Trivia

The film was shot and released as "Superwoman", but when Warner Bros/DC Comics got wind of this, they took the producers to court. There were enough similarities for the court to impose "changes" on the producers, so they had to go back and delete all references to the character's name from the soundtrack, scratch out the "S" logo on her costume and re-title the film. The producers considered "Ultrawoman" before settling on "Ms. Magnificent." DC also wanted the judge to order them to delete the flying sequences, but he concluded that flying did not infringe on DC's characters, since many other super-heroes could also fly. All film prints of the original version, and all copies of the original movie poster, were recalled and presumably destroyed, although a few examples of the poster still exist, then new posters (with the new title) and new film prints were distributed and remain the only version in distribution today. In recent years it has become known that the original "Supewoman" version of this film, in addition to theatrical exhibition, also got a very limited VHS/Beta distribution in the early days of home video, and a few bootlegs of these tapes have turned up from time to time in collector's circles.
