History Film / TheWildWorldOfBatwoman

* BareYourMidriff: Quite a few of the young female "Batgirls" in the movie. Most notably the brunette that gets quite a bit of focus in the movie and the girl who wears a leopard outfit of all things.

* TheDitz: Batwoman's entire organization of "batgirls" are this: supposedly superheroes-in-training, but in practice all wildly incompetent {{Faux Action Girl}}s and {{Distressed Damsel}}s -- to the point where Batwoman actually ''counts on'' them getting kidnapped to lead her to Rat Fink.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What became of the girls in the prologue? Or the mugging-gone-wrong?

%% * TechnoBabble: Batwoman deploys it like a champ to defeat Rat Fink's "body divider".

%% * UglyGuyHotWife: The mook and the Batgirl. Tiger really isn't so bad-looking to apply this trope.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: At one point Bruno and Tiger [[SlippingTheMickey knock one of the Batgirls out by putting something in her drink,]] and even ''pick her unconscious body up and carry her away.'' Everyone in the club just ignores this and keeps dancing until we cut to the next scene.

Not to be confused with ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}, a Creator/DCComics character. Though, obviously, [[{{Mockbuster}} that's what the producer was hoping for.]]

The film doesn't end here, but this summary does. Because words simply cannot describe the [[{{Narm}} sheer goofiness]] of that climactic fight scene. Or the {{Denouement}} afterwards. But, if you're brave, you can read for yourself, [[http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/The_Wild_World_of_Batwoman_1966.aspx here]].

* {{Corpsing}}: Katherine Victor is barely holding it together during the ChingChong seance.

* BlackComedyRape: Plotting to force-breed a bunch of women with ''Film/TheMolePeople'' StockFootage in an otherwise goofy, lighthearted but rather stupid camp-fest would certainly qualify. Pretty much a MoralEventHorizon moment for Rat Fink.

* TheDitz: Batwoman's entire organization of "batgirls" are this: supposedly superheroes-in-training, but in practice all wildly incompetent {{Faux Action Girl}}s and {{Distressed Damsel}}s.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Inverted, Rat Fink speaks in a slightly higher, yet gruffer, voice than his rather nebbishy civilian self.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Inverted, Rat Fink speaks in a slightly higher, yet gruffer, voice than his civilian self.

* CoversAlwaysLie: Two instances in the above-pictured poster. First, Batwoman's outfit depicted on the poster looks nothing like what she wears in the movie. Second, the poster depicts Bruno choking a woman, presumably a batgirl, when nothing like that happens in the movie.

* CatFight: Some of the batgirls get into a fight [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]] of a scene, apparently over some disput involving a game of horseshoes.

* MaleGaze: There are lots of scenes of the Bat Girls dancing, during which the camera usually lingers on them shaking what their mammas gave 'em.

* NoSmoking: The Batgirls shoot Flanagan some ''seriously'' nasty looks when he offers them a cigarette.

* {{Malaproper}}: The prologue, where the Batgirl recruits are told that they're "only vampires in a '''synthetic''' sense." From context, the word they were looking for was probably '''aesthetic''', which is to say that they are adopting the appearance and stylings of vampires. By comparison, to call oneself a "synthetic" vampire, would imply that they were created artificially from laboratory chemicals.

* SecretIdentity: Averted. Batwoman is apparently Batwoman 24/7 and is even listed so in the phone book.

* NonIndicativeTitle: "She Was A Hippy Vampire". There aren't any hippies in the movie, and they're not really vampires either. The Batgirl initiation involves drinking "blood" that's actually a strawberry fruit cocktail smoothie, because they're only [[YouKeepUsingThatWord "synthetic" vampires]].

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: The prologue, where the Batgirl recruits are told that they're "only vampires in a '''synthetic''' sense." From context, the word they were looking for was probably '''aesthetic''', which is to say that they are adopting the appearance and stylings of vampires. By comparison, to call oneself a "synthetic" vampire, would imply that they were created artificially from laboratory chemicals.

** Prof. Neon seems to be going for a stereotypical German scientist. What he delivers is, according to [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Tom Servo]], vaguely European (when he doesn't sound East Indian).

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: The prologue, where the Batgirl recruits are told that they're "only vampires in a '''synthetic''' sense." From context, the word they were looking for was probably '''aesthetic''', which is to say that they are adopting the appearance and stylings of vampires. By comparison, to call oneself a "synthetic" vampire, would imply that they werecreated artificially from laboratory chemicals.

With the popularity of the ''Series/Batman1966'' television series, director Jerry Warren decided to make his own bat-focused superhero film. After winning a settlement from being sued for copyright infringement, Warren re-released the film under the title ''She Was a Hippy Vampire''. Like Warren's other films, it's seen by modern critics and filmmakers as almost watchable. ''Almost.''

* AffablyEvil: Rat Fink seems to be going for this trope, but he's not very good at it.

* CatFight: Over a horseshoe or something.
* ChingChong: Because it's '''funny''', dammit!

* TheDitz: Batwoman's entire organization seems to be made up of these. Amazing that she doesn't fire all of them and get smart women. [[FauxActionGirl These gals]] [[DistressedDamsel should have]] [[IdiotBall the word "stupid"]] stamped on their foreheads. Even the more mature, grandiose, and reserved Batwoman isn't much better.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Professor G. Octavius Neon. For most of the movie he comes across as a generally decent guy (for a MadScientist) who was unfortunately caught under the thumb of a dangerous super criminal, and there are times when he shows genuine concern for his monsters, whom he treats like children. Then you reach the film's {{Denouement}} when Heathcliff regains his voice and his wits. [[spoiler: He reveals that he was formerly Neon's best friend and primary source of funds, before Neon secretly performed dangerous experiments on him to turn him into a gibbering simpleton, apparently so that Neon could have unlimited access to Heathcliff's money.]]

* FreezeFrameBonus / GettingCrapPastTheRadar: It's hard to spot, but during the scene of the Batgirls frugging at the beach, one shot features a [[FunnyBackgroundEvent background extra]] FlippingTheBird at the camera.

* GracefulLoser: Professor Neon, which seriously irks Rat Fink.

* HerrDoktor: Professor Neon (done rather poorly by his actor, he occasionally slips into 'East-Indian Guy' territory).
-->'''Neon:''' If you take this pill...\\
'''Tom Servo:''' I will stop talking like Gandhi.
* IdiotBall: Batwoman ''knows'' that Professor Neon has a pill that gives people uncontrolled euphoria, but during her dinner with Flanagan, when she sees someone at another table dancing, she shrugs it off and eats a bowl of soup she didn't order given to her by a suspicious waiter. "HilarityEnsues" is too strong a word for anything in this movie, but ''something'' ensues.

* MesACrowd: Rat Fink's body divider.

* {{Mockbuster}}: A surprisingly early example.

* MoralEventHorizon: InUniverse; if you don't consider his plan to cross-breed Batgirls with Mole People to be this, then Rat Frink still crosses it with his TakingYouWithMe declaration. The latter becomes one InUniverse as well, causing Bruno and Neon to both pull a HeelFaceTurn since they aren't willing to die because of him.

* NonFatalExplosions: Eventually the characters end up practically at ground zero of a nuclear explosion, which they get out of with nary a scratch.
* NonIndicativeTitle: "She Was A Hippy Vampire". There aren't any hippies in the movie either, and the "vampire" part is a real stretch, since the initiation of a Batgirl is to drink blood -- "blood" that's actually a strawberry fruit cocktail smoothie. It's explained they're "synthetic" vampires--whatever ''that's'' supposed to mean.

* PowerPerversionPotential: It's actually a '''plot point''' as being an audio peeping tom is Rat Fink's secret obsession.
* RummageSaleReject: Katherine Victor made her own costume.

** There's also the "Dwight D. Eisenhower the Weird-Accented Night Watchman Scene"... or the shot in the club with the band when Mike goes "Oh no! Just when I thought this movie couldn't get any worse, Ringo's in it!". Heck, any part or shot in the movie that looks good is stock footage.
* SuperBreedingProgram: Rat Fink's interested in mating Neon's monsters with captive human women, for some reason, rather than being content with them as they are. He ''is'' a voyeur, so maybe he just wants to watch?
* SuperheroPackingHeat: For a given value of "superhero", the Batgirls who use a wide assortment of firearms. Batwoman herself prefers a RayGun.

* TechnoBabble: Batwoman deploys it like a champ to defeat Rat Fink's "body divider".

* VegetarianVampire: The prologue explains away the "vampires" this way.

* NonIndicativeTitle: "She Was A Hippy Vampire". There aren't any hippies in the movie either, and the "vampire" part is a real stretch, since the initiation of a Batgirl is to drink blood -- "blood" that's actually a strawberry fruit cocktail smoothie. It's explained they're "synthetic" vampires.

* UglyGuyHotWife: The mook and the Batgirl.
