If AM 70s radio were a movie...
5 June 2021
Looking over the reviews here in chronological order, the reviewers from the early 2000s liked it a lot, even liked the acting and direction. I have no idea what those folks were watching because this flick was straight trash. I'm giving it 3 stars just for the time travel trip. I was a child in these years and love the nostalgia of watching cars and clothes and music from years that I have little memory of. I was old enough to remember Wonder Woman, though at the time I wasn't a fan (more into Farrah). But seeing Lynda Carter in this movie gave me a newfound respect for how off the charts sexy she was. That costume didn't really do her justice the way this movie did. And the third star goes to the actress who played the hanger-on character. She was introduced as the frumpy, dowdy, friend of Carter's. But seeing her little perky tits in the lake doing mushrooms, she stole the show. Never underestimate the "friend of the hot chick". She was sexier than Lynda's sister in the movie, who I'm sure the producers had high hopes for. But other than that, this movie was dumb. How many times can the cops surround the gang and they still escape? The gang leader was a true sociopath, but not in a way that gave any meaning to his story arc. He's not an anti- hero, he's just a bad guy from the start. Too many plot holes to count, but I understand, that's not what anyone who watched this back in the day was interested in. Cheers to Lynda Carter and perky little Ms. Balinski. And to 1976.
