Outstanding find Markiehoe!

As an aside, for fans of Invasion Of The Star Creatures, the entire uncut movie can be purchased from Amazon for download and it's in great quality too!

How about the Batlady from Artists and Models 1955





Shirley Mclane just might be the very first Superheroine in costume portrayed on film

In the recent Shattered Grid arc of the Power Rangers comics we got a few fighting scenes featuring all-girls teams from various eras of the franchise.

Wait. Was she ever my crossing guard? No.? (It DOES remind  me of the kind of film we used to watch in school circa 1978.)

What's funny is that, looking back over my earliest entries from a few years ago, many of the 'obscure' tv shows I listed then, I now have complete runs of...



好き! すき!! 魔女先生 (aka We Love You! We Love You!! Witch Teacher)
魔法少女ちゅうかなぱいぱい! (aka Magical Chinese Girl Pai Pai!)
魔法少女ちゅうかないぱねま! (aka Magical Chinese Girl Ipanema!)
美少女仮面ポワトリン (aka The Masked Belle Poitrine / La Belle Fille Masquée Poitrine)
不思議少女ナイルなトトメス  (aka Mysterious Nile Girl Thutmose)
うたう!大龍宮城 (aka Sing! Great Ryugujo)
有言実行三姉妹シュシュトリアン (aka Yugen Jikkou Sisters Shushutorian)
美少女戦麗舞(セレブ)パンシャーヌ~奥様はスーパーヒロイン! (aka Socialite Belle Panchanne: The Wife Is a Superheroine!)

Here's my hit list of shows and movies that are (for now) frustratingly out of reach. Most of them are from the Philippines., Feel free to share your own:
  • Darna (2005) -- the Angel Locsin tv version of the popular Filipino superheroine has only been available in fragmented form outside of its country of origin. Available episodes are largely thanks to the efforts of one superheroine fan, Fonzie (aka mercblue22), who arranged for a handful of the episodes to be shipped over to the US. Sadly the optical discs his episodes were on warped, so many are now distorted. It is known that some Filipino fans have complete runs of the series (all 170 episodes) on old VHS cassettes, a format that deteriorates over time, but given the state of television technology in the region it is unlikely that they'll be digitised any time soon. Our best hope is that the GMA network is able (rights, etc.) and willing to upload the series to its new YouTube box-set service, perhaps when the new Darna movie is released.
  • Wander Woman Si Ako -- Maria Teresa Carlson plays a spoof version of Wonder Woman (complete with costume), in a 1980 movie that was almost certainly inspired by the Lynda Carter series.
  • Komiks Presents: Varga -- this 13 episode series, made in 2008, starred Mariel Rodriguez as a princess from a doomed planet, whose spirit lands on Earth and merges with an Earth girl to become a superheroine. Although her origin resembles the Binder and PAD Supergirls rolled into one, Varga was actually created by the same man behind Darna (Mars Ravelo) in 1947.
  • Babaing Kidlat -- 1975 Filipino superheroine movie, translates as "Lighting Girl".
  • Fantastika vs Wonderwoman -- rare pinoy superheroine 1976 movie.
  • Otasuke Girl -- Japanese 2003 series, 6 episodes in total, about three college girls who investigate crime, one of whom (of course!) is secretly a superheroine, who appears whenever they get into trouble.
  • Super Klenk -- 1999 Filipino comedy tv show, 13 episodes in total. about a mild mannered school teacher who is also a superheroine. Famously there's so little information about this show online that it has become the stuff of legend.
What about you? Which movies or tv shows are you most annoyed at not having in your collection?

Super Klenk is truly the "white whale" of the genre.....a shame, especially seeing that Ara Mina was the star! :)

PMS COP

This one isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. Nope.
After becoming super-powerful, PMS COP deals with people who displease her in ways that the ACLU would never approve of.

I think she's just dreamy!

On a similar note British comic Karen Taylor had a recurring superhero spoof character on her sketch show: Penelope Chambers, secretly PMS Girl.

(TL;DR: there's some video clip links at the end that hopefully will be worth a few thank yous...)

Time to give an annual update on the hunt for obscure superheroine shows and movies. :)

My friends, on the whole it has been a positive year, and the immediate future looks bright. In the last 18 months many superheroine shows previously thought unobtainable have started to surface thanks to content owners in places such as Indonesia and The Philippines starting to put entire runs of old series online. We can but hope that this continues -- who knows, one day we may be able to glimpse a few moments of that most mythical of beasts, Super Klenk (a show I know some of you have suggested is mere fable and folklore.)

In Japan, TOEI has continued putting up episodes of its 'comedy heroines' superheroine shows onto YouTube. Currently it has episodes of うたう!大龍宮城 (Utau! Dai Ryugujo) up, which admittedly is the weakest of the 'comedy heroines' shows from a superhero perspective, but worth seeing merely for completeness. Next year expect 有言実行三姉妹シュシュトリアン (Yugen Jikkou Sisters Chouchoutrian) to become available. (You'll need a VPN or proxy located in Japan to see them.)

Sadly I found out too late that the entire run of the Filipino show Krystala appears to have been put up onto Jeepney TV's streaming service. It has subsequently been taken down, but hopefully the channel will reshow it, giving us a chance to see more episodes.

In Indonesia Indosiar and MVP have been putting up entire runs of old shows. Indosiar has recently been adding all 150+ episodes of its ultra-low budget early 90s kids superheroine show, Saras 008, to vidio.com. Meanwhile MVP has put up both seasons of Panji Manusia Millenium onto its MVP Hits channel on YouTube. Previously I was unaware that a second season existed, and thought that the show ended abruptly on a cliffhanger. When I began to watch the second season I discovered all my hopes had come true: the mysterious superheroine sidekick Putri Rubi is a regular character and appears in almost every episode (she joined in episode 60 of season one, if you want to track down her appearances, although she spends the first few episodes in her glamorous secret identity only.)

Putri Rubi is basically a bit like Batman, except in red and with high heels, Sometimes the show uses her for laughs, sometimes (later in the run) she gets involved in the fighting and demonstrates a wider range of abilities. By the end of S2 she's reasonably formidable. Here's a few clips:

(1)  Abducted  (1x77)
(2)  Street fight  (2x07)
(3)  Vs. a super villain  (2x10)

Looking to the future, we can only hope that the trend of non-English broadcasters putting up old shows online continues. The Philippines particularly has several superheroine soap operas that ran for dozens or hundreds of episodes (Darna 2005, Darns 2009, Varga, Krystala, etc...) Often all we have of them is poor VHS quality clips or odd episodes, so the prospect of seeing them in reasonable quality is welcomed.

Keep a look out..!!! If you see a show get put up online, post a message on this thread. Even if a show is restricted inside a particular streaming service, or locked to only a particular country domain, there are sometimes ways of getting access so that clips can be enjoyed by a wider audience.

EDIT: Putri Rubi apparently translates as Ruby Princess. So now we know. :)

I think one of the problems here is that collectors don't inform each other of what they've got. These shows are copyrighted materials, so I don't recommend dumping stuff up publicly. At the same time, they are often damn near impossible to get through legitimate means, even in their countries of origin. As such I've occasionally traded material via private file upload sites (like Mega) with specific individuals to help other enthusiasts fill in their collections, and (in return) to help fill in gaps in my own. I trade intelligence on shows too, so fellow collectors become aware of what's out there. But this only works if collectors know who has what, and who is is looking for what. (A nice bonus is if your hard disk goes kapput, you know other people who can send you back your own files. But: always back up your hard disks -- the price of good quality 2Tb USB drive these days is trivial.)

I spent a lot of years working in the rotating media (aka hard disk drive) business, and today, I don't own a single one of them. And never will again.

On any given month for any given product, every disk drive company turns out shit, and the high-capacity, low cost stuff sold to consumers are the absolute bottom of the barrel. OEM's get the best stuff.

SSD might be more expensive, but with high likelihood, you'll always get your data back. With rotating media, it's a given that they will ALL fail, Just a matter of time. 

BTW... they follow the bathtub curve for reliability. High failure rate when they are new (under a year) and high failure rate when they are old (varies on usage, but usually after 3 or 4 years).  Not as bad in the middle (floor of the bathtub).

But why would anyone put something you really want on a device that will likely loose it? Archiving data for long-term storage on rotating media is the nuttiest thing of all. You have to keep multiple copies on different drives, preferably three different physical units. That's crazy when you think about it. 

An interesting thought... in the distant future, when archeologists want to study the past and discover how we lived and what we thought, they are going to find that our entire culture has erased itself. No ancient scrolls or stone tablets. Only our impossible-to-decompose plastic garbage will remain. I wonder what they will conclude about us?

I'm actually looking for the Krystala series, too.  I don't want every single episode (not right away, anyway), but I'd like to see a couple of full episodes to see what its like.  Same goes for that Super Juffie movie.

On Krystala, does anyone have any thoughts on this site?

watchfullmovie.xyz/tv/4578

They're claiming to have Krystala episodes, but I don't trust them wanting a credit card (I get that they don't trust me, but they seem to be saying I should trust them with that info) or that they list it as having 0 episodes.

So is this a viable site or a dead end?  Any thoughts?
