As you can see, I didn't write "super heroe movie" because the choice would be even more limited ...
 
I have to go with Elektra. Not a good movie by any means, but still more competent then Catwoman and unlike Supergirl it manages to not have a subplot about two women fighting over a guy (also Elektra has more personality then Supergirl, which is more the writing's fault then the actors). When it comes to movies I'd rather rewatch I'd go with Supergirl because it does have a few decent scenes and it has the benefit from its stupidity being fairly entertaining and several points, but Elektra is techincally a better movie in most categories. Catwoman is just a terribly made, extremely stupid movie (and not the entertaining kind of stupid). I've never seen any of the other movies listed on the poll, so I'm just talking about the ones I've seen.

Also, you left the Vampirella film from 1996 off the poll. I haven't seen it, but it definitely exists.
 
:lol:

I figured, I don't think many people know it exists. I just thought that I would bring it up.
And it has ONE review on Rotten Tomatoes...

ETA: They didn't evet get the costume right!

I've only certain that I've seen Red Sonja, Catwoman, Supergirl and Elektra, so I'd probably go with Elektra. Not sure if I've seen Sheena or if I'm thinking about the tv version.
 
Black Scorpion and Witchblade were both live action TV movies, that earned themselves a TV series.

The gotta count?

Oh.

Brenda Starr, and Little Orphan Annie.

;)

Well..? Your thoughts..?

I'm a sucker for cheesy crap-o-la, I also own the blu-rays of Phantom Of The Paradise & the Robert Englund version of Phantom Of The Opera, plus I never read the Vampirella comics.

I saw Vampirella on some cable channel or other & liked it enough to buy the DVD.

The movie seems older than 1996. More like 1986.
 
Vampirella definitely looks like the badly made, low budget cheesefest that I'm sure it is. I've been meaning to get to it, since I'm trying to watch as many comic book hero/anti-hero movies as I can (and I'd say she just counts as a supernatural hero instead of just being a comic character like, say, Tank Girl, since in the few Vampirella comics I've read she does fight bad guys so I'd put her in the "super" category). I've also been meaning to get to that Electra Woman and Dyna Girl movie, although I don't know when I've sit down to watch either. There are so many schlocky superhero movies I still need to see.
