Black Scorpion TV show – The best scenes from the best episodes – [Episode 19]

by

Ok, it is time to have another post about the legendary Black Scorpion TV show!

Now all my 3 favorite episodes are covered here.

This one is about the most famous unmasking that happened in the show.

If you don’t know it, I really envy you!

The show is in my Hall of Fame and if you are into masked women, this TV show is an absolute MUST have!

Today, it’s all about episode 19….with “biggest” unmasking!

And being embedded in a TV show it’s really very suspenseful as you know these characters for some time already.

Normally I post the pictures before the video, but this time I wanna do it differently as the pictures give away every great scene of this video.

Warning!

For those who do not know the episode, I recommend strongly watching the video first (Google Drive link) …and then… scroll down further!

(The video combines the best Black Scorpion scenes of the episode….not all (that would be around 14 minutes in total))

I love the first scene with Black Scorpion and Steve as she kisses him but he calls out for his partner Darcy.

Darcy shows up and he mentions that he never saw Darcy and Black Scorpion at the same time…..well, he never got closer to solving that “mystery” 😉

Ok, I am not the biggest fan of unmasking tied-up heroines, but at least better than unconscious ones.

All in all, this is one of the very best unmaskings ever done!

It isn’t the first time in the season that Black Scorpion gets unmasked…but the only time someone finds out who she is! And to make it so much worse for her: He is also is exposing her to the whole world by taking that picture of her unmasked face and selling it to the press. Flashpoint totally ruins her secret identity and the police are chasing after her, especially Steve who is …quite….furious that Black Scorpion is actually Darcy, his partner!

I also like that this is a double unmasking as he first rips of her eye protection (against his laser thingy) and thereby can see her eyes.

The whole build-up is great as they talk about what he would gain from unmasking her.

Also, I love how he is teasing her as he even pretends to attack her. You can clearly see how afraid she is of what is about to happen. She knows exactly that she is finished once he rips her mask and wig off and thereby revealing Darcy Walker!

The final unmasking itself is a little flawed for me for two reasons:

  1. There is the fade to black and then the scene goes on (commercial break)
  2. They show his hand on her mask, then cut to him, then he already is pulling her mask and wig away. This was most likely done to be able to remove her black face paint around her eyes…and show her exposed face without it. Rather unrealistic…. but yeah, she would look a little weird with that “panda” eyes.

But her reaction is done so well! She is angry and frustrated and he enjoys his victory over her…verrry much. Especially interesting after he missed several chances in episode 3 to get a picture of her unmasked face.

The episode then takes the fantasy route as there is a clone of Darcy, so she can convince everyone that is (seemingly) isn’t Black Scorpion after all. But yeah, it’s very hard to think of a realistic approach to all of this, unless she would have a twin sister or someone who would convincingly be Black Scorpion and Darcy would show up next to her (like in season 1 of Batwoman with Julia as Batwoman for one episode).

This also is another good example of how much such a scene gets better if you are really invested in the characters. If you have seen all 18 episodes before, you are really invested in Black Scorpion. You know her very well by now and you also know Flashpoint and his plans from episode 3.

This makes the unmasking so much more impactful than it would be in 99,9% of the fetish videos for me.

That is why I am sooo interested in TV shows with masked women like Black Scorpion, Batwoman, Stargirl, and the Queen of Swords.

And hopefully, there will be more new shows in the future!

The “Nightwatchman” in action! – Scene 7 [Final]

by

It’s time for one last scene of the Nightwatchman in action!

So far, she did a really good job in helping the oppressed people of Nottingham.

She also managed to escape the bad guys, especially the evil Guy of Gisborne who wants to stop the Nightwatchman and unmask him (as he still thinks it’s a man #blind)

What will happen this time? Well, see for yourself…..

Watch the video before you continue!

Well….what can I say? Perhaps……WOW!

I got really attached to both Marian and the Nightwatchman in their adventures over 2 seasons of this show.

And know she is trapped, pinned down by Guy, he rips off her eye mask….finally he realizes the Nightwatchman is a woman.

I guess he also realizes now that it’s his beloved Marian under the mask of his hated Nightwatchman.

He slowly yanks down the fabric that still covers her face pretty well.

Finally, the Nightwatchman is UNMASKED!

There is quite a lot I really love about this EPIC unmasking!

The fight is done quite well, and the way she reacts to her more and more desperate situation is great.

