Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was shot and released as 'Superwoman' but when Warner Bros. / DC Comics got wind of this, they took the producers to court. There were enough similarities to impose changes on the producers. They had to go back and delete all references to the character's name from the soundtrack, scratch out the "S" logo on her costume and re-title the film. The producers considered 'Ultrawoman' before settling on 'Ms. Magnificent.' DC also wanted the judge to order them to delete the flying sequences. He concluded that flying did not infringe on DC's characters since many other superheroes could also fly. All film prints of the original version and all copies of the original movie poster were recalled (and presumably destroyed) although a few examples of the poster still exist. Posters with the new title and new film prints were distributed and remain the only version in distribution. In recent years it has become known that the original 'Superwoman' version of the film, in addition to theatrical exhibition, also had a very limited VHS / Beta distribution in the early days of home video. A few bootlegs of these tapes have turned up from time to time in collector's circles.

Featured review
Superwoman follows the exploits of a sexy young heroine, played by Cousteau, who takes to the skies to save mankind from the perils of sexual boredom. She battles the evil Kreeta Borgia, a villainess determined to rid the world of sexual encounters.
The story is a straightforward spoof of the superhero genre, with a heavy emphasis on humor and sexuality. While the premise is intriguing, the execution is often clumsy and amateurish, with many of the jokes falling flat.
Cousteau is the undeniable standout of the film. She embodies the titular Superwoman with a captivating blend of charisma, humor, and sensuality. Her performance elevates the film, adding a layer of charm and depth to an otherwise forgettable parody.
The supporting cast, including Jesie St. James and Sharon Kane, deliver mixed performances. Some embrace the campy nature of the film, while others struggle to find the right tone, resulting in an uneven overall performance.
The film's production values are indicative of its low-budget origins. The special effects are notably poor, with a noticeably scratched-out "S" logo on Superwoman's costume, a result of legal issues with DC Comics. While this adds to the film's campy appeal, it also highlights its technical shortcomings.
The set design is equally unremarkable, with the notable exception of a distracting blue shag carpet in the spaceship, which becomes a character in its own right.
Superwoman is a curious artifact of 1970s porn parodies. While it struggles to find its footing, it is redeemed by Cousteau's stellar performance and the film's tongue-in-cheek embrace of its own absurdity.
For fans of campy superhero spoofs and adult entertainment from this era, Superwoman may be worth a watch, but it's unlikely to satisfy those seeking a more polished or sophisticated cinematic experience.
