Thanks to a helpful comment I got this scene recommended 🙂
Really weird, I actually saw most of the seasons of this TV show including the one with this scene, but somehow I totally forgot about it, I guess I didn’t make notes back then like I do nowadays.
So, what do we have here? We have Oliver Queen getting attacked by a masked female ninja!
And no, I’m not talking about the Arrow TV show…
Preview:
Just a normal day for him… relaxing… getting attacked….
…by a sneaky female ninja
Who is under that mask?

And here is the video:
–
Yeah, sadly a rather short scene with an even shorter fight, and we don’t get a good look at the masked ninja….
…. BUT we get a masked female ninja that actually gets unmasked by someone else! And she isn’t unconscious or tied up! 🙂
That is rather rare and my favorite version of an unmasking. Ok, she could have struggled longer and put up more of a fight, but after all, she actually knows him and didn’t want to really hurt him.
The reveal is done well as we fully see how he unmasks her, the camera doesn’t cut away.
There is a tiny continuation error as he has her pinpointed down. First, the (weirdly red) tip of her nose is showing, but a second later the fabric is covering it up… quite a magic mask she has 😉
I’m quite jealous of him in this scene. I wouldn’t mind swapping places with him…
One day I will have to re-watch the Smallville show from beginning to end, even though I’m already buried under a pile of movies and TV shows that I need to watch or re-watch.
A good disguise and quite a dramatic turn of events.
I think she overreacted big time, I mean her partner was beaten with a bat, ok, but that’s no reason to shoot someone.
And if she shoots it doesn’t need to be a deadly shot.
Ok, it was pretty dark… but that boy with his bright shirt was still visible well enough…
All in all a solid scene.
Later in the movie, we have terrorists in gas masks. There is also one female terrorist, but she is infiltrating the event as a waitress and the only terrorist that doesn’t wear a gas mask at any time.
After last week’s episode was my least favorite one of the season, episode 9 was MUCH more interesting!
Finally, we have a pretty long scene with Wildcat and Dr. Mid-Nite.
And also with good action in it!

Not exactly the hottest match as Wildcat was fighting against “Grandma Freeze” as I call her, but with some nice perilous moments included.
Ironically Stargirl is again missing from her own show as “only” Courtney is in that house as the action unfolds.
I am very curious to see how the show is going on forward after this episode, there are 4 episodes left and it’s time that we can see the plan of the bad guy.
And what will happen to Snakegirl aka Cindy?
Also, Rick is out of control right now, and that has to be fixed.
It was nice that Dr. Mid-Nite finally had her first real fight after she discovered the combat mode of her goggles.
The end of this season will also be the end of the show as it was revealed that there won’t be a season 4.
During season 1 this news would have been very sad, but by now it doesn’t have much of an impact on me.
I hope that shows with a masked female lead will be done in the future on another network (and studio).
The Arrowverse is on a decline for a while now and will end with the last season of the Flash.
So I hope for more masked ladies on TV and in the movies in the future 😉
I am pretty low on material to post…. but I haven’t posted about these scenes from a rather old animated movie!
In this one, a mysterious villain in full disguise keeps finishing off bad guys…. and actually, it’s more like a villainESS 😉
Soon Batman and the Joker get involved….
Preview:
There she is…
Batman wants to stop her!
Time to face the Joker!

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!
Yeah, I know… not the greatest reveal, especially since the Joker already knows who she is.
But when you watch the whole movie without already knowing who is under the mask… it’s a nice reveal since she perfectly hides who she is.
And her costume and the voice changer also cloak the fact that she is a woman. Plus the costume is rather unusual….
I have seen the cover of this movie several times but I never knew that it was about a female villain.
I do like her backstory, that she takes revenge and finishes off these bad guys. Basically, she isn’t really a villainess, more like a murderous vigilante.
Really a shame that the police showed up as Batman (seemingly) got the upper hand and might have unmasked her…. or at least tried that.
It has a masked killer in it… and as the scene is here on the blog… you know what that means 😉

And here is the vide:

If you have seen the movie you already
Spoiler title
knew who would be under the mask at this point as she was revealed to be a killer some scenes before (without costume)
That basically kills even the small thrill such a self unmasking brings. If you haven’t seen the movie you have at least a hasty reveal by watching the video.
The Scream movies have by now 2 masked female killers.
That could be very interesting in terms of masked women and secret identities but there are 2 major problems for me.
– The costume of Ghostface is completely unisex as you can’t see if there is a man or a woman in it.
– And the killer self unmasks in basically every reveal which is… lame!
It would be really great if the costume would have some sex appeal at least and someone would actually try to unmask the killer in a struggle.
Would be really great to have a masked female killer struggling to keep her secret identity a….secret.
Then you could have a dramatic unmasking/reveal in the end when the killer gets unmasked by someone else!
But sadly…. this happens so rarely. 🙁
Well, maybe next time, seems like the Scream franchise will go on for a while…
Finally, we have a decent fight scene with Wildcat and Cindy in this one!
Well, to be more precise….more like Wildcat VS Cindy in this one 🙂
Quite odd how seemingly no one calls the cops in this town, no matter what happens in the neighborhood 😆
Again all the vigilante VS villain action happens without any civilians noticing it.
But ok, that’s just an odd habit of this show.
What is important is that Wildcat had a nice screen time and a good fight scene!

