A double-masked villainess

I finally am catching up with the last season of a certain TV show and stumbled upon this scene.

Time to post it here!

We have a guy wandering around, but he isn’t alone. A mysterious masked woman is following him!

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!

Yeah, a nice scene. I like that she is wearing two masks, even the cloth thing is most likely just there for comfort.

But in my mind, it is her backup mask in case someone yanks off her main mask 😉

It’s also good that the two know each other so the unmasking has a bigger impact as they have quite a history and now she is with the bad guys and is threatening him and his dog.

Of course, I would have preferred that they would fight and then there would be a dramatic unmasking after one or two failed attempts… but no luck 😉

And at least a glimpse of some sort of sexiness in this TV show. Zombie apocalypses are very unsexy after all 😆

Wanna know from which episode this is?

A heist with two masked women in broad daylight!

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 🙂

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.

Wanna know from which episode and show this is?

What do you think about this scene?

The Queen of Swords unmasks herself… and a bad guy witnesses it!

I posted about the best mask-related scenes here some years ago… but I missed one scene that surely needs to be here as well!

This TV show is in my Hall of Fame and is certainly one of my favorites 🙂

Here we have an episode where Tessa finds out that there is a man who actually knows who killed her father.

Of course, she wants to know and actually saves this guy (as Queen of Swords) from the evil duo the Colonel and the Captain.

But then something really bad is happening….

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

In the past, I often mentioned how careless some masked heroines are when it comes to self-unmaskings in (more or less) public places.

For example, Batwoman unmasked herself on rooftops and alleys at night in the TV show. There was always the danger that someone might show up or would watch it from the distance.

I’m not a big fan of such careless behavior… as I don’t want anyone to uncover a secret identity out like that.

The Queen of Swords was more careful in general and here she thought it would be safe to unmask herself in her own home which is placed quite remote.

But, unlucky for her… the scumbag was peeping through her windows and saw how the Queen of Swords unmasked herself and he recognized the face of Tessa.

And that is such an enormous problem for any heroine with a secret identity… especially if it’s a bad guy.

With his knowledge, he approaches her when she is the most vulnerable. Tessa is alone, without weapons, and without her costume.

Her dress is also making it more difficult for her as it slows her down.

 

Quite unusual that the show really gets that dark and that they have a bad guy who actually wants to rape the heroine/her civilian self!

That never was a topic in shows like Black Scorpion, Batwoman, etc.

And here she really gets into a big dilemma, as she wants to know from him who killed her father, but also has to defend herself and take care of the fact that he knows her biggest secret!

The outcome is the only possible outcome for me. He knows her secret identity, he tried to rape her… she has to kill him, even if that means that she won’t find out who killed her father… at least at this point.

These scenes perfectly demonstrate the danger of losing a secret identity… and therefore I need to post about it.

These scenes are from episode 8 of Queen of Swords.

Scenes from a new Luchadora documentary – #2

Time for more scenes from the Luchadora documentary!

I made the English subs for the first part, as there is some important dialog.

The rest of the video doesn’t have much text, and it’s only some presentation of the female fighters, nothing you need to know to enjoy the scenes.

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

Yeah, some nice scenes for me! I like how she tries on the new mask.

Perhaps I should become a mask designer 😆

Again, she doesn’t show her face to the audience, quite exciting that she wants to hide her face like that.

I like the fight scenes in slow motion with the music, really well done!.

I guess the aspect that one of them is transported to the hospital was real, but hard to say… perhaps it was staged as well.

I included the two additional short scenes to show the fighter with the full face mask, sadly she is only in the movie for these seconds.

The end scene with the bloody unmasked fighter presenting the mask was a nice way to end the movie 😉

The unmasking wasn’t shown sadly…

Scenes from a new Luchadora documentary – #1

Today I wanna present some scenes from a documentary!

Well, that doesn’t sound too interesting and sexy…

Indeed, but this documentary has a LOT to offer when it comes to masked women!

Including some unmasking action and interesting dialogues about why some of these fighters a wearing masks and so on.

The documentary was aired on German TV this week. It has Spanish language and German subs.

To present it here I translated the important parts and embedded English subs in the video which took some time.

I don’t speak Spanish so I translated the German subs.

Hope you will enjoy it!

And here is the video:

About the documentary in general:

Well, there are very interesting parts and rather uninteresting ones.

The documentary follows 4 different women who all are Luchadoras and addresses the problematic social struggles in Mexico, where crime rates are very high, women are often murdered and a special macho culture is still pretty dominant (according to the documentary).

 

About the scenes in the video:

The part where she is at home and talking about why she is wearing a mask is already very intriguing to me.

Actually, she is always wearing one throughout the entire documentary (90 minutes)! That gives her a really mysterious aura, I like that!

I don’t know if all the fight was staged from the beginning to the end. Normally wrestling and Luchadora fights are mostly completely scripted… to my knowledge.

I want to believe that the ending here wasn’t scripted… but I just don’t know.

However, I love quite a LOT about it. Both get unmasked, sadly we only see one unmasking and only from behind.

But I love how she is covering her face all the time to prevent anyone from seeing her face, I admire that kind of effort 🙂

I don’t know if perhaps even the dialogues from one/some pretty loud spectators are scripted as well…but they are just great, it’s like someone with a fetish for masked women had written them 😉

Actually, I even got excited as I was writing the subtitles 😆

I really would like to see such a fight live in person one day.

And imagine a fight like that that isn’t scripted… oh man! 2 masked, hot ladies fighting against each other. The one who unmasks the other one first wins!

And then you could add some other mask types to the mix as well. Some rubber cowls for example… or full-face latex masks 😉

It seems that these female Luchadora masks go off rather easily in comparison to the male full-face masks that have even a lacing.

But they cover up the face quite well, so it’s certainly a mask type that I really like.

Catwoman unmasked by the police! ….and it’s not who you think ;-) – [Masks off #42]

Sorry, for not posting last weekend, but here is a mid-week post to make up for it.

Thanks to a nice member of the best unmasking forum in the world, I learned about a certain scene in a comic book.

And I have to say… it has become one of my favorite unmaskings in a comic book!

I think I knew most of the really good unmaskings by now, but this one has somehow slipped below my radar.

Let’s check it out:

Catwoman_Vikki
Shadow-Of-The-Bat-Annual-2-pg06
« of 7 »

Watch the pages before you go on!

Well, I love it! The fight with Batman is a nice start, always very sexy material, and the fact that he knocks her out….for just some seconds(?) to deliver her to the cops is quite unusual.

But well, after all, this is a very unusual storyline and many things are very different from the “normal” Batman world.

I love how he orders the cops to unmask her! Pure gold 🙂

A little odd that he leaves that to them, as I would have gladly done the job myself… if I would be Batman.

Of course, it would be nice to have the unmasking in more detail…in more panels…but ok.

However, the result is fantastic! Her mask yanked away to her forehead and the expression on her face…wow! She knows that she is screwed big time!

The cops and Batman now know who she is. They know who the famous cat burglar is and her career is pretty much over!

The big surprise here is that Catwoman is actually NOT Selina Kyle but Vikki Vale, and it makes it even better, especially when she is “interviewed” by Dr. Crane a few pages later on.

After she is injected with a truth serum she admits how she loves “the excitement, the danger, the fun” when she is Catwoman!

They should have added how much she loves to run around in that tight costume and mask and how much it turns her on 😉 . But that would have been too much for the censors 😆

A great fantasy to have a star reporter running around as Catwoman at night! A respected and famous member of society during the day and a wanted criminal at night, certainly a great mixture 🙂

And that makes the unmasking even better!

Of course, I would prefer her not to be handcuffed and to say something like “NO!” or “Not my mask!” or “Don’t you dare!”… but these are only small issues.

All in all, I am very happy to now know this “unmasking gem”.

A ninja heroine falls in love with a bad guy [Blog exclusive]

I made some posts about the Supah Ninjas TV show already, but I missed two interesting episodes with interesting scenes!

I made a highlight cut out of 2 episodes for you folks as the guy re-appears later on in the season.

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G1qt1EUG1v-5uZ2VHGL3TLG_YPxQrH2h/view?usp=sharing

Some good and some bad aspects here for me.

I like the ninja look that really disguises her perfectly. The early fight scene with him is really good! She unmasks him by hitting him and he compliments her on her eyes.

That she then decides to drop that mask in favor of that eye mask that covers perhaps 5% of her head…… is really annoying for me in two ways.

Not only does she give up the good disguise of her normal mask, she seemingly wants to show much more of her face to him incl. her blonde hair.

She tries much too hard to make more of an impression on him after he already made her a compliment for her eyes earlier on. He was already interested…..

