Supergirl sans shoes

Everybody knows of the Supergirl series that's currently running on the CW network (along with a host of other superhero series, based on the DC universe), but, Supergirl first made her live-action debut back in 1984 with this movie.

In this version, Supergirl (played here by Helen Slater) lives in Argo City, where everybody--including her--goes barefoot.

I first saw Supergirl in the theaters way back when, and remember being pleasantly surprised to see an entire society like this sans shoes. This sequence lasts for about the first ten minutes.

Of course, when Supergirl starts messing with the high tech magic wand that belongs to Peter O'Toole, all hell breaks loose.

This is what makes her leave Argo city; Supergirl has to retrieve the thingamaging that got sucked out the window while she was fooling around with it.

Once she arrives on Earth, she meets Matt Frewer, who tries to assault Supergirl, only to find out--the hard way--that she's not having any of it. This makes Matt reassess his life and he comes back as a stuttering animated robot called Max Headroom. Bet you didn't know that, huh? That's what I'm here for, my friend. I am a dispenser of weird, arcane knowledge.
