(A filter was used by me to make the video a bit brighter… it is even darker in the original)
Well…. have I promised too much? I hope not….
First, some background story as this scene is a flashback:
“The real Elliot Stanley was a diver, who Frank McDonnell hired to find a downed plane which his father had been on. His father had called him telling him he had important information to
share but had died on the plane before he could show him.
Hoping to find what was inside, Frank hired Elliot. However, Elliot had also become acquainted with Niamh Cassidy, and had travelled down to the plane with her.
While there, she handcuffed him to the plane and sliced his breathing apparatus with a knife, killing him so he couldn’t reveal the truth of what had been found there.”
(not written by me)
Ok, there are some minus points here for sure:
It’s quite a dark scene, even with some added light by me. Ok, it’s realistic as they dive down quite deep and have only their small lights.
It’s uncool that there hasn’t been any surface shot before the dive… especially as they have such cool vintage scuba gear.
Also… it’s not good that his drowning isn’t shown at all. She exists the plane and the rest is left to the imagination.
But… there is a LOT of great aspects in this one for me!
There is a female scuba diver who attacks a male diver and kills him… that is incredibly rare stuff! I know only 3 or 4 scenes where that happens in the movies or in a TV show.
The scuba hear is great. Seems like this is set in the 70s or 80s with these suits. They both have great vintage wetsuits. What is really interesting is that both divers seemingly have “armored”
air hose with some protective encasing around the regular air hose.
That is quite unusual and also … weird. I mean you can see her protector just around most of the hose while some parts aren’t protected by it.
But ok, this way only certain parts of her hose can be sliced.
Perhaps both used this extra protection as they were diving into a wreck … which often has some sharp edges.
Or are they both prepared for a scuba knife fight? 😉
It’s funny and unrealistic that his air hose basically explodes as her knife is just touching it 😆
It’s actually quite difficult to slice such a hose… as I have proven in some of my Project F videos 😉
I really like how she planned this whole thing. She ties him up first, which he realizes very quickly and then she attacks with her knife.
He isn’t helpless and also has a knife. She cuts into his arm, so his defense is down as she slices his air hose.
She is out of his reach and so he is doomed to drown in that plane.
I love all the sounds that he makes in this scene! I guess they added some in post-production, a great job 🙂
He immediately realizes that he is in big trouble and you can hear that from the start.
Also, I do love the reveal of the scuba killer!
How she walks out of the water, that she ditches some gear, and that you can only see from behind how she pulls off her scuba hood.
The audience has still no clue who that is or how she looks until the camera moves around her and shows her face in that phone booth.
A great reveal for sure!
Ok, enough from me… how do YOU like this scene?

She struggles to get out of the down-sliding plane and passes out (drowns?) on her way up to the surface. Seemingly she is dead but wakes up coughing after a short time. #odd
Yeah, the roaring shark who ignores her is really… cringy.
But I like that he unmasks her as the tail hits her face.
Quite surprising that the fact that she loses her scuba mask doesn’t influence her at all… seemingly.
Also, she could have recovered it… in case it isn’t broken. But for some reason, she didn’t care about her mask.
The buddy breath scenes with the guy are well done.
In case you wonder why there is a dead scuba diver inside the plane:
He was one of two of a rescue team who found the plane but the fantasy sharks quickly had them as a scuba diver “snack”.
Some guys with scuba gear were on the plane… so the three could use that gear to escape the plane (wetsuits/masks).
All in all… a nice scene, and I am grateful for any new movie material with scuba scenes.

Wanna know the title of the TV show and the episode name?
I do prefer live-action over animated scenes… but this one just has to be on the blog!
Thanks to the guy who recommended it to me some time ago!
We have a frogwoman and a frogman who encounter two evil female scuba divers 🙂
Preview:
They encounter…
…two evil female scuba divers!
Creative!
Her air hose is damaged!

There are a lot of interesting aspects to this one.
The scuba gear is very unusual! The evil female divers use some mini breathing devices like James Bond does in Thunderball.
And the two heroes have an even more interesting setup. They use oxygen masks with double hoses!
I guess both hoses are supposed to be intake hoses here as it wouldn’t be a big problem if the left hose would be damaged like that as that would (normally) be the outtake hose where the used air
gets transported back to the first stage to be vented out there.
But maybe I’m overthinking it already as the creators might not actually had a clue how that gear would work…?!?
However, I really like the scene with the damaged air hose! Nice sound effects and a creative scuba fight for sure.
The guy throws an octopus at one of the attackers… and she is out of the fight… at least.
Delilah grabs the weight belt of the other villainess who then ascends quickly to the surface… which can be deadly depending on the depth and the fact if she can stop the uncontrolled ascend
or not.
All in all a very interesting and thrilling scene 🙂
