Frogwoman VS 5 male divers! [aka How to totally ruin a great setting]

by

A nice guy recommended me a movie:

“…. and it involves one female diver against 4 male divers. The female diver also surfaces and fights men on a boat.”

Well, for a moment I was really thrilled! A female diver fights against 4 male divers??? Or even 5 if I’m counting right… Sounds great, sounds awesome!

But then I thought…. well, why don’t I know that scene after 900 years of searching for such scenes? And I got a really bad feeling…. 😉

Here is a preview:

Ready…
…for…
…underwater action!
Someone has a bad day…

And here is the video from hell:

–

Well….. OH MY GOD!!! Or rather… WTF!!!

Ok, you have a frogwoman heroine and several evil divers…. and they actually do fight underwater…. and THIS is the result of the filming?

ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

I’m not sure if I should laugh my ass off or break down in tears…. or both.

A perfect example of how to totally ruin potential great scenes 🙁

Some folks (not me) are complaining that the scuba battles in Thunderball are too long and “slow” as the water slows down the action.

I also remember that the director of the Thunderball remake “Never say never again” was also no fan of underwater fights.

So, perhaps the director of this “movie” thought about how he could make these fights more intense and with more speed (in his opinion).

And his solution was seemingly to just increase the playback speed… of many action scenes (even on land).

Well, the result is laughably bad… in my opinion… and totally ruins these scenes.

The murky water is also a problem and they seemingly had no underwater lights at all…

In the end, I can’t enjoy these underwater fights at all and am really annoyed afterward.

The wetsuit of the frogwoman is uninteresting and very loose… I guess so the actress/stunt woman could do her martial arts moves. Quite a turn-off.

I’m 99% sure that these scenes were partially cut, as we don’t see the first two frogmen get hit by the spear, but well…. cut or not cut… all hope is lost here.

 

Oddly enough a german DVD of this “movie” is released in a few days for very little money, guess I will buy that one for the scuba collection as a perfect example on how to NOT do a scuba fight scene.

There are no more scuba scenes with her in this one.

A guy on a boat gets attacked by two frogmen in rubber [Imagine if…][Blog exclusive]

by

Ok, let’s start with the bad news:

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… 😉

(click to enlarge)

–

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!

A vintage frogwoman with a fake scuba tank gets attacked by a male diver! [Blog exclusive]

by

Time to finally post about this classic scene!

In the past, this was blocked immediately by Youtube (back in the early days of the blog) so I more or less forgot to make a post about it.

Here is a long cut of this scene in good video quality.

Preview:

There she is…
…our Frogwoman!
But a diver is there to….
….attack her!

Watch the video before you continue!

What I would give to have that scene in full colors…..

There are 4 seasons of this TV show. 3 of them were filmed in color. Sadly this is from the first season 🙁

However, I really love that scene despite some flaws!

Thankfully they had a female diver to play the role and didn’t use a male to play her action part as they often did in the 50s and 60s.

A really big minus point for me is how passive she is. But well, fits the time in which this was shot.

She basically does nothing. She doesn’t defend herself and she doesn’t attack him at any time! She did have quite some opportunities to attack him, but she is basically a Scubadoll in a rubber suit 😆

She just holds onto him while he is occupied with her tank harness, she could easily rip off his mask or rip out his regulator! Yes, she doesn’t have her scuba mask, but he is so close in front of her, that she should be able to see him well enough.

The fact that she doesn’t need her tank to breathe underwater is a minus point as well, but you can easily change that in your fantasy 😉

If I remember the backstory right she has the special ability to breathe underwater.

The bad guys are using her as a weapon to fight the submarine of the good guys. Her tank is actually an explosive device.

I love how the guy immediately goes for her mask to blind her (temporarily). He knows what he is doing.

It’s very rare to have an unmasked woman in such a scuba fight scene.

Her “unmasked” face looks quite sexy…

He has to get rid of her explosive “tank” and therefore he strips her of her scuba tank as well and thereby she also loses her regulator (that she needs in my fantasy).

The explosion hits her, and she is unconscious for the moment.

The naughty frogman takes ….advantage…. of that:

Damn, that stunt diver(?) really had a great time! I guess they had to repeat some of these scenes quite often 😆

I added the scene where she is unconscious and gets carried around in the submarine as that is quite sexy as well.

Again I played around with the simple tool to colorize one picture:

Yeah, not exactly a great result but at least better than the black and white version.

Pretty sure that is the Voit logo on his chest. Look like they used the same suits later on in Thunderball (different colors).

This episode actually aired earlier in the same year as Thunderball did (1965).

Charlies Angels – Female scuba diver gets attacked… [UPGRADE – Hall of Fame]

by

This was one of the earliest posts on this blog back in 2013:

https://frogwoman.org/charlies-angels-female-scuba-diver-gets-attacked

 

And today it’s time to make a proper post with a FULL HD UPGRADE and proper text!

This one is an absolute classic …in my opinion…. and I will tell you why, but let’s start with some pictures first.

Preview, Scene 1:

Time for some diving!
Scuba angels! (well, actually just one of them is an “angel”)
Evil plans on his mind…
Scuba fight!

And here is the video:

(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.

Time for a rematch!

Preview, scene 2:

He is back!
Someone is eager to meet him!
3 VS 1!

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.

IMDB says it’s episode 4 of that season, my info is episode 3….however the episode title of the IMDB link is 100% correct.

Black Widow – Female diver runs out of air! – [Hall of Fame – UPGRADE]

by

(….not the movie with Scarlett Johansson 😉 )

Time to make another UPGRADE post with one of the best scuba peril scenes!

The old one had an SD video with about 4 minutes and basically no text.

Now I wanna present you with an HD video with over 7 minutes and a proper text alongside it!

If you don’t know these scenes already…I do envy you!

Let’s start with some preview pictures:

The two learn how to scuba dive…
…and get ready for a dive!
Everything is fine….
…until….
…she doesn’t get air anymore!
What will happen?

(wasn’t welcome on Youtube in the past)

Damn, I love that scene! So thrilling, so sexy!

Actress Theresa Russell, here “Catharine, the villainess”, looks gorgeous. Those legs in that high-cut wetsuit top…. oh boy….

Even though, the damn BCD vests are annoying and are obscuring the view.

Debra Winger, here “Alexandra” does a great job here as well.

I love the moment where she realizes that she doesn’t get any air anymore (or very little) and desperately sucks on her regulator.

She checks her air supply, and the pressure gauge shows that she should have air left.

She should now check immediately for her buddy and then make an emergency ascend when she doesn’t see her.

She just grabs onto her mouthpiece and slowly ascends, but ok, she has no scuba experience… no wonder she behaves like that.

The struggle between the two is cut sometimes a little odd, but it’s very intense and very sexy for me.

I’m still not 100% sure if Alexandra pulls out her own regulator or if Catharine is yanking it out of Alexandra’s mouth.

Pretty sure it’s the latter, as we can see Catharine’s hand reaching for it, before the cut.

The moment as Alexandra is without her regulator and both are staring at each other…..is awesome! Her villainous eyes starring at her victim….

Catharine hesitates for a long moment before she finally gives her her regulator….. very interesting 😉

 

Some backstory for those who don’t know the movie (you should watch it):

Minor spoilers ahead!

Catharine has the habit of marrying rich guys who then mysteriously die under weird circumstances 😉

Alexandra works for the FBI and investigates.

The two become friends more or less.

Catharine finds out that Alexandra is working for the FBI…. before this scuba scene.

So, she manipulates Alexandra’s scuba gear (not shown) so she would run out of air before her pressure gauge would show that.

–

So, we can speculate a little on Catharine’s moves after Alexandra runs out of air.

I would say she tries to stop her from ascending as she wants to drown her to get rid of her.

Catharine then fights so that Alexandra can’t ascend. It’s hard to say how far they are down….perhaps Alexandra wouldn’t have a chance, hard to say.

In the magic moment as Alexandra is without her regulator I think Catharine is thinking about what to do.

I mean she is the one who still has air and Alexandra is about to drown quickly.

In my opinion, Alexandra has then a change of heart and gives Alexandra her life-giving regulator.

A decision that she might regret later on… 😉

After that Alexandra suspects that her scuba gear was manipulated….

One of my absolute favorites!

Great job by the sound department here as well. Love the sounds during the struggle 🙂

 

In my version, the finale of the movie would have been a scuba fight between the two…. a scuba fight to the death!

–

Here is a nice poster:

 

–

Here is the IMDB page of the movie:

IMDB-link

–

 

P.S.:

I don’t know how it was handled in the 80s, but nowadays two newly certified divers shouldn’t/wouldn’t go on a dive alone.

They would need an experienced diver on their side.

And they also should have been at the surface again with that kind of oxygen reserve…but ok…

–

A short anecdote about the first time I saw this movie:

I was on holiday on some Mediterranean island in the mid-’90s as a teenager and it was late and the TV in the hotel room was on.

You could see several German TV stations there.

And there I saw a trailer from a TV station for this movie several days before the airing.

And the scuba scene was shown there as well, ok, only bits of it….but these bits got me excited big time!

I couldn’t wait to see that movie…. back then, TV airings, cinemas, and VHS tapes were the only chance to see such scenes.

Farrah Fawcett fights for her life….in scuba gear! [UPGRADE]

by

Another UPGRADE post for you folks!

As I was checking the old post I also checked if there was a source with better video quality available….and yes, it was!

This one is from a widescreen HD TV airing, and it’s quite an improvement over the old one, even the recording itself wasn’t done in HD (why???).

And this time I include every second of her wearing that wetsuit/shorty.

Also, I wanna have a proper text included with this classic scene.

This is the old post:

https://frogwoman.org/farrah-fawcett-pulled-underwater-in-scuba-gear

 

Preview:

There she is….
…going on a dive!
She has special plans….
….snooping on that boat!
And hand on her regualtor! And not hers….
….in BIG trouble now!

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Quite a scene!

She was caught by surprise, her mask not in place yet, she gets pulled underwater.

Good timing by the sneaky attacker. She does manage to get the regulator on her mouth (it wasn’t as she still was on the boat).

But he is at a big advantage now as she doesn’t have a scuba mask anymore.

He goes for her regulator and steals it from her! As often in such scenes, she doesn’t try to get it back, which I always find a little odd.

The scene is cut quite weird with showing the grabbing hands of the attacker several times for example.

I read that the scene here where she is about to drown wasn’t acted as Farah Fawcett really inhaled water and was about to drown!

Of course, that wasn’t planned to happen, but as you can see, they decided to leave that scene in the movie.

It’s bad that it happened to her, that must have been quite a horrible experience!

But somehow I can understand why the scene was left in the movie…I mean no one would have gained anything if it wasn’t left in the movie.

This way it was a very realistic scene in this scuba attack….even it was way too realistic for Farrah Fawcett.

What happens with the attacker? Suddenly his scuba mask is gone and quickly he completely vanishes from the scene….

 

Another error in this scene:

She runs with her scuba tank to catch up to the others. Here a double hose regulator is attached to her tank.

Underwater she suddenly is using a single hose regulator….. #magic

 

All in all a good scene, even it could have been improved by a better cutting.

Farrah Fawcett looks really stunning in this shorty/wetsuit.

An actress gets attacked by an evil female scuba diver! [UPGRADE]

by

This was one of my earliest posts:

https://frogwoman.org/swimmer-gets-attacked-by-mysterious-female-diver

….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 for 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!

(click to enlarge)

–

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 already murdered (wasn’t shown in the movie).

She has the same type of wetsuit like 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).

Reminds me of the scuba scene with Claudine Auger in Thunderball, where the same mistake happened.

Seems like the filming crew here didn’t know much about scuba diving 😉

Later on, as she is underwater the mistake got corrected.

The “good” woman is wearing a wetsuit and scuba socks under her coat they don’t bother in 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 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 ok, only a small issue.

It’s also a little off that the guy does immediately find the two in a murky lake and that 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 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…

A scuba fight with 4 men and 1 woman! [UPGRADE]

by

Another video needed an UPGRADE big time as there is a good scuba fight in it!

This was the old post:

https://frogwoman.org/scuba-fight-with-4-men-and-1-woman

If you enlarge these pictures you see the poor quality….

–

And I also wanna provide proper text along with the video 😉

Preview:

There she is….
The guys…
….get attacked!
Frogwoman to the rescue!

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

I do have some mixed feelings with this one, but let’s start by providing some backstory and explanation!

The two good guys are searching for the radioactive container while two bad guys follow them.

In the fight, one of the bad guys rips off the mask of one of the good guys.

But luckily for him, our frogwoman arrives to save him as she rips out the regulator of the bad guy.

And seemingly the two bad guys now realize they are outnumbered by 2 to 3 and give up.

–

It’s quite odd that no spear guns or knives get used in the fight…. all hand-to-hand fighting and no one gets hurt as the bad guys give up easily and withdraw.

I would understand that ….if this would be a TV show for kids, but well…it isn’t.

What is a classic problem is that …basically… all the divers are wearing the same equipment in the same colors.

Yeah, the heroine has a blue-colored regulator, but one of her buddies has one as well.

And all are wearing black wetsuits….

I wonder what the guy or gal who was responsible for the scuba gear thought:

“Ah, well, let’s give them all black wetsuits and similar gear so they look almost the same! “

Odd….. very basic mistake!

However, I like the setting here where it is the frogwoman who saves the day by joining the fight. Somehow it’s like in Thunderball where Bond joined the fight and finished off so many SPECTRE divers.

Here the bad guys had already a big advantage as one of the good guys had lost his scuba mask….

And it’s quite rare to have a scene where a frogwoman pulls out the regulator of another diver. She is certainly a capable frogwoman! 🙂

There are some more scuba scenes in this episode but without frogwomen.
