A weird scuba lesson in a crap movie

by

[1st post for today]

I don’t use the word “crap” very often around movies. But here, it does fit really well!

Stumbled upon this one by chance as I saw the movie poster and the title.

Both were kind of promising, so I checked it out.

Well, the good news is the movie does have a scuba scene….the bad news is…well, see for yourself:

And here is the video:

Ok, where to start?

What the hell is going on in this scene?

It starts as a rather normal scuba lesson, but things go really sideways….

Ok, she gets some kind of panic attack as she is thinking about some shark attack (nice plastic shark).

But the way she behaves is so weird and unlogical.

She could easily just stand up and surface as she is in very shallow water. Problem solved!

By the way: Where is the scuba instructor? Has he gone to lunch and left her alone with the scuba gear in the pool? Oh man, completely crazy and irresponsible as hell!

But what does she do instead of surfacing?

She rips off her scuba mask….ok, why? She seems to have problems with having water in her nose…so ripping off the mask wasn’t helping 😉

Then she spits out her regulator. Ok, well, now she sees nearly nothing and has no air while being in very shallow water….. well…..

What is going on? Seems like she has a death wish or is crazy.

Then the good guy comes to her help and “saves” her. Oh boy…

And by the way²: Why is she wearing shorts over her bathing suit? But ok, that is one of the less weird things here…..

–

Hilariously and/or sadly this is actually the only scuba scene and also the only scene with real underwater footage.

You barely see any shark in the whole movie which is quite funny if you know the movie title.

These days I don’t give much about IMDB ratings anymore, but the 1.6 is well deserved 😉

The female diver and the rubber monster! [original Flipper TV show – HD]

by

For today I have a short video with some nice scenes from 1964!

One year before the best scuba movie ever came out.

In this episode of the original Flipper TV show, a horror movie with an underwater monster is filmed.

And to no surprise, the monster is after a sexy female scuba diver….. 😉

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, of course, it is all staged, and only a guy in a monster rubber suit….but still….I like these scenes, especially as it is very nice to see such vintage TV scenes in HD.

A wetsuit would actually be sexier for me, but well, she doesn’t look bad in that bathing suit either. Imagine her in a black SPECTRE wetsuit with a double hose regulator….the monster yanking at her air hose….

There are more underwater scenes in that episode but not with the female diver.

The Deep House [scuba movie – review]

by

Earlier this year in May I made two posts about a new scuba movie:

https://frogwoman.org/the-deep-house-a-new-and-very-promising-scuba-horror-flick

https://frogwoman.org/the-deep-house-the-trailer-is-out

–

And I even heard about it much earlier in the year.

Now I was finally able to watch the movie!

Making a post about it as I usually do, would be quite impossible.

In the post, I will post some minor to average spoilers but NO big spoilers about the ending.

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

Normally I post basically all the scuba scenes from a movie as they normally have only one or two.

In this case, that won’t work. Ok, I could post the highlight scenes of it….but I decided against that, at least for now.

If you are interested in scuba, scuba action, scuba peril….then this movie is a MUST-see for you!

The movie has an introduction of about 20 minutes, and then the whole rest of the movie is set underwater!

As the movie has a total runtime of about 80 minutes….well….yeah….this movie has 60 minutes of scuba diving in it!

Thereby the movie practically shows their dive in real-time!

That is why I can only recommend watching the WHOLE movie instead of some snippets.

–

Now to the movie, is it worth the time and money?

Well, I certainly think it is! 😉

The storyline is simple, a couple is filming themselves as they enter haunted houses, cool places, and such things and upload these videos for the followers.

They heard of a lake that isn’t on any map and that there would be a house in that lake in great condition.

So, they decide to dive down to the house where the action begins as they aren’t alone there!

The movie certainly takes its time before the horror really starts and I’m glad the trailer showed so little of it.

The overall idea of why this house is a horror house is solid. The atmosphere is building up really well as the two divers proceed further into the house.

The sound is really good, especially with headphones or a nice Surround Set!

The scuba gear is quite nice. Standard wetsuits with BCD’s on the back where they belong! And they are using solid full-face masks.

Now, some pictures from the movie:

It isn’t available on Amazon.com (yet), and I bet there are also other sites where you can buy it.

(medium) SPOILERS AHEAD! I recommend watching the movie before you continue!

Like in Breaking Surface the main enemy of the divers is time and the dwindling oxygen reserves. But in a hunted house there are also other problems 😉

Here you have to accept the fact that supernatural things are happening. I mean there is a house in pristine condition in a lake that was “made” decades ago.

They really did a good job in building these sets and I’m looking forward to finding hopefully some “making of” videos on a Blu-ray release in the future.

 

Spoiler title
I had hoped for a little more (scuba) action, especially as there is a twist near the ending that is perfect to have some more scuba action. Yeah, there are some struggle scenes near the very end, but I had hoped for more. But yeah, it’s hard to satisfy me in that direction. The “ghosts” should be more dangerous, which of course is difficult as they are basically underwater corpses who are quite slow (naturally). The most danger comes from their supernatural abilities.

 

The movie has just the 2 divers and one other guy in it (picture 1). But shooting underwater is complicated and expensive!

From the trailer, it was already clear that there would be “only” this couple, but it would have been great to have perhaps 2 more divers down there with them. That would provide more action scenes with the scuba divers.

Or perhaps no supernatural aspects and some enemy divers that are there to protect the house for some reason. And then some scuba fights in an underwater house! How fantastic would THAT be?!

But ok, that’s my fantasy 😉

All in all, the movie is really good and delivers quite a unique setting with 60 minutes of underwater scenes!

Yeah, there is some wasted potential here and there, but still, it is a very entertaining movie.

*EDIT* As I just learned, there is a short scene AFTER the credits, so check that out 😉

In some weeks I may post my highlight scene of this movie, but as I said, watch the whole movie!

Ok, enough from me.

Have you seen the movie already?

3 female lifeguards in smooth skin wetsuits

by

The bad news first: Today, there won’t be a scuba scene in this post.

The good news: There will be a video with 3 stunning female lifeguards in smooth skin wetsuits!

Let’s start with some pictures:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Well, I don’t know about you….but I love such smooth skin wetsuits! Especially in black.

Funny how they tried to get rid of the “Orca” lettering on the wetsuits with different grades of success 😆

This first guy is really lucky, I mean she is already a gorgeous-looking woman…and now in such a suit….oh man!

The scene continues with an American flag being dropped in the ocean like the first one, but that was only more of slow-motion with heroic music, so I edited that out as it’s repetitive.

And this scene marked the end of the episode, the season, and the whole series as the show was cancelled after one season.

But quite a sexy way to end it 🙂

The car, the lake, and the female diver

by

2 of them are in the other one, can you figure out this mystery? 😉

Ok, time for a new post!

*EDIT* Thanks to the nice guy who recommended me this one!

 

Some pictures:

–

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, no real action in this one….but I do like this scene!

Her wetsuit is nice, even I would prefer it with the wetsuit pants on.

In my version, some evil diver would have followed her as she discovers the car in the lake. He would have his reasons why nobody should know that besides him.

He would then attack her and they would have a long scuba fight. Perhaps the car could be directly involved as a “prop”.

At the ending of this video, I cut out a little bit as she starts crying in his arms. Nothing more to see there.

Two rubber frogwomen in a crazy James Bond rip-off movie

by

I saw this one ages ago but never thought about making a post about it.

But well, it deserves one for sure!

In the 60’s some agent named James Bond (you may have heard about him ;-)) started a landslide of Spy movies.

In a lot of countries, they started their own spy movies, more or less successful.

This one is quite special….for sure. And a perfect example to have some really great ingredients but to FAIL big time in the end (especially in terms of scenes we would like to see).

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here are the scenes:

Link

(it wasn’t welcome on Youtube, which is quite funny/ironic as this movie is stealing music and whole scenes from other movies :lol:)

–

Ok, easy Siggi, calm down…..don’t get….too angry…..easy…….

OH MY GOD! What are these morons doing? …….. Breathe…..

The wasted potential on this one is …quite…GIGANTIC!

Let’s start at the beginning. You have the villain and a henchwoman. Unlike in Thunderball the henchwoman here actually gets into scuba gear, into a sexy black rubber wetsuit.

Ok, she is not as hot as Fiona Volpe….but…..that is nearly impossible to manage anyhow 😉

But what happens then? They go into the water….. and then…..they show up at some underwater base in wet wetsuits. No diving scene with her! A real shame.

She looks quite sexy in her wetsuit, even in black and white. Sadly most of us here don’t understand what they are talking about.

That henchwoman gets assigned to seduce and kill the “Bond” of this movie but gets killed in the end, very much like Fiona Volpe in Thunderball. They were really “inspired” by that one 😆

Then we have a hot good frogwoman who fires with some weird gun (air pistol?!? Oh boy…..) at the evil henchman. She is seen in full gear….so, I think we will see her diving!

Well…..actually….no! WHAT? WHY?!?! She gets into all that gear…and her wetsuit doesn’t even get wet (from the outside at least).

I’m really angry at this moment at the movie….and now it gets really weird.

There is a scuba fight going on between the hero and one evil diver that is COPIED completely out of this movie/scene (which I cut out here):

https://frogwoman.org/the-sneaky-frogwoman-in-rubber

!!!

And now they did not remake it, it is the SAME scene!!!! They just copied (parts of) the underwater fight from the other movie into this one!

And seemingly no one had big issues with it as this version still exists like that.

But’s that not all. They even use a lot of the Thunderball soundtrack that they just use in their movie.

The usage of James Bond music in other movies isn’t completely new to me as I saw for example a Mexican movie with a lot of Bond music from the ’60s.

But using whole scenes….that is…stealing….on a whole new level 😆

It drives me crazy that the whole movie has two frogwomen in rubber that are never seen in the water at all! How great would it be if the good frogwoman would dive and then stumble upon the evil henchwoman! We could have had a great scuba fight…but no, not even anything close to that.

But well, in the end….we have two women in great vintage scuba gear….and that is something for sure! 🙂

But still ….I’m getting angry at this movie… 😆

The scuba killer, the VIP and a pool

by

First of all:

I posted a little update on Project F:

Project F

(scroll down to update on September 26)

–

So, this one is a little….”cheat”, but I decided to post it anyway as this scene is very interesting!

Let’s start with some pictures (without showing the killer):

(click to enlarge)

–

Here is the video:

–

Yeah, I know, no female diver in this one….but there are some interesting aspects to this one.

Ok, first of all, I would like the scene even better if the killer would be a woman. But female scuba killers are an extremely rare breed….

The scene itself is done pretty well with close-ups of him and her. He holds her down by controlling her arms, that’s very efficient.

She tries to escape his grasp but fails, so she is doomed without help from the outside.

The scuba dude is a stone-cold killer the way he drowns her without any emotions.

I wish he would get drowned himself in the end….but that doesn’t happen….even he would have deserved it.

–

His blue outfit is quite odd, never seen a wetsuit like that, odd fabric. But it makes a lot of sense to fully disguise himself in complete blue so he wouldn’t be easily spotted in the pool.

But…..I think she should have seen him anyway….unless he was in a spot where he couldn’t see him from the position where she entered the pool.

However, since he is using a normal regulator she should be able to spot his bubbles! Well, unless he was able to not exhale from the time she came near the pool.

Guess that is possible.

The next question is…where he was as the agents searched the garden? If he would be already in the pool….they should have seen or heard him! Perhaps he sneaked into the pool after the search, guess that is also possible.

 

In my version, the killer would be a frogwoman in black rubber (screw the disguise 😉 who sneaked into the pool as her victim was already swimming there. The swimmer would fight back, struggle hard, steal the regulator of the diver, but would be drowned in the end after she nearly finished off the diver.

Or she would pretend to be dead and then attack the frogman from behind, stealing his regulator…. 😉

The frogwoman and the diver who got sucked in!

by

That’s a title 😉

Well, it’s time for a new post and this one has a pretty long history.

I used to have this show some years ago and started watching it, but lost interest somehow after some episodes.

Then several nice guys recommended the show for its scuba scenes.

But in the meantime I somehow….lost….the show, don’t know how it happened.

I tried to get my hands on it again, but no luck…..for a looooong time.

Finally, some weeks ago I got it and checked every episode for scuba (and other) scenes.

This episode has by far the best scenes, and perhaps I don’t even post about other episodes…but let’s see.

Preview, scene 1:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Well, not that much action in this scene….but doesn’t she look incredible with the silver ScubaPro regulator?

I know there are some guys who really love to see such lips around a regulator….

Not a fan of her scuba mask as I don’t like such see-through silicone on masks, but well, only a minor complaint.

–

 

Preview, scene 2:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Quite a nice peril scene as she gets sucked into that pipe!

Ok, with that speed it’s hard to really see something but the sounds are….interesting.

And well, even the guy got injured as he got trapped down there….. he gets rescued by her, so….the day wasn’t a total fail 😉

I really love the regulator the two lifeguards are using. Sadly, these new, high-end Scubapro regs are pretty expensive…. I got a similar (older) one for Project F, but that isn’t as great as this version.

Damn, I really would have LOVED to see this frogwoman in a scuba fight in that TV show….but well, no luck.

Jessica Alba, a dead diver, a dolphin, and a maniac [+ BONUS scene]

by

[2nd post for today]

Today I wanna show two scenes from the very early days of the 90’s Flipper TV show.

The main scene features a very young Jessica Alba ( I guess only in the surface scenes) and her male buddy to dive down to a shipwreck.

They make an unexpected find….

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Well, certainly not something you wanna find underwater….or anywhere else. #dead dude

I like the performance of the bad guy on the boat as they return to the surface.

Really evil and creepy. Seconds later he even shots Flipper puncturing his fin with a spear! But well, I decided to cut that out of the video as they may spark some comments….

Of course, he is ok later on as this is a kid’s TV show in the first place. 😉

The two kids get locked up and get rescued later on.

 

As a bonus, I have another short scene that doesn’t actually have a frogwoman in it, but you might find it interesting anyhow.

You may have noticed that the air hose of the dead diver was sliced….well, here is the scene from earlier in the episode:

–

Damn, how great would this scene be if it actually would have been 3 frogWOmen? Or at least one….

However, it shows how ruthless the main villain is as he just locks the guy in there after slicing his air hose.

Later on in the episode, the bad guy battles a good guy and loses (but isn’t killed), but that scene is rather badly done…in my opinion.

These scenes can be found in this episode:
