NATIONAL LAMPOONS ATTACK OF THE 5 FT. 2 WOMAN

Comedian Julie Brown stars in the dual roles of notorious figure skater Tonya Hardly and infamous spouse-abuser Lenora Babbitt in this hilarious spoof of two of the most outrageous media events of the decade.

Tonya: The Battle of Wounded Knee is the story of Tonya Hardly, the figure skater with an ego as big as her behind. Surrounded by a hapless cast of characters, including her mother, Lawanda (Stella Stevens), her pitiful ex-husband Jeff Googooly (John Hoffman) and bodyguard-as-James-Bond-wannabe Sean Heckardt (Eric Edwards). Hardly is determined to destroy the career of her main competition, too-cute Nancy Cardigan (Khrystyne Haje). The Hardly contingent concocts a plot to disable the rival Cardigan during a critical moment in the Olympic trials. Unfortunately for Hardly, the two bumbling hitmen hired by Heckardt only manage to inflict a bruise on Cardigan. While poor Nancy recovers in bed surrounded by stuffed animals, the police track down and arrest Heckardt. He immediately fingers Googooly who in turn, ‘rats out’ Tonya. Although the Olympic Committee allows Hardly to skate at Lillehammer in spite of her crime, it’s to no avail: her dream of beating Cardigan is dashed when she slips on a Jujubee.

The Lenora Babbitt Story begins with a comical flashback to the fateful night when Lenora Babbitt (Julie Brown) decides to cut short her husband Juan Wayne’s (Adam Storke) philandering. Lenora’s revengeful act made the couple legendary, and the duo agree to appear on a reality-based cop series to reenact the details of the incident. But moments before the dramatisation, Lenora discovers that Juan has been cheating again. So, as the cameras roll, she decides that she will do more than simulate the original episode which will become her husband’s worst nightmare…again.
