew the mud (lava?) was in 3 different shades! HA!

Looks rather like she took Robin's costume and added an overly-American patriotic feel to it, as if she desperately wanted to avoid any questions about her nationality. Probably a smart move, though.

My Mom went to school w/ her.

Never thought about it but the was the 1st launch, failure and then reboot of a superhero incarnation in just a matter of a few short years. Amazing that in those days they could get a studio to do that.

[ProjectFlashlight612]

This isn't actually that bad! The Robin Hood style costume was in keeping with the heyday of feminism, and Crosby's fine as WW. It's just that Lynda Carter IS Wonder Woman, she totally owns the role, just as the late great Chris Reeve will

always be Superman. You can't improve or challenge perfection. Or at least you shouldn't. :)

I remember Crosby's Wonder Woman. Very underrated.

[BradJC70]

I remember, even at the age of eight feeling ripped-off with this bastardized version of my idol. And that was before Lynda Carter appeared. When Lynda became the character, I felt that my prayers were actually answered!!

[deepseadirt]

how did you feel about the Bionic Woman?

[BradJC70]

She did nothing for me. Always wished for a cross-over with W.W. though. Diana'd kicked her ass too! ha!

[bingbong35]

Wonder Woman in the comics during the late 60' and early 70's was depowered and became sort of like just a spy Emma Peel(Avengers)style from what I read somewhere on the net. John D. F. Black, the screenwriter of this tv film depowered her and wanted her blond.

i love the theme music!

[bobthenerve]

Looks more like SPACE WOMAN than WONDER WOMAN. The comic had been around for a long time. They could have at least tried to have mimicked it! The 70's was all about the jiggle-fest. Why did they over her up!

So, where can one get their hands on this version? I assume it was a TV movie. 70s msuic was the best. Love the horns!

[wonderwaxman]

oh....and she already looked too old for the part....

[wonderwaxman]

This was terrible.....she should have known better....stick with tennis.

Well, at least she had That's Incredible...

well, sort of....

[60sThru80s]

I can't be a fair critic. I LOVE the early Crosby version, but mostly because of nostalgia. This was a time when there were not too many film adaptations of comic book heroes appearing on TV. We took what we got.

Most rate the Crosby version very low. But I can hear the Crosby theme music, close my eyes, and I can see my Junior High School again.

[Milimbar879]

I liked this movie with Cathy Lee. Not nearly as good as the series but not a bad wonder woman.

[atrac88]

This very much reminds me of Daniel Craig playing James Bond with blond hair. :)

And that main theme is catchy, even if it sounds like the main instrument is a dentist's drill.

[bluedragon4]

I remember this. Thank God it didn't ruin Wonder Woman being brought back to TV in her original form. Imagine if Lynda Carter never was Wonder Woman and this was the only live action Wonder Woman movie?! Still, this was fun.

[scottw11354]

The theme music was quite good.

[themysciranprince]

great
