Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw

Lynda was an awesome physical specimen in her prime, as this movie captures. Good action flick, good nudity, good 1970s drive-in movie. Lynda is not back in emoting, certainly not as wooden as she was in the first Wonder Woman episodes. Marjoe Goertner is adequate, how he starred in Earthquake latter on is beyond me. And Lynda's sidekick girlfriend is CUTE. It's got the 1970s look from the film stock they used, which is cool. Its sad how gravity has taken a toll on Lynda's awesome physique. Pop in this DVD, watch her undress and it's 1976 all over again. And that's a good thing, as far as Lynda's bod is concerned.

This movie was endlessly played on cable in the early days of CINEMAX, along with some rather distastefully misogynistic gore-fests. CINEMAX cornered the market on flicks where women got burned with cigars and urinated on (very graphically). But I digress. The producers apparently could only convince Ms. Carter to bare her impressive chest but once. So- they edited in the exact same scene TWICE! Once in the first half, and again in the second half of the movie! Double your pleasure indeed. More like quadruple. But I must say that almost 30 years later I remember them vividly, and they were spectacular.

Does a good job of showing why the Marjoe phenomenon was so brief and the Lynda Carter craze more ample.

I watched this movie back in the days of disks (not DVDs) where we rented the player and the movie together most times. This was supposed to be a more contemporary run at "Bonnie and Clyde" but failed to have the plot or personnel essential to carry it off. Two big, big reasons to see this film and file it for history--and Lynda's got both of them. Yeow!!

We were getting a preview of HBO in the late 1970's. "Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw" was one of the featured movies. I liked the movie so well, we subscribed to HBO. Although the acting of others may have been in doubt, Lynda's smile and blue eyes stole the show.