So, she decides to basically unmask herself, even the “mask” is supposed to work as a disguise in the show. A classic trope with these tiny masks.

I really enjoy how they fight each other, I love the tension between them, it’s basically like Catwoman battling with Batman, only that here the man is the bad guy. (Ok, Catwoman is actually only “half-bad”).

The scene where he wants her to take off the mask but she refuses is very sexy for me, as I love such “mask-talk” scenes. Very sexy how he reaches for her mask and is about to kiss her at the same time. Sadly it’s only a dream…. with a funny ending 😆

What I really hate is that he then finds out who she is without unmasking her! That gives me major Batwoman TV show-flashes in a way…..

All that sexy build-up and then he just knows…. LAME!

How great would have been if they had continued to fight and he would have unmasked her as she struggled to keep her mask on.

And then with the ninja two-part mask…imagine him slowly yanking her mask down, pulling the headpiece off to fully reveal the woman underneath….

But ok, all in all, there is a lot of good aspects here for me.

The scenes can be found in episodes 2 and 9 of season 2 of Supah Ninjas.

Batgirl gassed by a villain and Batgirl gets into… close contact…. with Batman!

I have seen this one as it came out in …. mid-2016?! Damn, nearly 6 years ago already.

Somehow I didn’t make a post back then as it seemed very difficult for me as this movie has so many minutes of a certain masked heroine!

But, as with the Catwoman: Hunted movie I will focus on 2 selected scenes.

I certainly recommend you to watch the whole movie.

 

Preview, scene 1:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

WATCH the video before you continue! SPOILERS ahead!

Well, Batgirl was pretty lucky here! She managed to stay conscious long enough to lock herself “away”.

Otherwise, this guy could have done quite a lot to her….

However, I really like this peril scene as he uses that odd knockout gas that takes some time to work.

It’s also odd that he sprays that stuff in his own direction also, as his face is right next to hers… but it has not the slightest effect on him, even he was (less) exposed to it, but ok, no big aspect.

The way he presses himself onto her is quite…..sexual….I was surprised that they would have that scene in it.

Batgirl was also lucky that he didn’t go immediately for her mask as she was pretty helpless (picture 3).

But he missed the chance to unmask her…

 

And I got one more scene for you!

Preview, scene 2:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

WATCH the video before you continue! SPOILERS ahead!

Well, luckily I didn’t know about that scene before I watched this movie!

I was really surprised BIG time by this scene…I mean Batgirl having sex with Batman???!

I mean ok, the whole movie is rather for adults than for kids…but holy Batsex, I didn’t think I would ever see that!

Even they only show the …foreplay, but it’s crystal clear what happens/will happen.

Can only guess if Barbara (as Batgirl unmasked herself) has then sex with Batman or Bruce…

But well, I can’t blame them 😉

 

Two things were quite odd about this scene. First, it’s another example of how careless many masked heroes and heroines get when they are on rooftops.

She unmasks herself on that rooftop! Ok, perhaps there is no tall building nearby, but that is very risky! What if someone sees that through a binocular and sees how Batgirl yanks off her mask (and other things? Very dangerous for her secret identity! And why does she unmask herself in the first place? She could have sex with Batman or Bruce with her mask on.

Also, her mask/cowl seems to be connected to her cape as it comes off (way too easily) as she yanks her cape away. Some more frames of her cowl leaving her face would have been great!

It looks quite sloppy this way from the animators.

However, it’s a pretty great scene and was surely a big surprise as I watched that movie back then.

I will re-watch the movie in the next weeks.

Black Scorpion TV show – The best scenes from the best episodes – [Episode 17]

Ok, it is time for one last post about the legendary Black Scorpion TV show!

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

My 3 favorite episodes are already covered here by now.

This is is a little cheat, as the episode is actually not one of my favorites.

But…..it has a really good scene in it….so… I think it deserves a post.

Some pictures:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!

Never been a big fan of the Gangster Prankster, who is basically a cheap Joker.

He is neither funny or really threatening and his henchmen are just annoying.

But his giggling sidekick has a great idea here! So often Black Scorpion gets knocked out and the villains are just walking away from her.

Only very few were interested in unmasking her so, I love how his sidekick says “Take off her mask….”!

That’s a great idea! Many more villains should have that 😉

I love the thrill as his hand is reaching for her mask, even it is only a very quick scene, I love such attempted unmaskings!

Luckily for her Argyle interrupts him before he reaches her mask, even it was just holding him back for some seconds.

But before Prankster could reach for her mask again good old Steve appears!

Black Scorpion awakes just in time to kick his ass for the 244th time.

Oh Steve, you will never learn….or maybe you just like to get your ass kicked by her… 😉

Batwoman unmasked by the Riddler! [UPGRADE] + Batwoman news

In the very, very, very early days of this blog back in 2013 I made this post:

(…Don’t watch the video in that post yet!…)

https://maskripper.org/batwoman-unmasked-by-the-riddler

Well, luckily I have improved in some ways over all these years as there is nearly no text to it.

This absolutely great unmasking deserves an UPGRADE! A BIG one!

I wanna present the video in a longer version and in an HD version today.

Plus I wanna give it a big upgrade on the text part also.

So, let’s start with a preview:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

First of all, this is an early Batwoman version (Katrina Moldoff) before Kate Kane and Ryan Wilder appeared way later on.

I think her costume is overall ok, but I’m not a fan of that mask that is basically just a big version of an eye mask and doesn’t hide much.

But well, that was basically everything negative I have to say about that scene 😉

She fights really well and brings down the Riddler, but then she gets careless and lets her guard down.

I love how he uses this situation to his advantage and just goes for her mask, unlike so many other villains.

He knows how important her secret identity is to her, and he has seen the reporters, so he knows how devastating the effect of the unmasking would be.

The ripping sound as the mask gets yanked away from her face is awesome, even not 100% logical as it’s hard to say where that sound actually is coming from as it sounds as the fabric gets ripped. And her mask isn’t really attached to anything….as it seems.

But ok, not important as the sound is soo great 😉

Her reaction to it is great and she is really surprised and terrified by his move! Maybe that explains why she moves her head around and thereby is presenting her unmasked face to the reporters which makes the unmasking so much worse for her.

Even it would have been bad enough if “only” he would know, as he could use that knowledge against her.

He really enjoys the whole unmasking and how he defeated her completely with it. I wish many more villains would think like him! (#hallo TV show/movie writers)

And all that was completely improvised as he just saw her for the first time some minutes ago.

Also, a nice aspect as Batman comments the unmasking as a “dirty trick” from him.

The facts that the reporter immediately recognize her famous face and the newspaper with “Katrina exposed!” are additional bonuses!

So much to love about this scene!

Here is the IMDB link to that episode:

+ Some news on the Batwoman TV show:

Well, after a break of (nearly) 2 months the show is finally returning with new episodes the next Wednesday (9 PM on the CW), January 12.

It feels much longer to me and I am thrilled that there will be finally new episodes!

There will be 6 more episodes in this second half of season 3 (episodes 8-13).

Still, there has been no news about a possible season 4, but I bet there will be news on that VERY soon.

In the meantime the news arrived that the CW is actually up for sale:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/the-cw-for-sale-warnermedia-viacomcbs-1235070616/

Very hard to say what that would mean to Batwoman, the Arrowverse, and all the other shows on the CW.

So, I don’t know if a new owner would be good or bad news. First, that sale actually has to happen…

P.S.:

I switched most of the videos that were “unlisted” lately back to the “public” on Youtube since the Maskripper Youtube channel isn’t in danger anymore for now.

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

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!

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]

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…..

And here is the video:

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 😉

As promised another scene with the Nightwatchman today!

Robin is imprisoned and gets tortured by the bad guys, time for the Nightwatchman to save him!

Especially as the woman inside that costume is in love with Robin 😉

But Guy of Gisborne is determined to catch the masked vigilante and find out how actually is under these masks!

You have the choice….

HD/1080p quality, but with German audio:

Sorry, due to some technical difficulties 1080p+English isn’t available for this blog right now (just for this scene).

But I’m sure you can live with it well.

WATCH the video before you go on!

Well, that was a pretty close call for the Nightwatchman!

I love how he demands her to unmask herself! Luckily she won’t give up easily.

It’s great how the situation even gets more dangerous for her as the Sheriff sneaks up on her and holding his pretty big dagger to her throat. His diabolical smile…. is awesome!

Now she is really in big danger, every second a hand could reach for her masks and begin to UNMASK her.

I just love the tension in such scenes….really well done here!

In my version, a hand would actually start to yank on her mask but she would then escape the danger quickly.

I do have one more scene with the Nightwatchman…..and that is the best one, you might imagine why 😉

Wanna know from which episode this is?
