masked female thief

The masked art thief, some guards … and some heroes

by

This sounds SO GREAT on paper:

We have a female art thief who is fully masked! 🙂

We have a bunch of security guards who actually confront and battle the art thief! 🙂

And we have some heroes incl. 2 women (one masks herself) who also fight against the art thief! 🙂

…..but…..

See for yourself:

Here is the video:

ARRGGGGGHHHHH!

They start the episode with that fully masked art thief and of course, I think about the possibilities of a great unmasking or an attempt to unmask her.

I was 100% sure that the thief was a woman from the first seconds of the scene, even her baggy clothes and 3-part mask are disguising her perfectly.

But her eyes gave it away instantly.

The fight with the guards was nice but also weird.

Why is the guard shooting at an unarmed thief (Is Gotham in Texas? :lol:)

Why is the thief risking damaging the picture as she throws it around in the fight?

Her strategy wo wait for the guards is weird at first but gets explained later on.

She wants to know them all out to be able to escape without being pursued (if I understood that right).

A shame none of the guards manage to get into close combat with her. One reach for her mask would have already been awesome!

The confrontation with the Gotham Knights is a total disaster in terms of having an interesting unmasking.

It’s nice to see Harper masking herself! Why doesn’t Stephanie has some sort of mask? Damn.

I highly doubt the bullet would get deflected like that as it hits the car. I mean the car isn’t armored, the bullet would just blast through the outer frame and would get stuck there… in my opinion.

Now the art thief is wounded… the heroes arrive and she immediately gives up and unmasks herself.

DAMN!

And the reveal isn’t good as well as the masked super thief isn’t the stunner as I hoped.

Such promise… and then that! All that left me rather frustrated…

Ok, I do like the first scene, so it was nice… but another missed chance.

It’s good that the heroes here in the show use masks for the first time! I hope that they will do that regularly from now on, especially the women 😉

And hopefully, they will have real costumes and masks before the show is over.

That is the main reason I watch the show after all.

A heist with two masked women in broad daylight!

by

I really like this video, and I also hate it! Why? More on that later on…

I stumbled upon this scene as I watch this show for a while and finally started watching it again.

We have two masked women in a heist 🙂

Preview:

Here is the video:

–

Ok, where to start?

I watched the episode and the blonde master thief was introduced. The police were never able to prove any of her thefts and she was planning something.

Of course, my fantasy imagined a great heist scene where she would battle some cops who tried to stop and unmask her.

I was really thrilled by the possibilities 🙂

Then she goes on a heist, and puts up a great mask …. and you might imagine how I reacted to the scene that followed 😉

I cursed at my TV as she was running away and unmasked herself for NO reason! DAMN IT! WHY????????

I mean the police already predicted she would show up there and that’s why all the cops were on the scene undercover.

But she is still masked and could escape. WHY does she unmask herself as she is running away?

That makes no sense at all. I mean as long she is masked she is still “safe” as the cops have no proof that she did it.

It would have been so great if Nolan (the guy in the security dude uniform) would wrestle her down and unmask after a fight… but NO, of course not!

It’s a real trope by now that masked women always unmask themselves for no reason.

That drives me crazy! Another wasted opportunity 🙁

I mean she is already wearing a nice catsuit (sort of) and the mask in combination with the cap is a great disguise… but they screw it up.

Also, it is quite odd that she is on a heist and is wearing these ankle boots with heels but… ok, not as crazy/unrealistic as a Catwoman with stiletto heels (TDKR)….even she was insanely sexy.

The second masked woman is just a little bonus as she is just a nameless henchwoman.

In my imagination, she would have also prevented the unmasking at a nightly heist (without a crew) and would then re-appear in later episodes 😉

Well, I don’t write these scripts…. hopefully, there will be more masked women in the show.

Masked highwayWOman in action! #1

by

Learned a new word today 😉

In this post we have a highwayman in action, well, and as it is a post on this blog….a highwayWOman is actually more precise.

Check it out:

–

Here is the video:

–

Well, I don’t know how they get fooled into thinking it is a highwayMAN that is before them…

Yes, it’s rather dark and yes, she perfectly uses a male voice and is disguised really well.

I still think that you should be able to get that this is actually a woman under these masks.

But ok, not really an important issue.

I really like her mask combo with that hat, the eye mask, and the cloth, very effective…. reminded me a lot of the Nightwatchman and HER 3 part mask combo.

The scene is pretty funny as well, as Dr. Who just stumbles around in his modern clothes and interrupts the robbery.

Of course, I would have preferred her to be unmasked by him… but the self-unmasking is nice.

Especially as she reveals herself to be a rather famous GoT star (the actress).

I will make another post about her where I will reveal the exact episode of Dr. Who where these scenes can be found.

 

*EDIT*:

Here is another scene with her from the same episode:

The oldest unmasking in movie history? [Blog exclusive]

by

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.

So, this scene needs to be on this blog!

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).

P.S.:

If you re-arrange the letters from her name “Irma Vep” …you have “Vampire” (no coincidence) 😉

The Flash catches a masked female thief….

by

…who returns a stolen item!? Quite an odd thief!

So, finally a new interesting scene from the Flash TV show for this blog!

After watching the first 13 episodes of the last season 8 I decided to take a break from the Flash as the show was getting less and less interesting for me over the last years.

The beginning of season 8 was nice as it had the big Flash Armageddon event where Batwoman and Canary showed up.

After these episodes, the season got quickly rather boring for me. Weird storylines and lame action aren’t good things to have 😉

But I knew that the end of the season would have some episodes that might be interesting for this blog so I resumed watching the show.

Today I wanna show the first scene with a very interesting character, and this is only the start… I will make another post about her in a real costume next weekend.

Preview:

–

Here is the video:

–

Well, I like the mask combo with the hood plus the half mask covering the lower part of her face.

Seemingly it’s forbidden that someone ….even tries… to unmask a masked woman in a movie or TV show these days…. so I had no big hopes that the Flash would actually unmask her.

So, her self-unmasking was rather easy to predict 😉

But with the hood and the half mask, it’s at least a good reveal as her face was covered really well.

And as I said, this is only the beginning… she will have a really good costume and cowl after this episode 🙂

Will make another post with her the next Sunday.

A masked female jewelry thief in action

Thanks a lot for the recommendations of a nice guy! This was maybe the best of the many recos he made last month.

We have a masked couple who wanna rob a jewelry store!

But things don’t go as planned…

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!

That didn’t go as planned…

It’s a good scene and I like that she wasn’t forced to unmask herself but that the detective rips that mask off.

It’s a solid reveal.

Of course, I would have preferred a hand-to-hand fight in which she would have been (more) dramatically unmasked… but you can’t have everything 😉

A sexy female masked burglar wants to steal a hightech chip

Thanks to the nice guy who recommended me this one!

I watched the whole movie, which was a mistake…. but the movie does have a really good scene 🙂

And I wanna present that one here…

Preview:

–

And here is the video:

–

Watch the video before you continue!

That is the only scene of any interest in the movie. Sadly it becomes a bad soap opera afterward, a really bad one.

And she doesn’t appear masked later on…. 🙁

But this scene is actually quite interesting:

Her outfit is quite… unusual… but certainly sexy! I love the boots and her mask is quite good as well.

Also, I do like how the guy thinks here. A masked woman wants to steal from him and he naturally wants to see her face. 🙂

He almost immediately goes for her mask and she isn’t skilled enough to stop him.

Sadly the unmasking is shown from a really bad angle as the camera is behind her. Damn!

Still, it’s a solid unmasking and not a self unmasking or a forced unmasking, and that is refreshing…

Would have been good though is she would have been able to put up more of a fight as she was unmasked too easy and too quickly for my taste.

But certainly a good scene in my opinion!

The masked female cat burglar who got caught!

by

Thanks to the nice guy who recommended me this one!

In this one, a masked cat burglar is stealing some art and gets caught by a security guard…

Let’s see who she will or will not get out of this one 😉

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

I like her two-part mask combo with a cap and ninja-type (lower) face mask, even a single full face mask would have been sexier.

And finally, a security guard who knows what he is doing. He catches her and keeps his distance with the gun pointing at her.

He orders her to put down her stolen goods and then immediately demands that she has to unmask.

A little odd that he uses the term hood here, but ok…it was pretty dark.

Instead of getting closer and letting her attack him, like in other examples…. he wants to see her face. 🙂

I like how he is thinking and how he reacts (“Wow!”) 😉

Unfortunately for him, he is then occupied with getting back up and she can get her sci-fi gadget to freeze(?) him.

Well, the effects certainly didn’t age well, but ok, no problem, after all, it’s a TV show from the 90s.

As you can see she isn’t one of the nice cat burglars, she is actually the villainess of the episode.

I like how she is excited as she talks on the phone. Very….. lascivious. 🙂

I only skipped through it to see if she would be masked again…. unfortunately not.

All in all a good scene with a cat burglar in a rather rare forced self-unmasking!

3 masked cat burglars rob a mansion

by

One last post for 2021!

I hope you had a good Christmas time in case that is a holiday for you.

I heard of this movie quite some time ago but for some reason, I didn’t post about it.

Some weeks ago it was recommended to me again and now it is time to make a post about it.

Thanks to whoever recommended me this one again!

So, what do we have here?

We have 3 (female) cat burglars in tight costumes and masks who wanna rob a mansion!

Sounds good? Well, check it out….

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

I had to cut out some stuff during the scenes, but don’t worry nothing with the cat burglars.

I only left out some seconds at the beginning as they were putting the masks on. I think it’s more interesting if you haven’t seen the faces before they are masked in a case like that.

But there were plenty of scenes of seemingly random Lucha libre wrestling in between and that was way too annoying to leave it like that.

So I cut these scenes out except one I missed.

Yeah, no English audio, but that doesn’t really matter as there is only very little dialogue.

Due to the missing English audio (or subs) I didn’t watch the whole movie. And from skipping through it seems like that was a good choice.

But we have a pretty long heist scene with 3 masked women and short moments of action as well.

A shame these guards weren’t able to put up more of a fight.

If I understood it right these chicks are actually villainesses as they here even kill one of the guards.

At the end of the movie they fight against the heroes of the movie, but I didn’t include that short scene because it is embarassing²!

As soon they fight against the heroes the women get replaced by male stunt doubles…and not even small(er) ones but pretty big guys! Every single person who watches the movie can tell that but somehow they thought they would get away with it. Insane.

And this movie wasn’t made in the ’50s or ’60s where they used male stunt doubles for women quite often. This movie is from 1992!

However, a really nice heist scene, that could have used a little more action and at least a close encounter where a guard was trying to unmask one of the cat burglars 😉

–

*EDIT* March 24, 2022:

A nice user wished to see the scene before they wear the masks and he recommended me a movie with an interesting scene.

So, here is the (unlisted) video as a Bonus for you folks:

(that is the first time they appear in these catsuits so, now you have every second of these women in catsuits)

A gorgeous art thief and a muscleman!

For today I do have a short but pretty cool (and new) scene!

I watched this movie some days ago and was very much surprised by that scene.

And it features two absolute Hollywood A-listers!

Yeah, it’s only a short scene, but how great it is to

Spoiler title
have Wonder Woman herself…..Gal Gadot under that mask?!?

I love how she uses the mask to blend in with the other cops/guards who caught the thief and the priceless egg he had stolen.

Of course, I would rather have The Rock catch her, and then they would fight and he would yank at that mask.

But she would use her skills and cleverness to stop the unmasking and escape him…..this time.

Later on, in the movie she would have another scene where he would finally unmask her 😉

I can only recommend this movie, as it not only has 3 really cool actors as the main cast, but it also is pretty funny most of the time.

The action scenes are good as well and you can see how the streaming services invested so much money in it.

A bank robbery with 11(!) masked, female bank robbers

by

Thanks to the nice guy who recommended me this one!

This one is highly unusual…in many ways.

First of all, it is from an Iranian TV show, and thereby the first scene I watched from that country…and I think it’s the same for most of you here as well.

I thought about presenting it here at all, but in the end, the filmmakers are not responsible for the actions of the government, so I decided to make a post.

Especially it offers quite a lot.

Let’s start with some pictures:

(click to enlarge)

–

Here is the video:

–

Ok, a real rollercoaster ride for me.

Let’s start with the bad aspects. It’s a soap opera with a language I don’t understand. So, I don’t have any connection to these characters. Who are they? What do they want? Why are they doing this? That certainly “damages” the impact of the scene quite a big time as they are just random people to me.

How great would it be if I would actually know these women and would really care about them?

Also, that weird nightmare scene with the bad CGI looks just awful.

On the bright side, we have 11(!) women who mask themselves rob a bank, and then unmask themselves afterward!!! The quantity of masks and unmaskings is just awesome. Never seen anything like that.

I also like that they really take their disguises very seriously, most of them are wearing more than one mask or piece of disguise.

The self unmasking in the end is very nice! Of course, I would have wished for some security guards who would be curious to take a peek under these masks…. 😉

I don’t get why they need 11 women to rob that place as normally you have something like 3-5 in most movies.

But ok, I am sure these 11 are connected by some background story….

Female, masked burglar VS male burglar – Round 1

by

This episode of a TV show has some really great scenes! Another one that I discovered through a great compilation video with masked women.

In this episode we have two really good scenes, today I wanna present the first one to you.

So, you may guess what I might be posting next week on Sunday 😉

So, let’s start with some pictures for a preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Some story-snippets: They two meet earlier in the museum where he witnessed her snooping around. So he had a strong hunch about who he would find under that mask. 😉

I love that he uses the moment of surprise to immediately unmask her, clearly catching her off guard. I think they cheated a little with the unmasking.

The whole time her mask was fitting pretty tightly. But as they cut to his hand grabbing onto her mask, the mask is rather loose and much less fitting.

I guess they “prepared” the mask so the unmasking was easier to be done.

However, I enjoy that he goes for her mask and the lines they exchange. I like how she gets away by choosing the better escape route. She runs into a guard, which could be a big problem, especially as she isn’t masked anymore!

But it’s pretty dark and she is moving quickly to get him out of the way. I’m sure that he didn’t get a good look at her face.

–

The other scene with both of them is even better and longer….so stay tuned for the next video!

–

For now, I won’t post the name of the show…but I will when I post the other scene next week.

So, what do you think about that scene?

Masked, female burglars in wetsuits! [Hall of Fame] [quality Upgrade]

by

This one is very special to me!

Actually, this movie was featured in one of the earliest posts on this blog back in 2013.

Some weeks ago I still thought that it actually still was on the blog, but it wasn’t anymore….and honestly, I am not sure what exactly happened.

However, I was planning to make a new post about it. A nice guy recommended me a store that actually has a DVD of this rare movie quite a long time ago.

Finally, I bought the DVD, even it was rather expensive in total, but hey….I just had to have this one in the best quality available.

So, why this movie is so interesting?

Because it’s about a gang of female robbers! They are wearing full masks in two rather short scenes and then are running around in sexy smoothskin wetsuits and masks for nearly 20 minutes!

So again, it would partially fit my Frogwoman blog as well, and I will make a post on it as well, with an additional short scene. More on that later.

–

So, let’s start this post with the two scenes where you can see the original team of 3 women!

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, two good scenes with effectively masked women! Really well disguised!

As later on, they are dressing like men to fool anyone who might see them. In a later video, you see who they even hide their “twins”.

The unmaskings are rather disappointing for me since they are cheating big time! I guess the director or someone else was concerned that their hair would look messy if they just pull these masks off. So they got their hair done nicely and held their masks close to their faces and removed them from then on so it would look more or less like they would pull the masks off their heads in that scene. 🙁

I certainly wouldn’t have done it and would have shown their unmaskings without any cuts or tricks.

Perhaps some folks might have been surprised that there are women under these masks, even I think you certainly can see that in close-ups on their masked faces, that these aren’t men…if you look at the “exposed” eye sections.

 

–

So, I divided the long hotel robbery scene into 4 videos to keep these short.

That way the chances are better that they can stay on Youtube.

3 more women have joined the team to make the big heist that they have planned.

A big hotel on a rather remote island is their target!

Preview:

–

And here are the videos:

–

–

Well, that was quite a robbery! I just love the idea to have 6 women in wetsuits and (modified) scuba masks robbing a hotel!

The preparations pay off and the job goes pretty smoothly for the most part.

Of course, my highlight is the ending where the two guys sneak up on her and then try to unmask her! That is so sexy. The way she desperately struggles to keep her mask on is really well done.

She knows exactly that she would be finished if they manage to yank that scuba mask off. Yeah, she would still have her hood on, but they would see a face that they then could describe to the cops.

Of course, the scene should be a little longer, but ok, it’s a rather AWESOME scene anyhow 🙂

Luckily they are wearing sexy black wetsuits that are appropriate for such a nightly action.

You can find an additional scene on my other blog!

Check it out on Frogwoman org:

Here is the german poster to this movie I just found today:

Well…..how great is that???!!!

Ok, the poster maker took a LOT of liberties as they are wearing completely different wetsuits, doesn’t look anything like these girls, don’t use spear guns, and so on.

But damn, it’s a very attractive poster for sure 🙂

So, if you want the DVD of this movie, I can recommend the site where I got it.

I had to pay 19 Pounds incl. postage, but it was surely worth it!

The cat burglar and James Bond

This is post 2 of 2 for today!

Ok, it’s not a James Bond movie, but this video has Pierce Brosnan in it 😉

Here is the video:

Sorry for the forced subtitles, they were embedded, so I had to use them.

The heist is pretty hilarious, she manages to deactivate two alarm systems, but there was another one and either the painting was too heavy or she was afraid she wouldn’t make it out in time anymore.

It’s fun how she sneaks into his apartment and changes into the bathrobe and embarrases him in front of his partner(?).

Honestly I have never seen a complete episode of this TV show.