The mysterious big villain still is in the shadows and you can only guess what he/she is up to.
It’s time for some action with him/her! I hope the villain will show up really soon so the heroes can battle him/her.
But back to the fight scene in this one. I really enjoyed the fight between Wildcat and Cindy.
A was rooting for Cindy a little bit as I was hoping she would unmask Wildcat… or at least try to unmask her.
Yes, she knows who Wildcat is… but it would show her dominance, and more importantly, it would leave Yolanda rather helpless since the Wildcat mask gives her her power.
Hopefully, some villain will go for it in the future 😉
7 more episodes to go this season, hopefully, the season will now move on with more action.
We have a masked woman and two guys who break into a school.
What are they up to? Will they get caught and unmasked?

Here she is…
…
….BUSTED!

And here is the video:
–
I uploaded this video on the Youtube channel, but it is unlisted there, so you won’t find it there by searching or browsing my Youtube channel.
Why? Well, the whole (short) movie was uploaded to Youtube by the guy who made it and this is basically just a part of it with one edit.
So, I think my video shouldn’t be on (public) Youtube and that’s why it is unlisted.
I will put a link to the whole movie in this post as well, so it should be ok to post a short part of it.
–
She looks really good in that mask, a shame that she unmasks herself, even if it is done in a good way without cuts.
In my version, the guys would have given up easily and she would have battled the two cops who then would have unmasked her after some serious struggle.
But ok, this movie is made for kids…. so that wasn’t an option 😉
In the end, it’s a nice reveal of a stunning young woman, so I think it’s a solid scene all things considered.
In the last weeks, I posted about the new Irma Vep TV show and the movie from 1996.
But Irma Vep actually first appeared in a movie serial in ….1915! Yes……1915!
Yes, that means black and white + no sound…just some added music.
I’m certainly a total beginner when it comes to movies THAT old but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this movie serial may include the first unmasking of a woman in a movie!
After all, this was just about 20 years after the first movie was made and they didn’t make that many movies back then in the early days of cinema.
I didn’t upload this on Youtube as the Youtube police might have some issues with it. After all her costume is very stretchy and you can see through it sometimes.
It’s not hard to see that she isn’t wearing a bra underneath it so her nipples show in some shots. That’s why I slightly censored the pictures of her as well. I don’t know exactly how far I can go on this blog.
But don’t worry, the video isn’t censored 😉
Back then there was a big discussion about her costume as the movie serial was released, remember it was 1915 and that costume did move a lot of eyebrows (and other parts) back then.
Even today this costume would be troublesome (for some), especially in color and HD 😉
I think the mask combo is interesting with a cowl that is attached to the suit and an additional fabric that covers the face.
The mask of the new TV show is similar but there only the lower part of her face is covered by an additional piece of fabric.
With this mask, Irma is rather easy to unmask, as one quick pull is enough to expose her face (except the cowl part).
I like how he is immediately going for her mask to see the face of the masked thief he just caught. I don’t get why she didn’t resist him as he reaches for her mask, that’s a little minus point for me.
However, it is such a great fantasy to catch such a masked thief…. I wouldn’t mind being in his skin 😉
I guess I need a mansion and some valuables to attract thieves like her 😆
I added the scene with her replacement to the video as it is never wrong to have another masked woman in it, especially as the “masking” is in the video. (is that even a word?)
All in all a very interesting scene, even though it is in black and white and there is no sound (except music).
Yeah, I couldn’t help myself regarding the title of this post 😉
Basically, you could re-read most of the parts I wrote last week.
Stargirl, Wildcat, and Co don’t appear in this episode either. 🙁
Yeah, the “who is the murder” hunt is enjoyable, but again…I would like to see the title heroine in some action scenes.
The big action scene of the episode with (former) Starman VS Paula and Lawrence was really good as they fight their way through a grocery store.
Will be interesting if that will have any consequences, after all the fight was in public (at least until everyone else fled) and in such a store you might have some cameras.
Also, they continued the fight in the parking lot, there must be witnesses or footage of it.
But I guess it will have no consequences…. and the public gets a weird explanation of what happened there.
Looking forward to know more about what Cindy is up to. Clearly, she has some sinister plan after all and was setting up Sylvester in this one.
I hope the big evil mastermind is soon to be revealed.
And Stargirl should finally get a decent screen time in the next one.
Time for another scene from the same movie which I posted about last week!
In this scene, the masked cat burglar in latex gets unmasked 🙂

She sneaks around and…
…gets caught!
He has special plans…

And here is the video:

In my opinion, the scene is very interesting but there are a lot of negative aspects for me.
It is shot in black and white (which is unsexy) and the scene has no audio as it is only a presentation for the movie makers who wanna check out what they have filmed earlier in the day.
As you can see in the ending the director isn’t happy about it at all and is arguing with the camera guy.
Sadly it’s not shown as they are actually filming it. 🙁
And I still don’t get why Irma Vep isn’t resisting as he unmasks her. (as in the original from 1916)
In the new TV show, the scene is done differently, and that is my favorite version:
In this one, the acting is quite…. off… a little bit.
On the plus side, it has a sexy cat burglar in latex(!) with a full face mask! Certainly, a fantastic outfit to create some great scenes with it…. which they are barely doing.
Imagine a cat burglar in that outfit and mask on a heist, getting caught by security guards… and then battling against them as they try to pin her down and unmask her 😉
Well, let’s start with a picture that illustrates all the Stargirl scenes (or other masked women) in this episode:
–
Yeah, that was all the Stargirl action in this episode 😉
In other words, there are no appearances of the JSA in this one besides some mini flashbacks from episode 1.
Quite frustrating for me. Especially since the first episode already had only just about 2-3 minutes to offer.
The story is interesting as I like the murder mystery they have here.
Obviously, this is only the beginning and there is a large big bad at work here that hasn’t shown himself/herself so far.
The original Starman (with his anger management issues…among other stuff) is rather annoying for me, and I hope he will rather leave the season sooner than later.
In a way, this episode had some secret identity aspects.
I mean it’s already really odd that Cindy runs around in her Shiv uniform without a mask, seemingly hoping that no one ever sees her in the costume and would ask some questions.
Courtney was training with Starman and the staff at a water tower. Well, it seemed like a rather remote place… but she was flying around with the staff in broad daylight and started some magic fireworks as she tested her powers.
Wouldn’t that attract someone’s attention? And later on, she was running around with that large glowing(!) staff in the neighborhood (still in broad daylight).
I mean the chances are just HUGE that some folks are seeing her and might wonder why that girl is carrying such a strange staff that is glowing for most of the time 😉
I mean Bruce Wayne isn’t running around during the day while using all the Batman gadgets…
Again the public seems completely blind toward all the heroes and villains in their small city.
I hope there will be some lengthy action scenes in the next one WITH Stargirl and her team.
I checked these movie ages ago and back then I didn’t think it was very interesting.
After I watched the whole, new TV show with Irma Vep…I gave it another try and watched the whole movie.
And I have to say, it has some interesting aspects….even the movie itself isn’t really good…in my opinion.
Preview:
A masked cat burglar….
…who is under this mask?
Interesting outfit to run around in a hotel 😉
…it gets wet…

Here is the video:
–
These 5 minutes are my favorite minutes are certainly my favorite part of the movie.
I had to cut the first part short as she was peeping on a fully naked woman… that would have been a problem on Youtube.
Especially in comparison to the new TV show, I am no big fan of the overall movie.
BUT, it certainly has some interesting scenes!
First of all, there is a scene where the Irma Vep actress is shown as she tries her latex catsuit for the first time (it only starts as she is fully in it).
It gets more interesting as it gets revealed in a dialog that she asked her costume designer if she could buy the suit after the movie filming was finished.
VERY interesting as it implies she really enjoys wearing it… and that fact gets discussed in the movie 🙂
The video here starts as she runs around in her own hotel with the catsuit… she REALLY likes to wear it 😉
Oddly she doesn’t wear a mask to it. This way every person she would accidentally run into… would see her (a famous actress) running around in that suit!
Seems like she enjoys the danger of getting caught as well 😉
I really enjoy it as she sneakily runs around the hotel after she had stolen the jewels, incl. the sounds of her latex suit.
Her latex suit is really sexy and it gets even better when it gets wet by the rain!
And I think it’s now wet from both sides 😉
Obviously, she then falls asleep on her bed, still wearing her suit! Who knows what she has done after she returns from her little heist….
Her costume designer and that hotel guy find her on her bed dressed like that. I wonder what the two think about that!
Certainly, the costume designer (who is in love with her) has full proof now of how much she likes to wear the suit.
I added the last bit as it has that short self unmasking in it.
It am not sure that the stunt double is wearing a latex suit as long the camera isn’t close. It looks more like spandex to me in that part. Maybe she could easier move around in that.
In the close up she certainly is wearing the latex suit and she looks great in the full outfit with a mask.
In the beginning, the costume designer had a rather unsexy latex mask with zippers on every opening, but that wasn’t chosen as you can see.
It’s a shame that there isn’t any real action as long she is in latex and mask… the possibilities…
Imagine she battling some guards or cops in that outfit! Some unmasking attempts, some mask damage… she slowly panics as she is desperately trying to escape…
–
However, it’s not often you see a cat burglar in latex in a movie or TV show… so I am happy about these scenes!
