As I don’t have much time tomorrow… you will get a post one day early!
I watched this movie some months ago and forgot to post about that one scene.
This movie introduces one of the main characters of the movie with this scene.
We have some lowlives who have taken some kids as hostages in a school.
A mysterious cop in black leather on a motorcycle arrives and takes action!
Preview:
There she comes…
…the mysterious cop in leather!
Time to take care of the scum!
Who is under that helmet?

Well, certainly she looks great in that black leather outfit!
The reveal is also made well as the audience …especially back then in the 80s… doesn’t expect to find a woman under that helmet as her face is hidden, she doesn’t talk at all before the unmasking and no one addresses her specifically as a female.
That disguise worked perfectly for that and was very practical as that helmet also protected her during the action.
Sadly she isn’t a masked female vigilante, even that might work as well 😉
Love the ending where the idiot thinks that she is out of bullets and attacks her 😆
I created this video last year for the annual “October to Remember” event on the “Behind the Mask” forum.
It’s time that the video now gets available for visitors here and on my YouTube channel as well!
Here is the original text from my forum post then:
I worked on this over a couple of hours, skipped through the whole season, made notes, and rated scenes. Then I cut every scene to around 30 seconds or so. I edited all of that together and added some pictures, lettering, and some score.
So what did I make? Quite a long video with my TOP 25 scenes of the Black Scorpion show. My initial idea was to make a TOP 22… because of 22 episodes… but well…. 25 sounds cooler. I could have made a TOP 50 with good scenes as well… but I think this video took long enough. I will upload this one to my blog in December… but for the next … at least … 5 weeks this is an exclusive video for this site (unlisted on Youtube). Between the TOP 10 scenes, you will see official Black Scorpion promo pictures.
So, take your time (15 minutes) and I hope you enjoy it! ….perhaps you might even wanna make a game out of it in terms of guessing which scenes will be in the TOP 10 or so…. …. the first scene will begin after 15 seconds….
Here is the video:
You will find the rank of the scene in my ranking and info from which episode it is in the line at the bottom.
Some scenes were edited to make them a little more compact… so that the video wouldn’t get too long.
I thought about putting headlines into the video like “Black Scorpion gets unmasked by Flashpoint” … but that would spoil it… for those few who don’t know these scenes.

Any scenes that you think are missing from that TOP 25?
Feel free to give some feedback here or on YouTube with a comment!

P.S.:
Feel welcome to check out the Black Scorpion page in the Hall of Fame
It’s time for a proper upgrade as there is so little text in these old posts!
This is one of my favorite scenes that I have watched a hundred times, so it’s time to make a proper upgrade post.
Also, the video is on my pretty small Dailymotion channel, so many of you may have never seen the video or that old post.

In this TV show, Barbara Gordon is Oracle and is bound to a wheelchair.
As her old enemy, Lady Shiva re-appears in Gotham Barbara feels the need to put on her old (GREAT) Batgirl costume and can (shortly) walk again with the help of an experimental device.
Preview:
The two meet again..
…Lady Shiva…
…and Batgirl!
Batgirl is down!
Is that a hand at her cowl? 😉

Watch the video before you continue!
This Batgirl costume (alongside the nearly identical one from “Batman and Robin”) is SO AWESOME for me!
The mixture with the (mostly) black leather and rubber is sexy as hell and I love every second Dina Meyer is in it (and Alicia Silverstone).
If I would live in that Gotham City I would become a criminal in no time or …even better… a cop who wants to arrest the vigilante. #BlackScorpionvibes
Or I would need to be rescued from evil criminals suspectingly often 😉
The cowl is nice but basically my only issue about the whole outfit.
It is cut open very high at the back of the head and …more problematic… has no chin strap and no neck coverage.
So unmasking her is way too easy as this video demonstrates.
Also, the cowl could simply fall off in a hectic fight… and that shouldn’t be possible.
It’s a fantastic tread that here we also have a second masked woman in the scene… Lady Shiva.
And damn… her mask is AWESOME and the costume is quite good as well.
It’s a shame that Batgirl here goes down so easily as that device is failing quickly. 🙁
An epic unmasking battle with these two where Batgirl isn’t paralyzed and is wearing a properly secured/upgraded cowl… is basically my holy grail.
Also a whole TV show with such a Batgirl as the lead character…. would be even more insanely-awesome-fantastic 😉
In this show Batgirl is just in one episode and some black and white mini flashbacks.
I do love that Shiva here immediately goes for Batgirl’s mask as soon she realizes that Batgirl is helpless!
That’s how a villain(ess) should do it! She has the opportunity to find out who Batgirl is and takes it. Perfect!
Not like most of the other villains who just run off and aren’t interested at all to find out who is hiding behind that mask.
Now the helpless Barbara Gordon is lying in front of her and she is ready to finish her off to get her revenge (most likely).
Then Huntress, who is sadly never wearing a mask or even a costume, shows up right in time to save Barbara.
She was too late to save Batgirl from the unmasking though. #timing
Due to the fact that Huntress isn’t wearing a mask, Lady Shiva recognizes Helena and runs off as she doesn’t wanna fight against her.
Or maybe she was afraid to lose and then be unmasked as well? 😉
All in all just an awesome scene!
Here, as a little bonus… two (edited) pictures of the “exposed” Barbara:
So, what’s interesting about this “Nightwatchman” character in this TV show? And how it is relevant to this blog?
Well, what only some folks in the show will find out is…that this masked vigilante is actually a WOman. So the correct title would be NightwatchWOman 😉
I keep referring to her as the “Nightwatchman” because it is the name of the vigilante.

This one is actually one of the very best recommendations that were ever made to me! THANKS a LOT!
It will lead to an entry in the “Hall of Fame” in the next weeks 🙂
I somehow totally missed this TV show and in the end, the recommendation lead to me buying every three seasons of it on Blu-ray.
Each season has “only” 13 episodes but they greedily split each season into 2 blu-ray boxes with just 2 discs each. So I had to buy 6 Blu-ray boxes to get all 3 seasons.
But since the show isn’t new anymore…it wasn’t very expensive (besides the very last box).
This one is another perfect example while I love such characters in (long) TV shows. You really get connected to these characters and every scene has much more intensity for me than it would have if the character would just appear in some minutes during a random video. The character has much more depth and I am much more interested in what will happen to him/her throughout the show.
Yeah, it costs a lot of time to watch all these episodes, but it was more than worth it in the end. And not only for the Nightwatchman scenes, I enjoyed the whole show quite a lot…especially seasons 1 and 2.
–
In total, I have not fewer than 7 scenes with the Nightwatchman, today I wanna present the first two.
Here is the first scene as an appetizer….
Preview, scene 1:
Robin Hood chases…
…the mysterious masked vigilante known as “Nightwatchman” (and nearly impossible to get on a proper screenshot in this scene)
Even this video with less than 2 minutes wasn’t welcome on Youtube, so I had to go with plan B…. even that means that I have to make these posts without any videos on my Youtube channel. 🙁
–
Yeah, not much to see her as we get only some glimpses on the Nightwatchman.
But it is her first appearance and her background is explained to Robin and us.
And the next scene will be verrrrry interesting 😉
————————–
Preview, scene 2:
Lurking in the woods (and with leaves blocking the camera)
Let’s start with the costume: At that time only very few sexy fabrics were invented/in use.
I think they make a LOT out of the available materials. I like her leather top that….if you get a good look…. clearly gives away that the Nightwatchman is a woman ;-), even she tries her best that no one notices that with her costume.
I LOVE that she really takes a great effort to hide her identity. Actually, her whole masquerade has 3 items! The hood hides her hair, the rather big eye mask is concealing her face alongside the scarf that covers the lower part of her face.
She has so much to lose if someone would figure out who she is, and she does everything she can to protect her secret identity. A+
If you have seen at least one of the 3652 (or so) Robin Hood movies…you know that Marian is his big love. And that makes his reaction to the unmasking so pleasing to me.
He thinks the Nightwatchman is some kind of murderer (“he” is not) and finds Marian under these masks…. I love such a constellation!
The unmasking is filmed quite….odd. He pulls back her hood …but then she quickly decides to unmask herself completely. Well, it makes sense as they know and love each other (most of the time). As she realizes that there is no escape for her, she rather unmasks herself than letting him do it.
I would have rather preferred her to defend her mask and to put up a fight in a scene before he pins her to the ground, but well she will have some thrilling fights with others ;-).
And this was only the beginning…soon the evil “Guy of Gisborne” will try everything to stop the Nightwatchman.
Guy is also in love with Marian….. and really HATES the Nightwatchman at the same time.
Again…I LOVE such constellations! 😉

Wanna know from which episode of which show this is?
You can watch the episodes LIVE on the CW (Sundays, now at 9 PM) or watch it also for FREE on the CW website (link) and on the CW app, starting Mondays after an episode has been aired on Sunday!

Some screenshots:

Have you seen it already?
What do you think about it?
Leave a comment here or on the page of the episode!
I didn’t have the chance to watch the (shorter) season 2 of this show but this will be my last post from season 1.
In this one, we have a villainess in red leather and an eye mask to fight the Supah Ninjas!
Preview:
There she is…the villainess of the story!
Busted!
But she now has….
….the female ninja!

