Electra Woman and Dyna Girl Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
DearJohnny One of three segments presented on the 70's Saturday morning kidvid THE KROFT SUPERSHOW; The others were 'Wonderbug,' a Herbie The Love Bug knockoff, and 'Doctor Shrinker,' about a mad scientist who shrinks three teens. All three, if I remember right, were dumped in favor of new short features when the SUPERSHOW came back for a second season, though 'Wonderbug' might have stayed around. Only eight episodes of 'Electra-Woman And Dyna-Girl' were produced, but they're vividly, and sometimes even fondly, remembered by Generation Xers. A weird, low-budget pastiche of the campy 1960's BATMAN with a bit of Lynda Carter WONDER WOMAN thrown in, the show starred Deidre Hall and Judy Strangis as 'Lori' and 'Judy,' two magazine writers who, when trouble strikes, usually in the form of a flamboyantly costumed, wildly overplayed super-villain, become super-heroines Electra-Woman and Dyna-Girl. They battled evil using their 'Electra-comps,' clunky-looking devices worn on their wrists that allowed them to fire various types of low-budget rays and kept them in communication with Frank, the crusty scientific genius who invented the Comps and manned the 'Electra-base' in Lori and Judy's basement.What makes the show interesting and fun, if not exactly good, is the bizarre sense of conviction most of the actors bring to their roles. They all overact wildly, especially Judy Strangis, but seem perfectly attuned to the claustrophobic confines of the bizarre little world they inhabit. Despite looking like it was made in someone's basement, the show did its best to ape the fantastic comic books it copied, sending its heroines through time, into alternate dimensions, etc. Admittedly, it did it all with apparently two sets, a maximum of six actors, and a budget of twenty dollars, but it could be seen as trying to bring back the spirit of the old CAPTAIN VIDEO-type shows. Or not.
boykul Seems to me that from the early 1930s up to the late 1990s, or at least up to mid 1990s, campy stuff was everywhere. Laugh-In, variety shows, Batman, He-Man, Hanna - Barberra cartoons, Alvin & the Chipmunks, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Garfield and Friends, US Acres, Josie & the Pussycats, The 3 Stooges, 2 Stupid Dogs, and that list is not even scratching anywhere near the surface of what made this some of the best decades for television and movies. Recently, people just haven't really shown much of an interest in quite possibly the best style of entertainment: CAMPY STUFF!!! While some of the weird movies and great cartoons made recently have a lot of great camp, I can only think of a few examples. Family Guy, Adult Swim, Robot Chicken, South Park, Late Night with Conan O' Brian, and the Simpsons. A couple of years ago, that show Striperella used to be on TV, but I guess they just decided to stop making new episodes or even to show reruns. (Most people can agree, probably, that anything Pam does {at least in the way of TV} will be ultimate camp because, with exceptions the people who starred in Xena and the stars of the original Batman TV series, Pam is queen of campy!) Anyways, let me just type this one other thing before I completely forget just what I am writing about: Let's help bring back camp!!! Show reruns, not show remakes!! Bring the shows back, not making some new movies from the shows!! (However, TV shows can be made into some good movies occasionally, if people follow the examples and "rules" set in place by TV show movies like The Addams Family (just the first and the second, not the horrendous "Reunion,"); The Brady Bunch Movie; and of course A Very Brady Sequel.) And finally, does anybody know where on the internet I could find a website devoted to this comic book that was kind of a spoof of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. Pretty sure the two characters were Spandex Woman and Lycra Girl. I don't want a website that's just a place where you can buy different comic books. I'd like a website where you can look at the pages of the comic book and where they give a lot of different info is given about the comic book and / or of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl.
Stephen Holloway I saw it a few years ago on TVLand but it wasn't good. The series was created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears and the only person I knew was Norman Alden who was Aquaman's voice at the time. Still, the series stunk. It was about two females who are superheros. Yeah right. Still the one thing that I can say good about it is that it's no longer on the air waves. Anyway, the plot was corny, the costumes were bad, the acting was also corny but they tried. Still, I strongly advise you to watch another Crofft series but no matter what, STAY AWAY FROM THE SERIES. Sadly though the series was the Kroffts worst series along with Ruby and Spears so folks, do yourself an favor stay away from the series at all cost. You probably can see it if you want to but why bother? Final Score: an 1 out of 10.
domino1003 I was a child of the 70's. I was raised on Sesame Street and School House Rock. What I loved about this period was Saturday morning cartoons. Ah, what a time to be young! One of the shows I watched was Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. As a kid, I thought it was cool.Of course, when you're a kid, EVERYTHING is cool. When you get older, everything you THOUGHT was cool is really a load of crap. When I found out that TV Land would show an episode of EW&DG, I got really excited. I canceled my plans and planted myself in front of the tv, ready to be washed in nostalgia. Instead, I spent my time cringing,laughing and screaming "NO MORE" every few seconds. Our heroes wore these devices on their wrists that would give anyone carpal tunnel syndrome, and the guy that helps them looked like he just woke up from a night of heavy drinking.Sure, it's dated (It's the 70's, after all),and an obvious rip-off of Batman (Dyna Girl says everything with "Electa" in it!), but it is a fun time if you need a good laugh.
