Scuba Peril

The frogwoman who was an underwater hostage

by

First of all, you will find a post on my MASKRIPPER blog, that would fit in here as well!

Check it out:

The female agent who was wearing a wetsuit, a swimsuit and a gas mask [+Bonus video]

And now to a frogwoman in scuba gear!

I thought about this one for a while now as some folks recommended this one over the years. Thanks for that! 🙂

As available material and taste change over the years….it’s now time to post it as I think many of you might like these scenes more than I do.

Perhaps you have a hunch why I didn’t upload this one until now.

I really love the storyline and the hideous villainess plot! Kidnapping that beautiful woman, putting her in scuba gear and a sexy wetsuit, and then tying her up underwater.

But I do have quite a lot of problems with how they presented it.

First of all, the camera is so far away most of the time! It’s hard to really see her. And underwater it’s rather murky so you can’t get a good look at her…a real shame!

Some closeups of her in distress as she realizes her situation, fighting against her restraints, breathing faster and faster….that would have been great!

Also, I would have discarded the whole bomb plot. Just let her air run out as the time limit.

And the end is very odd. She is more or less unconscious when she is finally at the surface. Why? Did she run out of air after all? If yes, why didn’t the hero give her air?

And then the odd cutting as suddenly her father is in the boat as the hero is in a real hurry to leave. Strange.

In my version, she would wear a full wetsuit like the male divers. But once again the female divers in a movie need to show more skin as they think it will make them more attractive.

But ok, I guess many think like that.

WANTED: “The Incredible World of James Bond” (documentary)

by

Thanks to a nice guy on a forum I was pointed towards a youtube video in which I learned that there is a documentary TV special “The Incredible World of James Bond” from 1965 to promote the Bond movies and to keep the hype up about the franchise who was at an all-time high back then.

This is the IMDB page:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0438106

 

There seems to be quite a lot of Thunderball behind the scenes snippets in it, so I would LOVE to see the whole thing!

I tried any source to get my hands on this documentary, but no luck.

So, has anybody perhaps an idea where to get it?

It wasn’t ever released on any media as I think. Perhaps it was put as a special on a DVD or Blu-ray of a James Bond movie, but I haven’t found any proof of that.

So, if anyone has a nice link…. please use the contact form to get in touch with me!

Or leave a comment below!

If the video quality is ok, I would say I would like to offer 3 free months for the VIP club as a reward.

I already made a nice little “Thunderball bond girls on set” video out of the making of and the video mentioned above that I will post shortly.

But with the full documentary, I think I can make a better and longer video…..

–

*EDIT*

Case closed as I got a hint by a nice guy about where to get that documentary!

Guess I will make a post about the Thunderball girls with some behind the scenes footage Sunday next week.

The frogwoman and the water spirit

by

I saw a trailer for this one a couple of months ago and now I finally saw the movie.

In this new german movie, we have a happy couple going scuba diving in a big reservoir.

But the dive doesn’t go as planned….

Preview pictures:

And here is the video:

–

*EDIT* This is now the short version since Youtube blocked my earlier video due to “nudity”….which is SO completely bizarre! There is nothing to see. Yeah, he opens her wetsuit to revive her, but again, there is nothing shown there. Is reviving somebody now something sexual for Youtube? Verrrrrry strange…..

However, here is the longer version, I uploaded earlier:

The frogwoman and the water spirit (long cut)

*EDIT2* January 11: now actually with the longer scene on google drive (sorry for uploading the same shorter scene yesterday)

–

Well, I guess most of you think: WTF? What is going on there???

Yeah, I thought the same as I watched it. As I finished watching the movie things became much clearer. But still, there are quite a few mysteries about certain scenes from the movie.

This movie has some fantasy elements, the frogwoman in this scene IS actually some sort of water spirit called “Undine” (an old myth you may check on google).

But why she is pulled away by the fish and why does the guy never even ask about what happened….I can’t tell you.

And also, when she is a water spirit, she may not need the scuba gear. I guess she puts it on so she can keep her secret in front of her boyfriend. But why does she nearly drowns when she is a water spirit….I don’t know. Perhaps she was just pretending to give him the opportunity to “save” her and thereby be her hero.

