    • Goofs
      On the audio track, Xaviera says, "Call Jake at the lab and make sure we'll have the film by six", but you can see her mouth the words "by four". A few seconds later, Maxine says "six o'clock" twice, but you can see she said "four o'clock" both times.

    See Batman naked!
    How do you give a logical review to such a silly movie? The "funny" part is that it actually tries to be serious at times. Though the Happy Hooker is pleasant to look at (since she's nude most of the time)the rest is a BORE. Poor Adam West, (TV's Batman) proves once again he can't get a good part. Leap'n Lizards Batman!