She really sells the fear very well as her face gets exposed by him.

He is so shocked that it is Marian that he runs away at first.

He stills doubts that it was her all the time, wanting the see the scar he inflicted on the vigilante.

So, as she is forced to show that scar it’s like a second unmasking …in a way.

Perhaps a “NO!” or a “STOP!” would have been nice as he was about to unmask her…but she always stay silent in his presence as she was concerned he would recognize her voice….or at least realize that the Nightwatchman IS a woman.

So, it fits quite well, that she didn’t protest as he was unmasking her.

Well….I think this is one of the most thrilling unmaskings ever made in a movie or TV show. Especially I was so into the storyline after having seen over 20 episodes with her.

Ok, the Nightwatchman should have had more appearances, but well…I posted all 7 scenes of her….so, that’s not too bad.

Spoilers about Marian’s future in the show…..

Tragically this unmasking indirectly leads to Marian’s death just 2 episodes later as Gisborne is now really enraged.

At the end of season 1, she was already presumed dead. The producer loved the strong reaction of the audience as I saw in the bonus material on the Blu-ray set.

So they came up with the idea to “top” that and kill her off, this time for real!

I don’t like that decision at all, even it is a drastic and unusual way to kill off the big love of the main character! That was certainly not expected.

Of course, that also means that there were no more Nightwatchman scenes in the final third season, which was just ok for me.

I will re-watch seasons 1 and 2 at some point….but not season 3 😉

Masked thief in action?!?

by

I was thrilled as I heard that Barbara Gordon would be in season 3 of “Titans” and that Gotham would be the setting during that season.

Of course, I had hoped that then Batgirl would be in the show….but the plot takes place years after she quit being Batgirl as she was severely injured and actually lost a leg(!), unlike in the comics.

That news pretty much killed a lot of my anticipation towards the season, but I decided to watch it anyhow.

And that was a good decision as I enjoyed the 7 episodes that have been aired so far.

In one of these episodes, we get 2 scenes that are very well suited for this blog!

Well, that was a NICE surprise! Barbara Gordon as a masked thief 🙂

A little disappointing that she unmasked herself, but well, still a really good scene.

I like how she makes fun of Robin and fights him with just one hand.

The second scene is also good as she gets in real trouble there! Of course, I hoped the villainess would reach for the mask or a punch would unmask Barbara as her mask isn’t exactly well secured.

These scenes are placed before she actually became Batgirl.

I do HOPE that we get more flashbacks of her….would love to see her in the Batgirl costume, even it may “only” be the one with an eye mask.

Black Scorpion TV show – The best scenes from the best episodes – [Episode 1]

by

Ok, I guess and hope that many of you already know the Black Scorpion TV show…. and since I didn’t cover the show with enough posts in the past…I wanna change that now.

The show is in my Hall of Fame and if you are into masked women, this TV show is an absolute MUST have!

A little extract from my post in the Hall of Fame (more info on the show can be found there):

I remember how I stumbled upon this show in the early 2000s.

This show was never shown here, but at some point, I read about the show and saw some pictures.

I immediately bought the DVD box set in the US and it took a while to get the Season box set to arrive here.

I also had to buy a DVD player that could handle region 1 DVDs. It was a pretty expensive endeavor, but damn, it was worth it BIG time! 😉

I watched one episode every evening until I have seen all 22 episodes.

And that was a great thrill ride every night!

…

Ok, enough introduction….let’s start with one of the best episodes.

Here are the highlights of episode 1!

And here is the video:

[Watch the video before you continue!]

It’s Steve’s first encounter with Black Scorpion! This starts his obsession with catching the Black Scorpion. He was transferred to this police department to catch her…. and I envy him big time! What a fantastic job! He gets paid to chase after such a stunning masked vigilante…oh man!

The ending of the episode with Firearm is so awesome! I love how he blackmails her to unmask herself….such a great move, and he really enjoys it 😉

One of the rare villains who actually wants to know who is under the mask of a heroine. And her reaction to it is well done and played as well!

Plus it’s a great bonus that he recognizes Darcy…and again, I love how he is enjoying the whole situation.

A good move that she quickly puts the mask back in place as soon she gets the chance.

In the end, Firearm has to die….after all, he had seen her face, so it was the most logical choice from the writers to get him killed.

It was the first episode if a villain like him would found out about her secret identity and would be able to tell everyone…it would be a short TV show.

Damn, I would give for a Blu-ray box for this TV show!!! Or a (not so cheesy) remake with better action scenes… #dream

Skilled assassin VS Blackbird and Grace [Black Lightning]

by

Black Lightning has only a few episodes left in its final season, but it still delivers good scenes with masked women!

And this one is so far the best of the season. We have a nice fight scene with a skilled assassin that fights Blackbird and Grace, who both have really good masks…in my opinion.

Earlier in the episode, the assassin tortured a guy so he would give up the secret identity of Blackbird, but he didn’t as he just didn’t know who she is.

She actually keeps her secret identity really well…..secret 🙂

But the assassin manages to find Blackbird and Grace….

Watch the video first before you continue!

As I said before I really like these masks! They cover their faces effectively but still show the eyes and parts of the upper face. These “half masks” are a good compromise between these tiny eye masks (example: Black Cat) and full-face masks (example: Spider-Gwen) for me.

The fight with him is pretty long and I was quite thrilled as I watched it as I always hoped he would manage to unmask one of them or both. Damn, how great it would be if at least his hand would have yanked on one of the masks in an attempt to yank them off.

But still, this is quite a highlight for me as you won’t find many scenes like that! Not one but two really well masked women in a long fight with a skilled attacker….rare stuff!

He is still out there to hunt down Blackbird…so I hope for more action scenes with him and other masked women in the next weeks. 😉

2 female, masked bank robbers in 2 scenes

by

This one was recommended to me quite some time ago, but I had problems getting my hands on the movie.

Thanks to the guy who recommended me this one! Shamefully I can’t find that old email with the search function….so it would be great if the one who recommended this one would contact me again with the date when he sent me that email with the recommendation!

Nowadays I have a much better system to organize such things, but not back then….

This movie is sort of a “must-have” if you like to see masked women!

I could so many more scenes out of that movie as we have 2 women who are masked for the bigger part of the whole movie!

But as I can’t post all these scenes I focused on my 2 favorite scenes.

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

…sorry, had to remove it…..you are too late…

 

I cut the scenes down to under 4 minutes…and it was blocked immediately on Youtube. I even tried it with just one scene with under 2 minutes….but the same result 🙁

So this will be another video that is only available on this blog and not on my Youtube channel.

–

Now to the scenes in the video (WATCH the video first!):

She looks very sexy with that mask on her which conceals her face really well.

I really love how close he is to her. With one quick pull, he could unmask her and find out who is hiding under that mask!

But well, that wouldn’t be too good for his health I guess 😉

But if I would be in his position…..I would have a hard time hiding my……excitement.

At first, I was really disappointed that she unmasked herself….but well, her secret identity was gone by that time anyway as the cops had figured out who she is.

This is a far too common trope…. that they figure out way too often who is under a mask without physically unmasking her/him first.

Pretty sure you folks too prefer the masked women to be unmasked by someone yanking off that mask…instead of some research and tech gadgets 😉

But on the good side, we have a nice self unmasking. And it’s not the only one in this movie….so if you wanna see the other ones….you should watch the whole movie!

But of course, you won’t find any scene where someone unmasks one of the female robbers….if such scenes were in the movie….I would of course post them 😉

Stunning masked female bank robbers! [+bonus video]

by

Don’t know how I forgot about this movie. I do have the DVD in my collection for a really long time now.

Recently I decided to re-watch the movie and now it’s time to make a blog post about it!

In this one 4 stunning women/models decide to rob some banks. The leader does also is the getaway driver and so we get some nice car chases in the movie….

And here is the video:

Interesting and sexy scenes!

I like that they really take their disguise very seriously. They dress up in rather clunky men’s clothes or sports clothes so that you can’t even tell that they are women unless you get a closer look.

Also, their masks are very effective as they really disguise their faces.

Sadly they are quite sloppy when it comes to keeping their masks on. 2 of them are already unmasked when the cops show up who can clearly see their faces.

Also, the 2 masked women quickly unmask (sadly off screen) as they drive away with the female cop. The sexy lieutenant now knows how all of them look. So, they do have quite a problem now…

The scene with the body search is…..damn sexy! The female cop is really sexy and isn’t afraid of showing it (mildly) throughout the movie. And when supermodel Gisele Bündchen searches her body really thoroughly…. that’s insanely sexy…in my opinion.

In my version of the movie all 4 would keep their masks on (Gisele would wear one too) and the lieutenant and the male cop would battle them hand to hand. During the struggle, more cops would arrive at the scene and they would start to overpower the bank robbers. Now they would try to unmask them, one by one. After some resistance 3 of them would be fully unmasked while Gisele would try to escape. The cop would follow her and they would have a long fight where she would desperately try to keep her mask on. 😉

–

I do have a short BONUS video for you guys!

In this one, you can see how the 4 chicks arrive in New York and later changes their outfits into beachwear(!) as they try to escape the cops.

–

Oh my! I wouldn’t mind being that cop in that scene 😉

Not every day you check a car with 4 models in bikinis in it!

–

This is the movie:

IMDB-link

–

The IMDB score of 4.5 is really surprising to me! Yeah, it’s not a really good comedy but the movie has some nice gags, cool car chases, and these 4 gorgeous bank robbers!

For me, that is certainly enough to enjoy the movie. I suspect that many folks might have “problems” with Queen Latifah as the female lead role. I think she was ok in it.

You won’t find many movies with such hot masked women….that’s for sure!

3 masked heroines in Black Lightning (Grace, Lightning, Blackbird)

by

I was watching the latest Black Lightning episode and wasn’t really thrilled about it as there wasn’t much action in it and not anyone in costume in the whole episode.

But then, right before the end…. a really cool scene developed!

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, it’s only a rather short action scene and there is “mask action”….but to have 3 masked women in one picture is already a great feature! 🙂

I really like Blackbird’s mask as it is designed very well for me and also disguises her identity really well in combination with that hood.

Would love to see someone yanking that mask off her face at one point!

I never was thrilled about Thunder’s mask as it is only an eye mask that practically covers nothing. And it also didn’t help that the character has now this short haircut.

Grace looks really good with that leather mask that she debuted in this episode. I hope that she will have more appearances alongside Blackbird in this final season!

 

And of course, you can find more scenes with masked heroines in practically every episode of Black Lightning, starting in season 2.

I posted “just” the highlights on this blog so far.

The masked woman from Hong Kong

by

This one was recommended to me, so THANKS to the guy who did it!

My knowledge of asian movies is rather limited as they often don’t make it to europe and they never get subtitled or dubbed.

I only skipped through this one as it doesn’t make much sense to me to fully watch a movie where you don’t understand the language (unless the language isn’t….necessary 😉 ).

I found two scenes where the masked woman appears, although it seems really odd that she is only in these scenes.

But if there are other scenes with her, they can only be some seconds long.

Preview:

–

And here is the video:

–

Well, I don’t have any clue about what is really going on there, who she is and why she is masked in the first place….due to the language barrier.

However her masks assortment is pretty unique.

I’m not the biggest fan of eye masks, especially when they are out of plastic. But this masks-combo incl. the nylon half mask does conceal her face just enough to make it interesting.

Her costume is quite sexy altogether. 🙂

And the 2 stage self unmasking is done quite well.

Would be nice to understand the language to get the background story. That would certainly improve these scenes with the masked woman.

The masked female revolutionist

I watched this new french Netflix TV show and stumpled upon a masked female revolutionist. 🙂

And actually in one scene, she even wears two masks!

But let’s start with some pictures…

And here is the video:

I guess you have realised that this is a german dubbed version.

I watch most of the TV shows in original english audio. But as I said this show is french, so I watched the german dubbed version as it wouldn’t make sense for me to watch the english dub of a french TV show 😉

However the really interesting parts of this video can be understand without any language.

For dramatic purposes I re-arranged the scenes as the scene in the prison is set AFTER the one in the cave in the TV show. This way you could see her with her two masks first and then have the “full” unmasking for the end.

Quite an extraordinary “mask setting”. One mask to disguise her as a plague doctor and one to cover up the scars caused by a villain who carved them into her face when she was younger.

Her half mask which basically covers only one half of her face reminds me on the phantom of the opera who was wearing a mask like that for similar resasons.

This is set some year before 1800 so there are only few material available for a mask. I really like her leather mask. Would be a great mask for a vigilante in the “full version”.

Ravager in action + news of season 3 of Titans!

by

Somehow I completely forgot to post about Ravager in season 2 of Titans.

Ok, her mask is more like a fashion item in the show and doesn’t really give her a secret identity, but a mask is a mask.

And this mask is solid and covers enough of her face 🙂

For this video I edited two scenes together. The first scene os from episode 12 of season 2 and the 2nd is from episode 13.

And here is the video:

Some fine fight scenes and I like how she unmasks her father and then herself at the end.

There are some more scenes with her in mask, but nothing with action if I remember right.

Would be nice to see more from her in season 3 if she is still around then. Perhaps then she might have a secret identity and fights against people who don’t know who is under that mask.

–

Some INTERESTING news on season 3 of Titans:

On the DC Fandome they talked about the upcoming season 3 of Titans.
They confirmed that
A) season 3 will be set in GOTHAM! (Oh…. the possibilities for appearances of masked women!!!) 🙂
B) there will be also a commissioner Gordon! And not the one YOU think! It won’t be Jim Gordon….it will be BARBARA Gordon who leads the Gotham police!
That is already good news!

Of course it doesn’t mean that Barbara will dress up for her other job at night….but who knows? It wouldn’t surprise me if Barbara is frustrates as hell with the police in Gotham and pursues justice in a more “direct” way….at night 😉

At the DC Fandome on September 12 there will be a 30 minute panel, hopefully some more news already shows up there.
The panel on the last weekend had only 15 minutes.

Another masked heroine on this TV show is Dove and I posted about her best scene in season 1 a while back:

[SPOILERS ahead, watch the episode before you continue!]

[SPOILERS ahead, watch the episode before you continue!]

The episode was pretty good. Not much of Stargirl in it, but I really liked how they introduced Icicle as a villain.

A great mixture between a caring father, charming buisiness man ….and psycho-maniac!

He is true evil, trying to kill a bus full of kids and as that failed he took care of another accident to happen in which a kid was actually killed.

Again the show switches from light comedy scenes to pretty dark ones. An interesting mixture.

And of course I hope that Icicle will get what he deserves!

Even I’m not a big fan of big team-ups in such movies/TV shows…..it will be interesting to see all the heroes that Stargirl will recruit over the next episodes.

Honestly I don’t know much about these characters so it will be a “surprise” for me to see them in action for the first time.

Especially I’m looking forward to see Wildcat in action! Two masked women battling some villains…..a really good scenario!

–

It was a little strange to see that her mask has a black elastic strap to keep it on her face as it “disturbs” the look in my opinion.

In some scenes like this you can see it:

Normally these smaller masks are fixated with some sort of glue, perhaps her mask is too heavy for that?

Kind of odd, because in most scenes you don’t see this strap…

Here is the preview for the next episode where Wildcat gets recruited by Stargirl:

Yeah, pretty thrilled for that one!

Sister Night in action! [Watchmen]

by

From the full basket of material I wanna post about Sister Night today!

In the new Watchmen TV show she is a masked vigilante who kicks some ass. There are more scenes with her throughout the season, but I wanna focus on some scenes of her from the very first episode.

And here is the video:

This video is not exactly suited for vegetarians 😉

I like how she combines different mask parts to protect her secret identity. Fabric cover her mouth and nose region, facepaint to cover her eye region and a hood.

Pretty effective cover! Altough the mask isn’t very “sexy” for me.

The overall action and especially the close combat fight scenes are done very well in this TV show. I like how she kicks ass.

Unfortunately Sister Night isn’t in every episode and her secret identity isn’t very secret and no one really cares about it anyway. But besides the storyline with all its twists and WTF-moments…she is another good reason to watch the show.

Blackbird in action! [Black Lightning]

by

These days there isn’t a shortage of masked women in TV shows. I posted a lot about Batwoman, but other running shows have masked women too.

Last sunday I posted about Flash, today it is about Black Lightning. Next week it will be about Watchmen.

In Black Lightning we have now Blackbird! Finally a woman in this show that has a proper mask 🙂

Much better than the tiny eye masks of her father and sister in my opinion.

The Flash VS a villainess with a red half mask

Not only on the Batwoman show we have a masked woman, the other Arrowverse shows deliver too!

Yes, I know your first question!

Who is she and what happens to her?

Well, unfortunately we don’t see her getting unmasked or even without that mask afterwards (that would be in the video for sure!).

Her character is only appearing before that scene and without a costume.

But even without the unmasking…I really enjoy watching a woman in such a costume and mask beating up those guys and then battling the Flash.
