Summary: great escapist fare
Review: Black Scorpion always makes me smile. It's a fun movie with a great leading lady and a good sense of fun. I've watched this on more than one rainy Sunday afternoon. A black leather clad superheroine battles the Darth Vader like Breathetaker who wants to make the entire city asthmatic. Silly and sexy cult entertainment.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ms Scorpion gets her prey!
Review: Excellent futuristic comic book thriller, in the Batman theme. She gets her man; the sexy Bruce Abbott and saves the city! Joan Severance is great as the woman with the secret identity. Would make a interesting TV series only if original cast returns.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Friend of Joan Severance
Review: Goodday. Black Scorpion has been on Swedish TV for atleast two times. I instructed Joan Severance to make the movie when she still had the manuscript on her desk. Then she lived neighbour to me for five years from 1995-1999. I know she doesn't want to be a p-star but she was dragged to the scene when she was 23 years old in a plastic bag and raped. She started her career as a photographer but was fooled and raped. Please Joan Severance contact me. I don't know if she has been trustee of my fund "Your Contract with Laura Bush" which is a betting fund that always win. I know Joan Severance was no friend of Lady Diana even if Joan Severance was quite pleasant when she and Lady Diana and Prince Charles met at my appartment in 1996 I think it was.

Yours Sincerely

P.S. You are allowed to shorten the resumee down because you may not want to print everything I write.

Summary: The Black Scorpion
Review: Having never seen the tv-series, this movie makes me wish I could. Cool-looking superheroine who looks like a model for products out of a bondage magazine combined with a clunky-looking, yet high-tech, morphing car makes for fun superheroine adventure. There is some nudity, though from the editing I suspect a double was used for Severance, and even a ...scene perpetrated by the frustrated heroine! (naughty, naughty, Black Scorpion) Don't expect too much in terms of a believable plot, especially the mechanics of her and the car's transformation into a crimefighting duo. Severance's performance and visual appeal in heroine regalia is pleasing enough; but as for her daytime role of a police officer, not only does she come up flat, it's hard to forgive that the 35-ish actress/model is trying to play a character 10 years her junior. Overall, superheroine lovers should still be relatively satisfied. Beware: the DVD claims it includes a feature commentary but I could not find it.

Summary: Super Heroine To The Rescue!
Review: I tell ya, I'm a sucker for a descent superhero movie. (I'm not counting super bug budget, no storyline Batman's either)

A couple of my favorites are The Phantom and a budget movie called The Demolitionist. The Black Scorpion can be added to that collection.

If you've seen the Demolitionist then get this movie. It's basically a copy of that heroine. (It even stars the same guy in both movies)

If you haven't, then let me explain...a cop's father is murdered and she seeks vengence. She laces up the black outfit (a sexy catwomanish, skimpy outfit that looks absolutely great on Joan Severance) and goes out to kick some booty.

It's a fun, action packed movie, mind you, you may not wish the kids to see it...without screening it first to see if you approve of the pretty graphice sex scene Severance has in it. Which in my opinion, was a bonus (alright, give it an extra star )

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the one that started it all
Review: If you are a fan of the Black Scorpion you need to have this one in your collection of DVDs. This is especally true if you are planning to get the box set of the TV series (which is well worth getting) since this is the origin tale of the Black Scorpion. No fan should be without this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Scorpion Rides the Frog
Review: If you have a liking for B genre movies with action, a female heroine, a quasi story-line, and some nudity, then I would recommend this movie to you. The movie starts in the real world then does a rather quick shift to a sci-fi futuristic world. In a scene set in 1975, a cop-father tells his daughter, who later becomes the Scorpion, a story about a scorpion riding on a frog across a stream. Joan Severance's acting is a little weak in the beginning of the movie but improves as she dons a costume and becomes the Black Scorpion. One of the highlights is when a disrobed Joan rides her cop-partner to ecstasy, masked as the Scorpion. Hence the Scorpion takes the frog for a ride.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Black Scorpion Can Sting Me Any Time!
Review: If you love B-movies, comic books, or women dressed in bondage gear who fight crime this is your lucky day!You'll love this one! This is the perfect flick when you're looking for escapist fun as super heroine Black Scorpion battles the evil Breathtaker and his army of asthmatics the wheezing warriors! It's a blast! Joan Severance is fantastic, seductive and beautiful and her commentary and interview segment on this DVD are a delight. She is so cute and seems like she really had a blast making this movie. If you enjoy this one check out the sequel and the tv show. This is fun stuff!