And here is the video:
….you are too late, had to remove the file…. sorry.
–
As you should know by now I’m not the biggest fan of eye masks, but this one is pretty good as I like the material (leather) and shape of it.
Also, the scene where she has the female ninja at her mercy is quite sexy. Damn, I wish she would have been curious to see who is underneath that ninja mask.
An “unmasking-duel” between those two would have been the proper ending for the episode in my opinion 😉
But I really like the last scene here, having two masked women like these two fightings each other….. is always interesting to watch!
Tomorrow Friday I will post about the last episodes from the big CRISIS crossover, but today…
… I found these promo pictures for the Arrow episode “Green Arrow & the Canaries” which will be shown on the 21st:
(click to enlarge)
–
….well…….in this episode there will be 3(!) masked women! The new Green Arrow Mia Smoak and 2 canaries (Laurel / Dinah).
This episode will be the pilot episode of the possible Spin-off TV show that might start later this year.
Due to time traveling all 3 women will still be young in that 2040 setting (not like I feared).
So, that TV show would have 3 masked women in the main roles!
Only eye masks…but still…..that would be so fantastic!
Especially with Katherine McNamara (in the last picture) as the new Green Arrow!!!
Oh man…. the golden Age of masked heroines in movies and TV would become even more golden. 🙂
Finally got to see this whole movie. At some point I think someone recommended it to watch it, but I’m not 100% sure. If that was the case, thanks for doing so!
This movie has quite a lot of great scene. Not only it has 3 masked women with completely different masks, it has a lot of other sexy scenes in it too.
So I decided to cut all these scenes into one video for you to enjoy!
Preview:
Masked woman #1
Masked woman #2
Masked woman #3

And here is the video:
–
Well, some good scenes I would say!
The woman in latex is Ariana Grande, for those few who don’t know her. A shame that her unmasking was shown on the movie…but she does look really hot in that latex costume and mask!
And…DAMN! Penelope Cruz is smoking hot in this one!
The masked women #3 (see pictures above) is actually Milla Jovovich! I have seen many movies with her, but with that wig and the massive lipstick usage….I didn’t realised it was her.
The unmasking with her is really good, although it seems to use quite some CGI effects to show that unmasking. But I really like the struggle and the reveal.
As a little bonus I edited the scene with the unmasking in a very short version for you:
I recommend to dl the video and play it in infinite loop 😉
(tried to upload it on YouTube, but it was blocked after a minute)
–
As you should know by now, I’m not the biggest fan of eye masks, since they are just not big enough to hide enough….but seeing three pretty women like these in such costumes…with these masks…..is rather interesting! 😉
And the aspect of their masks actually changing their thinking….is fascinating!
If they would wear these costumes all the time…I would have seen every episode…
Ok, the boy should make some adjustments to the costumes and masks, but his result isn’t bad for sure.
–
Here you can see which episode from which TV series it is:
One year after my last post about his art it’s time to present my favorite artworks from BluLIve from the last 12 months.
He presents a lot of celebrities under cowls and full face masks as well. And he also shares my interest in masks with battle damage as well. 🙂
Here are my selected favorites from the last 12 months:
Margot Robbie as Batman!
A Catwoman
3 different Batwomen with mask damage!
3 different Batwomen with mask damage!
3 different Batwomen with mask damage!
Another good Batgirl version!
Wonder Woman as Spider-girl 🙂
That woman + that cowl = GREAT!
Damaged, but still covered well enough…

The first picture shows pretty much how a real mask/cowl for a heroine should look like in my opinion. And if you combine….this mask with that costume….
(click to enlarge)
….that would be the perfect combination for me. It is really difficult to make a costume that I would like better than that one.

Here is the link to his Deviant Art page, check it out to see all his work:
Well…this clip (and the entire movie) is most…bizarre. A more or less failing horror-comedy….BUT is has three sexy, masked nun-assassins who are fighting VS evil elves and a vampire version of Santa Clause! So don’t show this clip to your kids 😉
I had to edit some seconds of violence out of the clip, so it doesn’t get kicked off YouTube right away. And the ending had to go too, because the clip would get a little too long with it (and no more masked nuns anyhow in it…at the end).
Preview:
Here they are:
Masked nun-assassins!
Ready for combat!
That doesn’t look to good for her…
Vampire Santa!!!!

And here is the video:
–
Well, one of the…weirder movies for sure 😉 !
But I won’t complain about sexy, mysterious …combat nuns….
Ok, a shame none of them gets unmasked, but well, I guess the evil elves didn’t have an unmasking fetish 😉
