Pretty much sums up Bobbi Jo and the Outlaw, a 1976 offering from those masters of cinematic excellence at American International. It's both sad and understandable that the studio that put out Roger Corman schlock and Beach Blanket rock in the sixties would turn to blood-soaked, bare-breasted, hallucinogenic-mushroomed redneckery in the seventies. You've got to see this thing to believe it. Marjoe Gortner makes Steven Seagal look like a true thespian, Linda Carter defies gravity, and the only person I even remotely cared about was Belinda Balaski, a minor character whose claim to fame here, strangely enough, is her appeal to those of us who find real-looking woman attractive. Marjoe, Linda, some Navajo guru, and Balaski soak in a pond, spouting stoned profundities, and Balaski is sitting there grooving to the hippie-dippiness, with nipples looking like toggle-switches in the on position, sexy as hell. But, a 100 pound naked woman--who looks like a real woman and not a make-up-smeared future TV superhero--cannot make a movie work. So, be warned that Bobbi Jo and the Outlaw is the equivalent of the garbage at the bottom of the trash barrel that you parked too near at the drive-in. Pheee-ew!

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 * 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.

When Home Box Office was in it's early days movies like this one & Outlaw Blues were among the films used to try to draw viewers. The main draw to this one was to see Linda Carter (Wonder Woman) out of that curve hugging outfit with her chest free to grace the screen. She certainly does that here. This is one of the films on HBO then which made me think that the "B" Hollywood films were alive & well in the 1970's. It was amazing how successful they were promoting this one. This film wets the whistle for seeing Ms. Carter do an X rated feature though I don't think she ever did one. Put your brain away and enjoy the natural assets on display here, don't take the plot too seriously of you will lose your perspective.

When I found out this movie was on fancast.com and knowing about it's reputation of having Ms. Lynda Carter topless, I had to watch this right away. While we do see her having sex with Marjoe Gortner twice and in a skinny dipping scene and she does undress in front of her mother, not once does she display both in front on screen at the same time in all its glory. Needless to say, I was very disappointed! And the story itself, about outlaws on the run with Lynda willingly going along for the ride, is pretty exciting in a trashy kind of way for a while but then gets too repetitiously redundant by the end. In other words, I don't regret watching this, but I don't think I want to see this again. Oh, and that was a nice song Ms. Carter sang.

Mark Lester's IMDB list is filled with drive-in and VHS era gold. There's Steel Arena, Truck Stop Women, Roller Boogie (with Linda Blair, of course), Class of 1984 and it's kinda/sorta spiritual sequel Class of 1999, Firestarter, Commando and Showdown in Little Tokyo. This American Internation Pictures release was written by Vernon Zimmerman, who has gifted us with just as many demented films as Lester. You can thank him for Teen Witch - Top That! - as well as Fade to Black and Unholy Rollers. Together, these two titans of, well, movies that only I love joined up to make a modern Bonnie and Clyde redneck film starring former child minister Marjoe Gortner and future Wonder Woman Lynda Carter. Young country singer and dreamer Bobbie Jo Baker (Carter) runs away from her job as a carhop to ride around in a Ford Mustang with Lyle Wheeler (Gortner), who fancies himself the modern-day Billy the Kid. Gortner was the second choice for the lead after Sylvester Stallone backed out, which would have made the Lyle role seem much more menacing. Belinda Balaski, who is in nearly every Joe Dante movie, shows up, as does Peggy Stewart (she's an actress from the cowboy era who was also in the redneck film Black Oak Conspiracy) and Gerrit Graham, who was Beef in Phantom of the Paradise and also made appearances in TerrorVision and Chopping Mall. You should watch this movie to see Marjoe do mushrooms, but for many, there's a major other reason to see this movie, called out on the poster. If only they had spelled Lynda Carter's name correctly...

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.

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

This is where Lynda Carter got her start. Prior of becoming the Amazing Amazon(Wonder Woman), she plays Bobbie Jo Baker in "Bobbie Jo and The Outlaw". In this film, she starts off as a choosy woman who wants to get away from the small town of life, and explore more than what she sees. At the car hop, she meets a man who rides a stolen muscle car, and is quick with a hand gun. His name is Lyle(Marjoe Gortner), a rebel in the making. His love for the Old West makes Bobbie Jo very interested in him. But along the way, he and his friend started to do some things that sort of cross the line. For starters, killing the security guard at a truck shop was Lyle's first worry. When Effie tagged along with Bobbie Jo and Lyle, she wanted to make sure that Lyle and friends are in one piece. Unfortunately, she ended up being the casualty. This movie is like a skin flick. But not quite a * flick. Since Lynda Carter did Playboy, I can say no more. She's hot all the way. The sex appeal in this film was not lost. Back in that year, I was too young to see this film. Now that I have seen it, I can say is that it is great. Now the shooting is tame. Not too violent. But it is very watchable. I enjoyed it very well. 5 stars
