The female cliff diver and the evil scuba diver

by

This is kind of a cheat post in terms of female divers… but I think you will find it interesting!

Thanks a LOT to the guy who recommended me this movie.

There is also quite an even better male scuba peril/fight scene in it, maybe I will add that to the post as well in the next weeks.

Watch the video before you continue!

Damn, what I would give if we had the female cliff divers and (at least) one female diver!

But still, the scene is very interesting as the scuba fight is well done and quite long. 🙂

You might wanna know the background story behind this:

The naughty scuba killer killed her brother earlier in the movie and (obviously) wants to kill her as well.

This is a French TV movie, and I doubt there will be a dub or subs for this one. And my French from school isn’t good enough to watch the whole movie.

The police anticipated that move and set up a trap for the bad guy. The scuba diver with the blue wetsuit is the hero of the movie.

It’s quite strange that both divers were very close to her landing spot, but seemingly the bad guy didn’t notice the police diver before… which is odd as divers make a lot of bubbles (unless they use rebreathers).

But ok, that is basically my only complaint (besides the gender issue) with this scene.

The scuba fight is filmed well in my opinion, and it takes the detective quite some strength and time to disarm the evil diver that never had a real chance as there are also additional police divers at the scene to intervene.

The detective uses these huge twins tank in all his scuba scenes in the movie. Well, quite a BIG air supply! And he actually needed that earlier on 😉

Scuba villainess VS female police diver! [Scuba fight][Blog exclusive]

by

Thanks to the guy who recommended me this one!

The description of this scene sounds too good…

An evil female diver is sending top-secret info to a foreign government. A female detective is on her trail and we have the final showdown between those two in a scuba fight!

That sounds like a story that I would have written 😉

Let’s check out the scene and see if it can live up to the promise….

(EDIT October 17: Video was blocked…. had to move it)

–

Watch the video before you continue!

I wanted to show both in their wetsuits on dry land and build in short scenes with both of them prior to the underwater fight.

I cut out some surface scenes as they slow down the action.

 

A little confused by the video? (It helps to watch the scene several times)

Let me summarize the action:

The villainess is sending top-secret data via that computer thingy.

Meanwhile the “good guys” arrive on top and check out the boat of the villainess, the villainess knows that as she has cameras on board.

The villainess hides and waits for the detective to arrive.

Her knife attack fails and the detective yanks out her regulator.

She puts it back and attacks a second time with her knife.

The detective manages to close the air valve of the villainess who retreats then.

—

Hmh, let’s start with the positive aspects in my opinion:

We have some good moves like stealing a regulator and closing the tank valve. Plus there is a scuba knife involved, even if it is quite tiny.

Also some (weird) yanking on the strap(!) of a scuba mask. Very unusual, never seen that in a movie or TV show!

It’s good that they have some different colors on their scuba gear so you can tell who is who. Nothing I should mention as a positive aspect, but that isn’t something that can be taken for granted as some movies/TV shows demonstrate.

 

Now to the bad aspects…

The background music may be ok as long there is no action. But as the scuba fight starts the music doesn’t react at all to it, completely lame snooze music.

That is totally bizarre as the music is supposed to underline what is happening on screen. The music/sound department screwed up here big time 😆

You can actually see a safety diver/cameraman in the background several times during the underwater action…. that isn’t supposed to happen 😉

As the villainess attacks, the “good” diver has suddenly no regulator in her mouth but a tube of some sort!?! WTF?! (at 02:54)

The yanking on the strap of the scuba mask of the detective is a nice aspect, but why can’t she get her scuba mask off in the process? Come on, that is quite easy then.

The whole action is mostly quite weird as they don’t control each other’s arms but just hold onto each other for most of the time.

Their hands are free very often…they could easily go for the other one’s mask or regulator, but they don’t… they are holding back a lot.

It’s a little weird that the villainess gives up like that.

Yeah, her air was turned off, but that isn’t a problem since the detective isn’t following her.

She could easily turn it back on and attack again. But I guess she was demoralized after she lost twice times against her.

–

Well, if you take the description the actual video is a little disappointing if you consider all aspects.

But it certainly delivers a pretty long scuba fight between two frogwomen, so that is already a great thing! 🙂

Yeah, many things could be improved here… but is certainly is a remarkable scene.

After all, there aren’t exactly many female scuba fights to be found in movies.

–

Fun facts:

The villainess works for the “evil” Americans while the detective works for the “good” Chinese.

Looks like this Chinese TV show has some propaganda messages in this one 😉

Wanna know from which movies this is?

Don’t have an IMDB link since it is a Chinese TV show, but here is the title:

谍战深海 aka “Ocean espionage_spy war deep sea”

A female diver, a male diver, and a ring

by

Time for some scuba scenes from a fresh movie from 2022!

I put the 2 main scuba scenes in it, some more snippets are in it, but nothing of big interest.

I also added some surface footage …as she looks fine in her wetsuit.

Here is the video …for all who don’t live in the US, it was blocked by Youtube (only) there:

If you do live in the US, I placed the video for you here as well:

HG scuba scenes

Yeah, no real action, nothing spectacular, but I am happy about every new movie that actually does have scuba scenes in it… as there are only very few which have that.

She looks just fine in her wetsuit and the scuba gear is ok. Sadly there are no scuba action scenes in this one as it is a romantic comedy.

The story is rather simple, she loses her ring as she is doing some sort of yoga on a surfboard, a valuable heirloom.

He is the slightly strange, but handsome scuba teacher of the hotel, and they fall in love etc..

In my version, I would have added a scene where he would have heroically saved her as she becomes stuck underwater or something and nearly drowns 😉

That would still be fitting in such a genre movie.

Or I would actually gender swap the roles and the scuba teacher would be a woman, and she would get in trouble underwater…

A female diver and…..Aliens!

by

This is a scene from a classic, well known-movie. So far the scene wasn’t on my blog and I decided to change that.

In this scene, a female diver is doing some maintenance work as suddenly the power goes off.

She will have a very special experience….

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, very little in terms of action and peril, but the scene has other interesting aspects.

First of all, this is quite an amazing scene as she is meeting alien lifeforms who are ….unlike in most movies…. don’t attack her.

She is calm and doesn’t panic as she is seeing an unknown lifeform that has just sneaked up on her.

I really like the breathing sounds here in combination with the bubbles that leave her helmet.

The scuba gear here isn’t exactly so interesting as her helmet and wetsuit are rather far away from being sexy.

If I would make a “female diver encounters alien lifeform” scene, the alien would be very curious, and it would have more of a body.

It might try out how the oxygen supply of the diver would work and might start playing with it 😉

2 guys, a submarine, a female diver, and a lot of sharks! [Blog exclusive]

by

About one month ago I made a post about a certain movie:

Now it’s finally time to post about the long finale of this flick!

2 guys, a submarine, a female diver, and a lot of sharks! [Blog exclusive]

(not on Youtube since I had bad experiences with this one on that platform)

–

Ok, let’s start with the positive aspects here for a change.

She looks gorgeous, her FFM is quite nice and the scene is pretty long.

It’s cool that she rescues the guys here and also distracts the shark from the one guy.

In terms of scuba peril, there isn’t that much as the possibilities are quite limited in an action scene with a shark.

My sharks in my movie would rather be trained to bite into the air hoses…instead of eating the divers 😆

I mean when you go for weird sharks that behave so weird, you could easily do that scenario as well 😉

The negative aspects here are primarily for me the bad CGI and the roaring sounds that these sharks make. That is so laughable!

Sharks can’t make such noises and they are trying to surprise their prey… and such a roaring would be really not helpful 😉

I mean that is like making a movie with goats and they would just start to fly around.

But well, it’s a fantasy movie after all, so… with sharks behaving like that.

Also, quite odd that they attack the sub but then stop and let the divers swim around without attacking them… are they on a break? 😉

But all in all a solid scene in my opinion.

Female diver gets chased by male diver

by

This one is a classic that I know for a while but somehow didn’t upload.

By now a fine HD quality is available… so this scene finally makes it to this blog.

Let’s check out the scene!

Preview:

And here is the video:

–

You may already know what my problems with this scene are 😉

She looks great in her bikini, even though I would prefer a wetsuit.

It’s great to have him chasing her, but of course, I (and nearly everybody else) was looking forward to a nice scuba fight scene.

Yeah, that doesn’t happen 🙁

A shame she didn’t also have a knife and confronted him.

Many might say that it’s odd that she is able to outswim him as she manages to not only get away from him, there is quite some distance between them as she leaves the water.

But I can easily accept that a well-trained woman like her can outswim an average guy.

I don’t get why he waited so long to attack her and especially since he was drawing the knife as she was watching him. He wasted the moment of surprise.

I haven’t watched the whole episode (the 2nd part of a two-parter) and the scene on the boat quite confuses me.

She swims away from him just to go back onto their boat?

He throws the knife after her (deliberate miss?) and she is quite relaxed and didn’t even grab the knife that is next to her.

What happened? He was trying to kill her and she doesn’t seem to have a big problem with that!?

From what I saw the two really liked each other and he found out that she is actually a cop and has to kill her.

But well, seems like he isn’t so motivated to do that and she has no problem with him trying to kill her.

Quite odd……. maybe I will watch both episodes one day, but this way it’s all quite confusing!

 

However, we do have a hot frogwoman getting chased by another diver, which is still a rare thing….so, after all, I enjoy this scene, even though it has some flaws.

In my version, they would have fought underwater and only one would have returned to the surface. 😉

–

IMDB lists that 2-parter as one episode, which is quite confusing… after all, that episode would then be 90 minutes long.

Weekend post and VIP club news + Recomendation!

by

I am away over the weekend as I am leaving the country for a short vacation/city visit.

So, there won’t be a post on Sunday this week.

Also, the VIP club will get its monthly update, a little later than usual….on August 3!

That means the VIP club members will receive the password as well on August 3.

So, please be patient, it will come 😉

–

I will reply to emails of course, but only once or twice a day.

But I do have a recommendation for you folks!

My TV magazine recommended a documentary named “Waterwoman” some weeks ago which is currently still running on German TV.

 

I watched all 4 episodes and it was quite fascinating.

It’s about German freediving champion Anna von Boetticher who is holding several national records.

In these episodes, she is diving in Mexiko, Iceland, the Acores, and (under) Budapest…. and she is wearing smooth skin wetsuits while doing so 😉

Yeah, she isn’t exactly the youngest (52), but she looks great in these suits, is highly skilled and the episodes offer great pictures of beautiful underwater landscapes!

So I really recommend watching the episodes, even though there are some obstacles for folks outside Germany.

Yeah, the audio is German and the episodes are only available online here if you are in Germany:

But with a little trick, you might be able to travel to Germany realllllly fast! 😉

*EDIT* February 2024:

A second season is now available!

2 female scuba diver, a wreck, and a shark! [Blog exclusive]

by

Well, I guess you know what might happen in that video….

This one is from a movie I know for quite a while and that was recommended at least by 2 folks over the years.

I posted about the first movie of the movie series in two posts:

Post 1

Post 2

–

This movie will be featured in (at least) one future post as well.

In this early scene of the movie, two women dive together into a wreck. But some shark is quite hungry…

And here is the video:

–

Scenes from the first movie were blocked on Youtube back then and this is quite brutal (even you don’t see much) so I decided to post this one on Drive as well.

–

Well, for me the scene is ….ok. Some others may like it better than me… I guess.

The shark scenes where a real shark was filmed are good, the cheap prop they used for some closeups is really… cheap.

Yeah, I know the budget was small and CGI wasn’t really an option back in 2000…but the result just looks bad.

Also, the roaring sounds of the shark are just laughable! Reminds me of Tomb Raider 2 😉

What morons come up with such fantasy sounds?

The camera work during the attack is quite bad, most likely as they couldn’t show the prop shark for too long.

On the plus side, the dive equipment is solid and there are some intense perilous moments as the divers are quite “loud”.

Ok, for me that kind of peril isn’t exciting at all… but well, others may see that differently.

Also, I wonder why they didn’t have at least one or two minutes with these women on the surface with some dialogue lines.

I mean she gets chomped by that shark and we know nothing about her and didn’t hear one word from her. That way the audience doesn’t care too much about her.

–

The next scene that I will present in a future post is more interesting… at least for me.

The evil frogwoman strikes yet again…. in a DIFFERENT TV show! [2 scenes]

by

Hah, slightly confused by that title? 😉

This is a very interesting case and I’m sure you will find it very interesting!

This time without preview pictures as the post contains 4 videos (2 of them new to this blog).

THANKS a lot to the guy who mentioned that episode of this show. I am quite surprised I didn’t hear about it earlier.

 

Remember this epic scene?

This was my post from 2013:

https://frogwoman.org/the-frogwoman-strikes-again

–

Now check out this scene, which can be found in another TV show made 4 years later:

–

Hmh, somehow it looks quite similar….even there are no underwater shots in this one and she makes it to the ladder before she gets drowned.

The attacker is basically not shown here except for the hand in rubber that grabs onto her ankle.

It’s rather odd that the evil frogwoman is able to pull her down with ONE arm while she has to fight her own buoyancy.

I mean the other woman has a solid stand on the ladder and is holding onto it with both arms.

Guess the evil frogwoman has exercised a lot 😉

 

But this was only the beginning….. 😉

–

Remember the ultimate highlight of that TV episode with the evil frogwoman?

My original post from back then:

https://frogwoman.org/female-divers-attacks-man-pulling-lake-quality-upgrade-longer-cut

–

Now check out this scene, which can also be found in that TV show made 4 years later:

–

Well…. quite odd! They re-used the complete underwater footage here!!!

The scenario is exactly the same. The detective (Ben Gazzara!) wants to meet with a woman only to be attacked by a mysterious frogwoman in rubber!

But there are some differences (despite the different actors):

Here we actually see some very short scenes of the evil frogwoman above the water.

In the original, they fight underwater and suddenly….cut….and he is in a hospital. One of the worst cuts in the history of humankind! ARGHHHHH!

In this “remake” we see him pulling the obviously defeated frogwoman to the shore, with her mouthpiece in his hand!

But then…. I start yelling at the screen! AGAIN, they don’t show the villainess anymore except for some seconds where she is already covered in a blanket.

How bizarre is that? Why have they shown only so little of her??? I would have loved to see the defeated frogwoman in her wet rubber suit on the surface! Just add a dialogue there and show her!

The murderer is finally caught and she just vanishes without saying a word!

DAMN! Really frustrates me big time! That and that the moment of him overpowering her underwater isn’t shown properly.

However the flaws, that ending… in both versions…. in one of my all-time favorites!

It’s such a unique scenario. An evil frogwoman in rubber who wants to drown a guy in this scene ….and already did drown a woman earlier in the episode!

How often do you get that in a TV show or movie? Spoiler-Alert….Basically NEVER! 😉

Ok, it’s hard to say if the diver who actually did the diving during filming is actually a woman….since the underwater picture is rather dark… or if they used a male diver to double for the villainess.

However it is supposed to be a woman, that is 100% clear.

–

So, why the same scenario and the same underwater footage?

These episodes are from different TV shows but are basically identical as the script is nearly a copy (some slight changes).

With some quick research, I found out that both TV shows were made by the same company (Roncom Films) for the same network (NBC).

The earlier show is from 1964 and the “remake” is from 1968.

So they “just” re-used footage that they shoot some years earlier.

Quite bizarre that they just remade an entire episode just some years later in a different TV show.

Don’t know why they did it, perhaps they were just lazy and recycled the script 😆

–

In the original, the villainess is the secretary of the guy who was in love with the drowned woman from the beginning of the episode.

Here is a picture of the villainous redhead from the original (Fiona Volpe vibes):

Really a shame she wasn’t shown on the surface in her rubbery frogwoman suit. 🙁

In the remake, she is his personal physical therapist (and less attractive)…but that is already one of the biggest changes from the original to the remake.

–

I guess you might wanna know now from which TV show that remake is?

(IMDB says episode 22, my file says 23… look for the title of the episode)
