Encino Woman (also known as California Woman) is a 1996 TV movie directed by Shawn Schepps. It tells the story of a cavewoman who awakes in 1990s Los Angeles and inadvertently becomes both a successful fashion model and a spokesperson for feminism. The film is a sequel to 1992's Encino Man, though none of the original cast reprise their roles. Numerous drag queens make cameos, including Jackie Beat and The Fabulous Wonder Twins.
The film aired only once, on the ABC network in the evening of April 20, 1996. Encino Woman has never been released on home video or streaming services since, though a taped copy of the original broadcast has surfaced on YouTube.
