Diver wants to drown his wife to get insurance money!

November 21, 2022November 13, 2022 by Siggi80

Not in real life in this case, but in a movie.

Thanks to the guy who recommended me this Chinese movie!

100% sure that I would have never seen this one without a recommendation as Chinese movies mostly are never shown outside of China.

Preview:

His hands are on her tank valve!

He attacks her!

Is she dead?

And here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!

I bet you are confused right now! 😉

Well, I was too… until the guy who recommended this one explained it to me.

I would love to watch the whole movie, but since I don’t speak Chinese, that doesn’t make sense.

I hardly doubt this movie will ever get subtitles or a dub.

The overall story is seemingly that he wants to drown his wife and then get the insurance money, claiming she died by accident.

But he then gets stuck in a time loop(!) and in one version he kills her again (version 2 in the video), perhaps in others too but it isn’t shown on screen.

In the end, he gets out of the time loop (as he doesn’t kill her in version 3 in the video)… and there seems to be a happy ending.

–

Now to the different versions:

Version 3 is interesting as the audience thinks he will turn off her air once again, but actually, he doesn’t do it this time.

Version 1 is shot quite weirdly as big parts of the action aren’t shown properly. It’s cut too fast and she drowns nearly instantly.

Version 2 is the most interesting and best for me. It’s shown how he turns off her air, and the struggle is a little longer. She fights back a little more, but still drowns very fast. Certainly, there is a lot of room for improvement, but it’s a good and thrilling scene for me.

The title is seemingly:

My original info was:

深潜

aka “Diving day”

aka “Deep diving day”

(according to the guy who recommended the movie to me)

What do you think of those scenes?

Frogwomen Ruby and Lucy in “Treasure hunt” [13th video of Project F – 2nd video shoot]

April 2, 2024October 14, 2022 by Siggi80

So, it’s time for the second video of the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”!

Also the video premiere of Frogwoman Ruby!

Sorry for the delay! Some logistical problems had to be solved first…

As I mentioned in the previous post the videos from that shoot will be pretty short, but action-packed as we tried some simple action scenarios.

Frogwomen Ruby and Lucy in “Treasure hunt”, 1080p, 60 frames, 2:57 minutes

Some preview pictures:

Video 13

+ a short teaser:

–

Background info:

This is the first video with Frogwoman Ruby in action! And she did a fine job without any prior scuba experience. She used to play underwater rugby in the past for a while and that may be the reason why she is pretty fearless and was a good match for Frogwoman Lucy. 🙂

She also had no problems

Spoiler title

with Lucy closing the air valve on her tank (we tested it once on the surface).

Sometimes it wasn’t easy for me to keep up with the two, as they made good use of the space they had in that deep pool as they swam at a pretty high pace.

At the beginning of the video (before the fight), you will notice

Spoiler title

blue bars over certain small areas of the screen (for about 20 seconds in total).

Sorry for that, but the frogwomen are visible all the time, so it’s not such a big issue. I had to do it since the security diver was visible in these parts of the video and …..well…. he wasn’t supposed to be visible 😉 A mistake that won’t happen again.

I was glad that I could use the stunning Cressi Triton suit this time and it looked great on Ruby. Perhaps I will buy that suit again in M or L.

I found it as a real bargain (in comparison to its normal price) in size S. But that suit is too small for most women …in this size…

For a test video that has basically no script, I am really happy with the result. It was a good test to see how the Frogwomen would handle such a fight scene and react to certain aspects.

Certainly wanna use that “fight over treasure” scenario in the future again, but then with a detailed script (incl. storyline), and a proper ending.

Fun facts:

Check out how Ruby is clearing her mask in the background as Lucy has found the gold coin.

The gold coin was a standard Greek coin (from before they got the Euro as well).

–

Editing:

I used some filters (10% more brightness in gamma and gain, text).

As I mentioned before the audio here was challenging with a sound the camera picked up from the pool machinery.

So far I haven’t figured out how to suppress that sound without damaging the “wanted” audio. But well, it isn’t really a big issue here as the 3 regulators here make a lot of noise so that background noise isn’t really distracting (as you can hear in the preview teaser video above).

Where to watch it?

It will be available again in the VIP club in June!

Here is a quick overview of the content of this month:

https://frogwoman.org/frogwoman-vip-club-2-0-april-2024

…get the video any time you want:

https://frogwoman.org/project-f-videos/project-f-video-packages

You can download these videos, but only for your personal use.

Don’t share them with anyone…. anywhere!

It’s pretty simple, I had to spend a lot of money:

All that scuba gear, location rent, and the money for the frogwomen….

If I don’t make enough money with these videos….. I won’t be able to make new videos at some point.

So…. I hope you appreciate these videos and want to see more in the future!

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

July 24, 2022 by Siggi80

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…

Preview:

Let’s dive!

Danger!

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.

A woman determined to dive with sharks

June 26, 2022 by Siggi80

First of all, I made a post on my other Blog Maskripper that you might find interesting as well 😉

It was a close call, but it does belong a little more on that blog.

A masked frogwoman infiltrates a ship! Check it out on Maskipper:

https://maskripper.org/the-masked-vigilante-frogwoman-in-action-blog-exclusive

————–

Now to a woman who really wants to dive with sharks!

The backstory is rather sad, but it’s a very interesting (short) movie and it has some nice scuba scenes in it.

Check out the storyline on the IMDB page if you like (see below).

This is a rather old recommendation I got some years back. Thanks! Now it’s time to post about it 😉

Preview:

Quite a beauty 🙂

And here is the video:

–

I made a cut with the first scene as she is having a flashback that is very sad and tragic.

I didn’t cut anything out of the scuba scene itself.

It’s rather a short scene so I only included it because of the perilous element.

The second scene is much more interesting for me.

Really great close-ups of her face. And a nice vintage-style mask, even though I don’t like that see-through material/color.

The scenes with the sharks and the beautiful music are really well done.

And it’s got to have a peaceful scuba scene with sharks here for a change, after all, that is 10 times more realistic than 99% of the shark movie scenes.

The freezing frogwoman VS the certified maniac

June 20, 2022June 13, 2022 by Siggi80

I know this movie since it came out in 2015 and got the UK DVD back then (for some reason it wasn’t released on Bluray?).

It was recommended to me at least 6 or 7 times since then but I didn’t make a post until today.

Why? Well, I was unsure about what to post about this movie. If I would post every scene that is somehow (scuba and/or wetsuit) interesting to this blog… I would have to post at least 70% of the movie…. as here the main actress is in a wetsuit for basically the whole movie(!) except for some flashbacks and…

Spoiler title

…the very first and last minutes of the movie.

So, I decided now to focus on the scuba part of the movie and cut out some minutes where the villain is just starring down at the ice for loooooooong.

What happened before the video scenes?

Well, basically the woman realized that her husband is a murderous psycho and he wants to kill her.

He is a scuba instructor and has special plans for her after he drugged and kidnapped her…

Preview:

The crazy guy has special plans….

….for our frogwoman!

How much air is left?

(click to enlarge)

–

Here is the video:

–

Watch the video before you continue!

Well, quite a sinister and crazy dude!

And that is just the part where she has her scuba tank… there is a lot more to come.

First, let’s start with some things I don’t like about this scene:

The whole aspect of how much air is in her tank is quite weird. Right before the video starts he empties her full tank from 3000 PSI down to 1000 PSI in a matter of seconds by sucking on the regulator and pushing the “air shower” (the translated german term) button on it. That would never ever work that fast. Plus why does he use the “air shower” button and has the regulator in his mouth? That wouldn’t work for long as someone can’t take in that much air. And it would take much longer than in the movie.

Plus the whole air pocket aspect. Is it possible that there is such a big air pocket on a lake under the ice? I mean the exhaled air from her tank would be there for sure, but that would be completely useless as this air is already “used. (*EDIT: My mistake)

In two takes the camera focuses on her depth instead of her gas gauge!

Well….why? I mean she is just under the ice the whole time and has only one way to go (up). The audience knows that, so why show it twice?

Perhaps, as the gauge is near zero… the movie makers confused it with the gas gauge?

Very odd….

And then the gas gauge very quickly goes from 1000 down to near zero in a matter of seconds! How is that possible? Or is that supposed to be a time-lapse?

However, there are a lot of positive aspects for me as well:

It’s quite a unique setting! I mean a guy who wants to drown a woman but puts a wetsuit and a scuba tank on her?

Certainly never seen that in any other movie….

The whole “running out of air” while the killer is just above her is very suspenseful!

The frogwoman is attractive and her wetsuit is quite nice. Of course, I would have preferred a black smooth skin wetsuit, but well, this way the heroine is very “flashy”.

And as the villain here is 100% evil and crazy… it’s a very intense survival scene…and that’s only the start for her.

–

About the whole movie:

There a very long takes of him just staring down at the ice. I mean the movie has only a length of about 70 minutes but it seems like they had to include a lot of overly long takes to even get to that length.

Plus his whole plan is kind of odd. I mean ok, he is crazy.

His whole plan for her is quite odd. I mean he certainly wants her to suffer before she dies.

He gives her a scuba tank but it is only one-third full.

So I guess he was “worried” that she might freeze to death before drowning? Even I can only guess how long someone could actually survive the ice-cold water, even with …an inappropriate… wetsuit on.

He gives her a wetsuit but that is only a little protection when the water temperature is around zero (celsius).

He straps the regulator to the back of the tank so she has to struggle a lot to even reach it.

Plus he is there on the ice but basically can’t see anything of her struggle, except some silhouettes and some air bubbles.

I guess he enjoys the whole situation big time, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come up with such a complicated scenario for her.

I am pretty sure that the screenwriter might have some aqua fetishes 😉

The flashbacks are interesting and important to the story, but too long for my taste and drag down the intensity a little.

I guess I will make a special cut of the whole movie where I cut out the flashbacks and overly long scenes of the villain doing nothing but starring for loooong takes.

But this movie is very much unique and very suspenseful, as I am cheering for her to find a way to get out of this horrible situation.

Yeah, this is a low-budget production and the acting isn’t always very good (especially the wooden villain) but certainly a very interesting scenario that you won’t find like this in any other movie.

Certainly, a movie that you should know and I can only recommend watching the whole thing!

Here are two posters of the movie (minus the title):

Very good motives in my opinion! Even the right one looks like bad CGI.

An intense scuba figth to the death! [Imagine if…][Blog exclusive]

May 31, 2022 by Siggi80

As promised I wanna show another scene from the same TV show as in the last post:

https://frogwoman.org/female-diver-gets-stuck-in-net-upgrade-post-longer-cut-better-quality

–

Out frogwoman who was stuck in the net in that post is in this video as well, but only short as this post isn’t really about her.

I just included her in the video so that you can see her again 😉

This post is rather from my “Imagine if…” series.

We have a pretty long and intense scuba fight with two frogmen. Damn, I wish there would be such a long scuba fight between two frogWOmen 😉

Check it out, I bet you will like it 😉

Preview:

Our frogwoman is sadly send to the surface

But we get an intense…

….scuba fight!

Here is the video:

–

Watch the video before you continue!

Wow, pretty much every way on how to kill an enemy diver is included in this fight…

They try to stab each other, strangle each other, a mask gets ripped off, kick each other, and try to kill the other one with rocks(!) and one tries to smash the other one’s head against rocks.

The scriptwriter was pretty creative for sure! Only a harpoon and a sliced air hose were missing 😉

And the way the good guy finishes the villain (actually Rutger Hauer!) is quite sinister.

I mean I never liked these inflatable vests, especially on frogwomen…. as they obscure the view, but is there no way to stop the inflation once the mechanism was “activated”?

Would like to know if such a “pull cord” had a safety mechanism or so…. I mean I can’t imagine that one unintentional pull on that thing would mean certain death if you are below a certain depth.

I mean, if an enemy diver can be killed with one pull on the inflation mechanism… it’s a very easy method.

Perhaps someone here can explain how these old inflatable vests worked and how “safe” they actually are. Seems like there were quite some potential risks with these vests.. at least regarding misuse.

Wanna know from which TV show this is?

IMDB lists 13 episodes, to my knowledge the show has 6 episodes!?!

Seemingly the show was televised with different long episodes/formats (my guess).

This scene is in episode 6 of 6.

Female diver gets stuck in net! [Upgrade post, longer cut + better quality]

June 20, 2022May 29, 2022 by Siggi80

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….

(click to enlarge)

–

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.

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

May 23, 2022May 22, 2022 by Siggi80

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…

(click to enlarge)

–

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.
