Batwoman in Mexico

 

 (imdb)

THE BATWOMAN-1968-In Acapulco, Robles (Hector Godoy), a FBI agent and the local police enlisted the aid of superhero crime fighting lady wrestler The Batwoman (Maura Monti) to help solve a series of killings, all against pro wrestlers and all having pineal fluid taken from the bodies. Batwoman's crime fighting outfit consists of boots, a bikini and cape and cowl that look like a Halloween costume. The killings are all the work of mad scientist Dr. Williams (Roberto Canedo) and his abused assistant Igor (Carlos Suarez) who are trying to create a man-fish. After infiltrating Williams' boat The Reptillicus, Batwoman's caught but escapes after beating up some henchmen. She uses a lot of chops. The gang pursues her. They recapture her but she chops her way out. Later Williams gets a creature to grow man-size and plans on making a fish-woman. Now named Pisces, the creature goes after Batwoman while she's doing some underwater exploring. She is again pursued but an underwater flare and gasoline show that fire is the creature's weakness. Later while Batwoman is wrestling, Williams has a tracking device placed on her cape but she turns the tables on the mad doctor and saves the day. Funny final scene. 

This Mexican production was directed by Rene Cardona (NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES (1969) and produced and written by Alfredo Salazar. Star Monti (from Italy) made her last film appearance in one of Boris Karloff's Mexican films (ALIEN TERROR aka INCREDIBLE INVASION) in 1971.
