‘Sting Of The Black Scorpion’
(Michelle Lintel, Scott Valentine / DVD / R / (1995) 2003 / New Concorde)
Overview: Cop by day, masked crusader by night, the fearless and sultry Black Scorpion must protect the City of Angels from a deadly trio of villains … the prosthetic machine gun Firearm, the time-controlling Clockwise and the vision-stealing Flashpoint.
DVD Verdict: Having never seen the TV series, this movie makes me wish I could. Cool-looking super heroine 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 super heroine adventure! But, be aware that there is some nudity, though from the editing I suspect a double was used for Severance! Don't expect too much in terms of a believable plot, especially the mechanics of her and the car's transformation into a crime fighting 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, super heroine lovers should still be relatively satisfied. This is a Full Screen Presentation and comes with the Special Features of:
