This is another classic that deserved an UPGRADE, and now it’s finally time!
We have a classic “female scuba diver gets trapped in net” scene 🙂
Preview:
Our frogwoman….
….trapped!
….and desperate….

And here is the video:
–
Initially, I planned on releasing a 10-minute long cut with subtitles. But for some reason, the subtitles didn’t show up in the final file.
So I decided to put up the shorter peril cut as the main video.
You will find the longer video below (without the subtitles).
But back to the scene:
A classic, cliche “frogwoman clumsily dives into a net with very little air left” scenario.
The breathing sounds are pretty loud and done quite well, I am pretty sure they recorded them afterward and included them in the movie.
A pretty sexy result…in my opinion.
She was initially diving with a guy (which you can see in the longer cut) and they both screwed it up in my opinion. He got on the boat again without waiting for her… and she just stopped and decided to go diving on her own. And for some reason she didn’t have a knife… which could have been quite useful here 😉
Even she most likely would have lost it in this cliche scenario… while trying to escape.
Her scuba gear is ok, but I rather hate these old inflatable vests as they totally obscure the … view…
–
Here is the much longer version of the scene with before and after surface shots (not on my public Youtube channel):
In case you don’t speak Dutch … he basically blames her and tells her all the mistakes she made underwater. Nothing of big interest.
–
In the mid of next week, I will make a post about a very unusual scuba fight from the same TV show.
Sadly without women… but a very interesting scuba fight nonetheless.
You won’t see any women in the video of this post.
So, why do I make a post about it?
I think this scene is a great “template” for a scuba fight with sexy female divers!
Check out the video, I’m very sure you will find it interesting….
I was browsing through some old footage that I had recorded a long time ago and stumbled on this scene.
And I managed to make a video file in good quality for you folks and myself.
Preview:
Just an ordinary day for Mannix. Cruising around in a boat…
…getting attacked by frogmen in black rubber, who…
…want to drown him!
He doesn’t want to drown though… 😉

–
And here is the video:
–
Well, now imagine that these divers would wear the same outfits…but… would actually be sexy frogWOmen!
They try to drown him and he fights back, struggling with the sexy rubberwomen underwater… 😉
Or imagine Mannix to be a female detective… whatever you like best.
The scuba gear is near perfection for me here. The black rubber wetsuit in combination with hoods and double hose regulators were always my favorite since …a certain movie 😉
And it would be so awesome to have sexy, evil frogwomen in such a scuba fight!
–
Ok, back to the scene:
Well, these two really screw up big time! They are two against one. They have a complete set of scuba gear, he has nothing at all, but manages to win the fight.
I guess they wanted to make it look like he drowned, otherwise they could have used their knives…. or they underestimated him.
However, it’s not so easy to pull down a buoyant body down, even they are two.
But they fail to control him so he can temporarily “throw” one frogman out of the fight and is able to fight against one.
I love how he rips off the complete hose from the first stage. Hard to say how realistic that is…. but I think it is possible…perhaps.
And he actually rips it off the intake port, which is on the right side of the tank/first stage. Air is streaming out of it….
Then they actually cheat as suddenly the hose is ripped off from the left side of the tank/first stage. Obviously, the air is free-flowing and the diver is losing air, but with this trick, he still can breathe, so the stunt diver is quite safe.
Seemingly the diver in the scene then immediately drowns, which is quite odd as he isn’t out of air for long and Mannix was underwater longer without air. He is never seen again afterward.
The second diver then finally grabs his knife to kill Mannix, but well… he loses the struggle with Mannix and also his knife to him.
–
All in all, I really like this scene as it’s a great template if you have a little fantasy…. 😉
P.S.: The same two divers actually kidnap a woman from a boat and force a scuba tank on her earlier in the episode!
But….tragically…. that story gets only told….not shown on the screen! DAMN IT!
Shortly after I realized that there was a better video quality available (720×480) and I re-watched the movie yesterday.
So, I will make a BIG UPGRADE to the old post:
— better video quality and a longer cut of the scuba highlight of the movie
— a 2nd video just for the blog, not for my (public) Youtube channel
— a proper text for this interesting movie
Preview, main scene:
The women….
…and the crazy guy…
…who likes to sink women in lakes…
Our frogwoman to the rescue!
She faces…
…the crazy guy! Trouble!

Here is the video:

This movie is quite interesting and has unusual dark humor.
Ok, let’s start with some negative aspects before we come to the good ones.
The underwater scene is scripted quite odd in some places.
The female diver, who is not a cop, but works as a movie prop master with the other blonde guy…. is the one here who puts herself in danger to save lives.
She cuts one woman loose and then gets attacked by the villain.
Meanwhile, the cop is above her and doesn’t help her. Yeah, he gives his regulator to the freed woman but doesn’t attack the villain.
But the “good” divers more or less ignore the other woman (red blouse) and she drowns because of that. They could have saved her (most likely) if they would have worked together.
But well, the movie itself ignores her at that point completely as well as she isn’t shown 😆
Two more (odd) things I noticed:
Surprisingly they incl. an underwater upskirt shot here as the producer sinks down with her skirt and pantyhose …. #odd #rare
If you look closely at the face of the freed woman in 2:57, you can see the marks of a scuba mask. Well, she wasn’t wearing one in the movie… but seemingly in the preparation of this shot.
I really like how the frogwoman here dives down quickly and decisively to save these women.
She manages to cut one loose and also ties the bad guy to the weight. Good job!
But what does she do next? She let the bad guy take her out of the action by letting him flood her mask and rip her regulator out!
How does that happen? She has all the advantages she can have. She has a wetsuit, a scuba mask, a scuba tank, and a knife!
He has nothing, can’t see much without a mask…. but manages to overpower her.
But then both are failing…. in a way.
He should have secured that regulator to be able to breathe…or at least try to do that. Her regulator was his one chance to survive here.
Ok, she was (seemingly) surprised by her flooded mask and regulator.
But she should have been able to put the regulator back in and clear her mask as soon she was away from him.
Ok, maybe she doesn’t have much experience and was shocked….but why does she stay on the surface then?
I don’t get why she stays there and doesn’t try to save the other woman….
However, it’s a really fine peril scene nonetheless!
A very rare setting with that insane guy and his drowning fetish.
In my version, he would attack scuba divers underwater and there would be some nice long scuba fights in the movie 😉
You now think that he actually drowned there very calmly?
Spoiler title
Well, at the end of the movie it gets revealed that he is actually still alive! Don’t have the slightest clue how the hell he did that as good guys stayed there for quite a while.
—
But I wanna share another scene from the movie.
In this earlier scene, he does make his first attempt to drown the female lead….
Preview, scene 2 (earlier in the movie):
Posing for the camera!
Well…. the creppy underwater “garden” of the villain
They wanna fool the villain!

Here is the video:
–
Good to have some more short scenes with our frogwoman in this one!
It’s quite odd that the bad guy drops his victim right on top of three scuba divers…
I mean, their boat must be close by and he should see and hear all those bubbles that they make.
But ok, maybe he was so blind (and deaf) as he was occupied with her….
The poor female lead is quite shocked by what she sees underwater….understandably.
The oldest corpse looks a little too “fake” and seemingly he killed all the others in a very short amount of time as they still look very “fresh”.
I like the plan as they try to fool him with that crafted corpse to get him on camera (as he visits them daily), even though that plan doesn’t work out and he can escape.
There are some more diving snippets with the villain but without any female divers.
There is actually a sequel to this movie.
I watched it very long ago and am 99,9% sure there are no female scuba scenes in that one, but I will check that.
(had problems with these scenes on Youtube in the past)
–
Watch the video before you continue!
So, you might guess why this one is a classic for me 😉
So, we have two beautiful women in nice vintage scuba gear! Ok, the BCD vests are kind of uncool…but at least they are only on the back.
The scuba fight is done pretty well, a nice struggle, she is occupied with controlling his knife hand as it’s the greatest threat to her.
They roll around nicely and finally, he manages to get his knife into position and slice her live-giving air hose!
It seems like they recorded the sound from her escaping air in a studio or so. Not 100% sure.
However, it sounds as sexy to me as it looks!
Lucky for her, he ….seemingly….. “just” wants to scare her off for the moment as he immediately swims away instead of holding her back at that depth.
Ok, hard to say in which depths they were… If they were deep enough he might have thought that she wouldn’t make it to the surface or wouldn’t survive an emergency ascend.
Also, the other Angel is there to rescue her by starting buddy breathing with her.
The sight of a sliced air hose spewing bubbles is quite something for me! 🙂
All in all, a very good scene that now finally gets into my Hall of Fame.
The end of the episode is also nice, as they look great with just their wetsuits on! Plus the nice Navy helicopter that reminds me of a certain movie with “some” scuba content 😉
–
But there is one more very interesting scuba scene in this episode!
This time three frogwomen are underwater and the bad guy is there again.
A good scene, but it seems a little….”lackluster” in the end.
One of them is charging him like a bull, and that without a scuba knife! (Why do the Angels haven’t got any knives?)
A very brave attack!
But then the two others join and the action gets very, very tame. They move slowly and a little “random”.
That scene could have used a better directing/script. It seems like they don’t fully know what to do here and there…..
The other two should have had a little more energy.
In my version, the frogwoman in yellow would fight with him.
The others would attack from behind and one would rip off his scuba mask and one would yank out his regulator.
But ok, in this version they have to escape the blast radius and he is staying back to get blown up 😉
I will watch the full episode today to get the full backstory behind it.
This scene is special as 3 frogwomen are fighting against one frogman, even though it’s a short and tame struggle. Quite unique nonetheless…I would say.
….and I wanna make a new post about it as this one deserves a proper post with proper text!
And by making a new post I wanna present that scene/the movie to all folks who don’t know the original post from 2013.
–
This one is very special to me, and I wanna explain why, but first, check out some preview pictures and the video.
Preview:
Our villainess….
…is getting ready….
…for action!
The film crew in action!
That wasn’t supposed to happen!
The villainess in action!

And here is the video:
–
Ok, some backstory first.
The woman who walks into the lake is playing an actress in a movie…in the movie. She is the leading lady.
The villainess already killed off some folks throughout the movie with various methods (drowning (no UW footage), bow and arrow, etc.).
So, at the very beginning, you can see the safety diver who was supposed to look out for the actress in the lake has already been murdered (wasn’t shown in the movie).
She has the same type of wetsuit as he does, she is well-prepared.
And damn, I just love her wetsuit, she looks great in that smooth skin wetsuit 🙂
The way the camera moves higher on her body and she puts on her scuba mask….well done!
What is funny is the fact that her first stage is on the wrong side, her left side….and so the regulator is also wrong as it is upside-down in her mouth (the exhale on top).
Seems like the filming crew here didn’t know much about scuba diving 😉
Later on, as she is underwater the mistake is corrected.
The “good” woman is wearing a wetsuit and scuba socks under her coat they don’t bother hiding it especially as she is out of the water again in the end. But I guess she was wearing that for the filming of that scene of the movie that they shot inside this movie…..quite confusing 😆
Underwater, there are two main problems for me.
The visibility is quite bad and I guess therefore the camera is very close to the two women, too close sometimes.
But I love the breathing sounds of the villainess and the fact that the other woman fights back, she isn’t totally passive like other women in other movies.
Several times she tries to steal the regulator of the villainess….. so great!
The villainess “only” needs to keep her underwater, even though that would be pretty difficult in reality, as the other woman has no weights on her and is even wearing a wetsuit!
I think it would be hard to keep her from surfacing, but okay, it’s only a small issue.
It’s also a little off that the guy immediately finds the two in a murky lake and without a scuba mask. Yeah, there are bubbles from the regulator of the villainess, but I think it would be really difficult to find them quickly. Especially without a scuba mask.
It’s a shame that the detective was already in scuba gear and disturbs the villainess.
A shame that the villainess here wasn’t able to put up more of a fight. Quickly he yanks down her mask hard and thereby also removes her regulator. With one swift move, she is finished.
Seemingly he quickly yanks down her scuba hood as soon they hit the surface because her hood is already down as the camera shows her.
I love the way she looks as they drag her away in her gorgeous scuba outfit!
And the whole idea of having this villainess putting on that scuba gear to sneakily kill a woman in a film shooting is just brilliant and quite ….sexy….for me.
I mean it’s incredibly rare to have a frogwoman who tries to kill someone. Especially in such a sexy wetsuit!
This villainess here is one of my favorite villainesses of all time.
And even though the scuba scene has quite some flaws, I will make an entry in the Hall of Fame, where you already can find a special “wetsuit cut” video of this scene!
Would have loved to see how she would have escaped from the lake in her wetsuit…
The picture quality of that video back then and the screens looked like VHS quality or so…. really bad.
Time to have an HD version!
Thanks to the nice guy who knew the episode number of this one 🙂
Preview:
She spots a diver….
….in danger!
There he is….
….what is he up to?

And here is the video:
–
Watch the video before you continue!
Yeah, I know…no female scuba diver in this one. But still a very interesting scene in my opinion!
From what I know of the episode this guy was hired to kill her. And his plan is quite sinister!
Faking an emergency and then waiting for her to swim to him and then attack her by surprise.
He has all the advantages, a scuba mask and scuba tank…..and I guess he would have been successful if not the guy did show up.
What is a little odd here is her behavior, it’s very passive for the most part. Only just before the guy arrives to save her she goes on the attack.
But she doesn’t manage to get his regulator or rip off his mask. Her hands are free and touching his head just before her rescuer shows up. What was she doing there?
I don’t think that was in the script, I guess they rather thought no one would notice 😉
However, a very sexy scene with a very attractive woman!
I guess in my version he would rather lure a female scuba diver into his trap….but that would be even harder to arrange…. as long as he has a special target.
–
The whole scene could be better without the guy at her house as that slows down the action big time.
For you folks, I made a special cut with all the important scenes!
Here is the blog-exclusive video that isn’t on my (public) Youtube channel:
As I am re-uploading all the videos onto the new Frogwoman Org Youtube channel I stumbled upon some videos that certainly deserve an UPGRADE.
In many cases, there is now a better picture quality available, and also back in the early days of the blog, I wrote only very little in my blog posts.
So, along with providing a video with better quality I also wanna provide a much longer text like the ones I write in recent years.
This scene is an absolute classic if you are interested in scuba fights. The picture quality of the video I present here is now a little better.
This is my old post back from 2014 about the scene:
Certainly a really good scuba fight/peril scene even it has quite some flaws for me.
The scene where he attacks her is quite odd. He appears right in front of her and seemingly she didn’t see him before?!? I mean perhaps he was hiding but you see the bubbles of a diver, especially when he is in front of you.
Check out how she reacts to his attack, both her arms go for his right arm that is wielding the knife. Yeah, the knife is a big thread but his other arm is thereby completely free and he can rip off her mask without any struggle. Also, it seems like she is using only one of her arms after his initial attack….quite odd. Normally a diver should use both hands to attack or block the other diver’s hands so that you can control them. But ok, she certainly was surprised by him….
She is very, very, very passive in the whole scene. Yeah, he (seemingly) surprised her but she didn’t even try to rip away his mask or regulator, would have been great if she did!
What is bothering me here the most is her reaction after he ripped away her mask and regulator.
She doesn’t try to get her regulator back or is attacking him to get his regulator. She just tries to get to the surface….
But even if that would be successful, he would still be there and could attack her again with him being totally in advantage with his knife and scuba mask.
And is badly scripted how calmy she is trying to get away from him and to the surface. She almost looks bored in the video! 😆
She should be in a panic right now!
I mean he attacked her underwater!
She is about to drown!!!
But she looks like she is watching a documentary about the different shades of white paint 😉
But ok, enough of that. This one is one of the very few scenes where a female scuba diver gets attacked and drowned in a movie or TV show.
And despite its flaws, it’s quite thrilling and sexy as a (fictional) scene!
Maybe I’m imagining things but as the evil guy dives away there is a suspicious bulge on his wetsuit….. I guess the actor/stunt diver did enjoy the scene 😉

In case you don’t know the title/episode of the TV show:
