4. This was a DEFINITE gaffe by the promotion/copy writing department.

Likely Mattel not the movie. First rule of including a URL in ad copy: visit that URL and see what it leads to, especially if your IP is a common word.

"Wicked Pictures" has been an adult video/toy company long before this movie was ever green-lit (1993) and are a legit brand - they likely did not snap up this website name intentionally nor maliciously hoping to steal clicks from the movie property. They do have an age gate, and (yes, I did check) clicking through currently shows sexy but clothed models. Using Wayback shows back in January there was nudity on the front page of the site, but I'd bet they likely cleaned it up a bit once this started happening.