I really like the close-up shots of the frogwoman and her classic vintage (or vintage-style) scuba mask. The reviving scene is done quite well and is pretty sexy.

Sadly it was her only scuba scene in the movie. He is seen underwater quite more often as he is an industrial diver. Then he uses rather heavy gear of course.

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like a German version of Joaquin Phoenix? 😉

S.O.S. Barracuda TV airing!!!

by

[last updated: January 24]

In late December I made a post on this cool forum:

https://www.underwaterclipsource.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=37572

….and it’s about time that I post here about in the page as well!

 

I posted this on the forum on December 29:

Hopefully you know my post about an episode from S.O.S. Barracuda which includes something VERY, VERY, VERY RARE…..
https://frogwoman.org/female-scuba-diver … -barracuda

–
S.O.S. Barracuda is a german series consisting out of 8 movies made from 1997 to 2002.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1169951
During the summer of 2018 I heard that there was a rather fantastic scene (with some flaws) in one of the movies.
But I thought I would probably never see it. These movies weren’t shown since the early 2000’s in german TV and there are no DVD/Blu-ray releases.
Then I made a request for it on my blog.
I was very lucky to get videos files from a friendly guy who read my request about these movies.

I subscribed to an email-alert that I would get if these movies ever would be shown again here in german TV.
Since, as I said, the movies weren’t shown for over 15 years….I had very little hope that they would ever be shown again.
But yesterday I got such an email alert….. :!: :!: :!: :!: …I was quite shocked….in a good way :lol:
On January 23 a first movie of that show is shown on “RTL Passion” (german pay TV).
Oddly enough they show movie number 3…at first. :?:
At my place where I have cable….I can’t get that channel, even I would want to.

I would love to get recordings of all 8 movies.
AS I understand only 2 or 3 have scuba content in it.
But I want all of them in a good quality.
Especially that one with the epic scuba drowning!!!!
Hopefully the channel will show all of them….

I will try to figure out if there is a way in which I could get these movies in nice quality files.
Has anyone experience in recording from a TV airing? In a way that you would have a quality file on the computer afterwards?
I have a digital recorder which I use to record movies all the time. But they are then on that recorder and can’t be moved to anywhere else.
I also have an older recorder with DVD drive, which I could use to get it to the computer….but as I said, I can’t get that channel so….both recorders are not an option in this case.
Perhaps getting it from a streaming site would be an option…

I hope someone here can help with advice!
Or perhaps even record these movies… 
——-

*EDIT* January 24th:

All issues have been figured out and I got the first one, check out the new post from January 24 for the scenes from the first movie.

 

–

You can find the answers I got in the forum itself as I don’t want the made this post too long.

Well, I really hope that they will air all these 8 movies, especially the ones with female scuba content off course….

Will keep you updated!

The frogwoman and the gill man

by
[2nd post for today]

Time for some scenes from a movie that is more than 65 years old!

A “gill man” gets captured and placed into a big pool for study and to entertain the visitors of the aqua park.

A woman and a man use some high end scuba gear (for that time) to “train” him.

Of course the gil man gets interested in her and doesn’t want to be chained to the bottom of the pool 😉

And here is the video:

The frogwoman and the gill man

(on google drive)

Posted it on Youtube, but it was blocked right away….

 

These full face scuba masks with radio must have been very high end back in 1955.

But I haven’t seen these in other movies of the time. I guess they had some problems or were very expensive.

The scenes are very interesting even I wish the creature would have wrestled a little longer with her….perhaps even grabing for her scuba mask or air hose.

However it was good to have some scuba peril in this one. Surely one of the earliest scenes like that in (movie-) history.

The frogwoman, the U-boat and nazi gold

by

So, one last post for 2020!

In this episode of Flipper, we have plenty of diving scenes. And they involve a sunken U-boat and nazi gold!

Besides the main scene at the end of the episode, I will post here another one that is placed a little earlier in the episode.

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, a nice scuba scene! I like her wetsuit and her FFM.

Also, the fact that they get trapped there while the bomb is ticking is a solid peril scenario.

In my version, the two would have encountered 3 or 4 evil male and female scuba divers who would want that gold for themselves. 😉

And then an epic scuba battle in the U-boat would begin…..

But well, perhaps next time….

–

As a little bonus I wanna present the scuba scene in which the bomb was planted as well:

Both scenes can be found in this episode:

The martial arts frogwoman from hungary

by

First of all thanks to the guy who recommended me a video from this TV show and also to Scuba Snooper who uploaded a video from it on youtube!

I asked for the title of the untitled video and not only got the title but the link for the whole episode!

Couldn’t ask for anything more….. 🙂

I checked the whole episode and found a lot more interesting scenes, so I decided to make my own version with all the female scuba scenes below and above the surface.

But enough text for now, let’s start with some pictures:

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

So, I don’t understand Hungarian (surprise!)…but from what I understand of the episode so far…some villains are searching in that lake for treasure.

One of the evil guys turns against the other one and drowns him as he finds something (a rather disappointing scene).

The dead frogman gets found by the police. For some reason, the TV show’s lead actress gets her hands on his wetsuit and starts wearing that men’s suit.

We can clearly see that it doesn’t fit her very well as she is surprised by that guy. Logically it’s pretty loose. (DAMN!)

One of the good guys has to help the bad guys in recovering the treasure (the guy in the full-face scuba mask).

They decide to get rid of him and close the valve so he doesn’t get any oxygen while being trapped underwater!

Lucky for him our frogwoman shows up just in time.

But she has to fight off the evil guy in the red wetsuit first. As she is a trained martial arts expert…she uses her elbow to hit him right in the face, seemingly breaking his nose.

–

Of course, there are some minus points. Her wetsuit is way too loose, the visibility is rather bad, and the a language problem. A shame the villainess doesn’t dive at the end and is only be seen exiting the water in her blue wetsuit very early on. Would have been great to have the two frogwomen fighting against each other at the end of the episode.

But this episode has a LOT to offer! Some great vintage wetsuits and nice diving scenes. Also, I like how the villains try to drown that guy, a really hideous way….

The highlight is of course the scuba fight where our frogwoman has to face the evil guy in the red wetsuit! It could have been longer, but I really like the intensity. Filming through her scuba mask for a second or two was an awesome idea! Don’t know why that wasn’t done more often.

Also, it’s great that she let out some “grunting” noises to illustrate the intensity of the fight as she has to defend herself against his scuba knife.

A caged frogwoman, a gigantic shark and Jason Statham

by

This post is long overdue! I was pretty sure that I posted about the movie as soon it hit the theaters back then, but not here on the blog.

This movie has one really GREAT scuba peril scene and I made two videos to incl. the whole scene without making a too long video.

Nonetheless, it was blocked on Youtube but in this case “only” in France and some french overseas islands/regions. So 99% should be able to see it.

This movie has gigantic Megalodon sharks and obviously, you shouldn’t take it as a “realistic” movie. You should just have fun watching it.

I am pretty sure there isn’t a single really realistic shark movie anyhow…so…no need to care about the realism in it 😉

We have a yacht full of folks who wanna catch a living Megalodon.

Of course, it’s not as easy as they thought…..

[Watch the videos before you continue!]

That was quite a ride for her….

Not exactly a nice thought of being stuck in the mouth of that MEG!

Her wetsuit is quite sexy for a modern suit and it’s nice that she doesn’t have a BCD.

Bingbing Li does a good job in the movie and here in this scuba scene!

I love the tension as she is alone in that cage, she knows the shark is somewhere, and we can clearly hear her exhaling through the scuba mask.

And the air loss peril scene is just great! I am not 100% sure if it is realistic, as I think that the actual incoming air gets only in the “closed” area around the mouth (unless you wanna clear the whole mask underwater). Also, her air is depleting too fast in my opinion when we see the percentages going down rapidly.

But anyhow, I love the sound of the exiting air and her reaction to it. The sentence: “My mask is broken, I’m losing air!”….pure gold. 😉

I think it was a wise choice to leave the mask on even as her oxygen was gone. With the mask on she couldn’t inhale water, she was “just” passing out.

As you can see here, the movie features an actress which plays a MASSIVE role on my other blog. In this movie, I actually really saw her for the first time.
