Wonder Women is a 1973 American sci-fi action-crime horror exploitation film directed by Robert Vincent O'Neil (Angel (1984)), and produced by and stars Ross Hagen, a gravel-voiced tough guy known for appearing in such schlock as The Sidehackers and The Hellcats. Other notable cast members include Nancy Kwan as the villainess, Vic Diaz (“the Filipino Peter Lorre�) as a zany sidekick, Maria de Aragon (Greedo herself) as a henchwoman scorned, and Sid Haig.In the early seventies, the sinister Dr. Tsu intends to transplant the brain of a dying millionaire into a healthy young body. Naturally the only way to acquire a healthy young body is to kidnap a world-famous jai alai player, and naturally the only people qualified to kidnap a world-famous jai alai player are a half-dozen foxy babes armed with tranquillizer guns. This plan may sound foolproof, but it has one flaw: the world-famous jai alai player just happens to be insured by Lloyd's of London for half a million dollars. Rather than pay the claim, the insurance brokers hire a detective named Mike Harber to search Manila for the missing athlete, and if possible bring him back alive. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Wonder Women / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Dozens of people are gunned down, but the filmmakers never use any squibs or fake blood. It's especially egregious when Mike blasts a woman point blank in the face with a sawed off shotgun, and all you see is her fall down without a drop of blood being spilled, when her head should have exploded like a cantaloupe. | |

Shoot the Shaggy Dog / Hoist by His Own Petard: The film ends with Harber being surrounded by a bunch of vengeful action floozies, one of whom is his Love Interest, who aims his own hand-cannon at him. Presumably he will be killed imminently, but judging by his lustful smile, he apparently thinks it's orgy time. | |

Excuse Me While I Multitask: While having "brain sex" with Harber, Tsu responds to an emergency call nonchalantly. Needless to say, Harber is completely cut off from the world in his Orgasmatron. | |

Pinball Protagonist: Strangely, although Harber is portrayed as a man of action, he actually contributes little to achieving his goal. He wanders around, benefits from dumb luck, gets captured, and profits from a completely fortuitous heel-face turn by one of the villain's henchwomen. Arguably the real protagonist is not Harber at all, but Linda, the redheaded henchwoman. | |
