Bobbie Jo

I am a fan of the drive-in movies American-International Pictures made, so I wanted to see this particular effort, and it took me a long time to track down a copy. However, after watching it, I felt kind of underwhelmed. Some people will probably be confused by this, because the movie certainly makes an effort to deliver the goods. There's sex, there's nudity (including Carter), several car chases and wrecked vehicles, and there are a lot of machine-gunned victims (whoever provided the bloody squibs for this movie probably comfortably retired after this movie.) Despite all of that, I didn't particularly care for this movie. I think the problem I had was that the central characters of the movie are (1) unlikable, doing stuff like gunning down innocent people, and (2) not interesting in their unlikable behavior. Also, the movie takes a LONG time to get going with the main plot, over a half hour. I admit there are probably some people who will like this movie, but don't count me among them.

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!!

Even if just for the classic cars and how truly gorgeous Lynda Carter is!

Actually, this came out before her stint in the Wonder Woman television show. This movie is actually quite entertaining, especially if you enjoy seeing one of the most beautiful women to grace the planet everywhere in four nude scenes. Lynda Carter simply has one of the greatest, most voluptuous bodies that I have ever seen, and that combined with her stunning eyes and smile makes the movie all the more enjoyable. It is about a good girl who gets mixed up with a bad guy. Marjoe doesn't really want to be a troublemaker, but trouble always seems to follow him. Bobbi Jo gets caught up in all of this, and they eventually are forced to run from the law. Very good action from one of the best racks ever.

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.
