RAT PFINK A BOO BOO (1966)

  While watching this classic campy Ray Dennis Steckler film I couldn't help asking myself who the hell this was made for. It starts out like a rough crime flick complete with a woman being roughed up and mugged and then turns into a silly kid-friendly BATMAN-rip-off about a half hour in. Luckily an ape shows up towards the end to make the whole thing better. Apparently the hodgepodge nature of the film has to do with Steckler starting out making a straight-forward crime movie and then getting the brilliant idea of injecting some silly crime-fighters into it after already shooting a bunch of footage. Singer Ron Haydock is in the title role and supplies a couple of tunes including his classic RAT FINK of course.  A good time for trash movie weirdos!

 Presented in "REGULARSCOPE Black and White" though some prints have Rat Pfink's scenes color-tinted.

THE WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN (1966)

 Director Jerry Warren had a whole career making crappy movies. This is another one. No real plot to speak of, cringe-worthy comedic efforts and not much amazing superheroics take place . This one does have some cool stuff in it though. Like rock n roll go-go dancing, goofy outfits, a bad-guy named Rat Fink(who looks nothing like and has nothing to do with the real Rat Fink), some crazy hairdos, the mole people from the movie THE MOLE PEOPLE show up! and it even turns into a beach party movie for a little bit. It's like a time capsule back to before the world was dulled and you could goof on stupid TV shows like BATMAN. Warren did wind up getting sued by DC Comics for that but he ended up winning. He did eventually change the name of this upon re-release to SHE WAS A HIPPY VAMPIRE. Which is a bit weird since no one is actually a vampire. If you're looking for some groovy visuals with not much plot to get in the way throw this on to liven up the atmosphere in your tiki bar.
