Damn, how MUCH I envy that guy! And the film crew….
Ok, I am not the biggest fan of the collars on their suits and the same goes for their bathing caps.
But besides that…they look …quite….AWESOME! These tight, wet rubber wetsuits are incredibly sexy for me.
Not to forget the stunning ladies inside these suits 😉
If I would be that guy….there would be a second tent on that camping site very quickly, and that one wouldn’t need to be assembled 😆
Don’t know how I would manage to stay in my role if I would be the actor. I mean you can maybe think about taxes and golf…and try to NOT watch in their direction, but that won’t work for long.
Of course, it would have been great to have these two in a scuba scene, no luck there.
Nevertheless, this scene is an absolute classic!
–
And as a little bonus (thanks to allmanzor!) here is a nice picture of them on set:
As you may/should know I am interested in all sorts of breathing gear. Especially when women are using it.
This blog is mainly about female scuba divers, but here and then I wanna post scenes with gas masks, oxygen masks, or scenes with female astronauts in action.
This one is a short one, but one of my favorite scenes in that genre!
Preview:
1st person view from her helmet!
There she is!
Can you spot the danger? 😉
She is in trouble!

And here is the video:
–
I included every second of her in that suit.
Watch the video before you continue!
Ok, let’s start with the bad aspects of the scene.
You can easily spot that her (plastic) helmet/visor is broken as she lays on the bottom.
After a cut, it is intact again. Seems like the prop helmet wasn’t very durable 😉
Then her air hose breaks free from the coupling (right word? – sorry, my English space gear vocabulary isn’t that good).
Ok, that might ….perhaps…. be somehow possible.
Another continuation error then is about the air hose. First, it lays flat, without tension, on the floor.
As she touches her visor and gasps for her the hose is ….”erect”…. as if it wasn’t made of rubber anymore (last picture above) 😉
Then she just plugs the hose back into the coupling. I hardly doubt that that might work as the coupling must be damaged as the hose broke out of it.
Also, the air hose should be under quite the pressure, so I don’t believe that it would work.
But anyhow, enough nagging for today.
–
There are many great aspects in this scene for me!
I love her breathing sounds as she walks around! And the first-person view from her helmet is a great addition, it’s very immersive….for me as I used to play some video games like that.
Then the short moment as her air escapes her suit/hose…. is just very sexy for me. I love how she gasps for her and realizes that she is in big trouble!
Her precious air is escaping quickly and she must repair that somehow very quickly in order to stay alive.
I like that she doesn’t panic and manages to stay calm. That saved her life in this scene.
She manages to plug the hose back in and her breathing slowly returns to normal.
Damn, I love peril scenes like that! And such a scene with a female astronaut in (oxygen) peril is verrrrry very rare….sadly.
Even though this scene is only short and has some flaws, it’s just very sexy for me.
I would love to see a scene where two female astronauts would fight against each other.
They wouldn’t have any fancy weapons and they simply would try to suffocate the opponent by ripping/cutting/damaging the air hose of the other one.
It would be a long struggle until one of them would finally get the upper hand.
Today I wanna post a full HD video with proper text for this sexy scene!

Our frogwoman in rubber
She spots….DANGER!
Where is the frogwoman in this picture? 😉
Back on surface!

And here is the video:
–
As you can see I made some cuts in the last part of the video. Well, I wanted to keep the length of the video to a certain size and besides that, she isn’t in these scenes that I cut out.
I recommend watching the whole movie if you like movies like Jaws. This one is pretty good and it has one GREAT feature for me: A fantastic score by grandmaster Ennio Morricone which really makes this movie stand out in comparison to others of this genre (+good actors).
Ok, back to this scene.
Her whole scuba gear is pretty close to perfection to me! This vintage wetsuit just looks awesome 🙂
Ok, I would prefer a vintage double hose regulator for her, but that classic single hose regulator is very nice as well.
From today’s point of view, it looks rather….odd, that she (who is a marine biologist) is hiding between the rocks as a shark approaches. But ok, a great white shark does look menacing, even he is not nearly as dangerous in reality as in the movies. But back in the old days nearly everyone thought that all sharks would be very dangerous, especially after Jaws.
However, it’s a thrilling scene to see her squeeze herself between these rocks.
It’s a fun scene later on as well, as the rough captain yells at the diver (he thought it was a man) and she then pulls back her hood to reveal her long hair.
Yeah, that sight of her in that wetsuit made him speechless for a moment.
Who could blame him? 😉
Charlotte Rampling did look pretty good back then. She was around 30 as the movie was shot, and that wetsuit is just very sexy.
In my version, she would hide from the shark as well but would damage her air hose as she would leave the rocks. Even that would be hard to do in a realistic fashion. Perhaps it got stuck there 😉
So, with the shark close by and her losing a lot of air…. you would have a little more thrill! 😉
Thanks to the nice guy who recommended me this one!
The whole movie is actually available on Youtube (for now) and I will give you the link later on, but first I wanna present my special cut of this scene, that you should watch first 😉
Here is a preview:
She is….overheating 😉
Time to get into…
…the water!
Defusing a mine!

And here is my special Frogwoman cut (every second of them included):
–
Well…….WTF?!
These scenes alone raise so many questions….
Well, hard to say why they are using these huge scuba tanks (even a double tank) in the first place as a snorkel might have done the job here as well as they don’t have to dive.
But ok, of course, I prefer them wearing scuba tanks.
And wow, never seen such a “red” face on a female scuba diver in a movie 😆
But I guess it was shot in the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico and running around on land with these temperatures, in such a wetsuit, while carrying those heavy tanks……
I guess this was really exhausting and they were sweating like hell in their suits.
Back to the scene: They are swimming to that mine with most likely the task to defuse it.
I don’t see them having any tools for that. I wonder how they are planning to defuse it? Or is there an ON/OFF switch on that thing? 😆
Ok, I admit, I didn’t see the whole movie as I don’t speak Spanish, and even if I would I wouldn’t do it from the scenes that I saw.
The underwater sounds sound very familiar, I think these are generic sound underwater effects and weren’t from this scene at all!
But well, the mine goes off for some reason and they are seemingly dead? No one could survive such an explosion close by.
One of them is shown twitching around underwater, as her body seems intact after the explosion of that huge sea-mine…. oh my….
Why this mine needed to be defused this quickly that they have to jump from the ship while being fired upon….I don’t know.
Perhaps someone can solve this and the other mysteries.
–
Here is the whole movie with the correct timing to jump into the insane action:
(not my upload….. hopefully, it will stay on Youtube)
–
Well…. again…..WTF?!?!
Isn’t that navy ship armed in any way? No small cannons, no AA guns, no machine guns, no nothing? Hard to believe… but they are only using their assault rifles to fire upon the bad guys.
Also, the navy guys and girls should be in a big advantage. They are on the big ship, can use cover there (what they are mostly not doing), are better equipped, and still have so many problems in fighting off some goons in their small boats?!?
What I don’t understand at all is….why are all these people just shacking their guns and pretending to fire upon each other???????
It looks like small kids would play with each other in kindergarten 😆
I mean, they used this ship, a helicopter, all these boats, had these rifles…… but then no money to buy some blanks???
This way the whole action looks ridiculous² …
This movie is mainly about a female squad of navy soldiers.
Back in 1990 as this movie was made, this was rather unusual.
So, is this movie perhaps feministic?
Well, quite the opposite in my opinion!
I mean most of them are portrayed rather incompetent (for example: the way they hold their rifles) and often are completely hysterical.
This is a rather horrible and sexist way to portray them. Well, Mexico in 1990…. I am not surprised. (wouldn’t be much different in most other countries at that time)
But enough of that, it works as an (unintentional) comedy for me…
The wetsuits are very nice, I wish there would be more and better footage of the frogwomen underwater.
What a missed chance….you have 2 navy frogwomen in sexy black wetsuits(!!!!) ….and then no enemy divers to fight against? DAMN!
….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…
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.
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:
