Thanks to Gaston for this recommendation he made a while back!
I edited this video in a way that we basically have two scenes in it. In the first Lee Majors (aka Steve Austin in this one) tries some new underwater breathing device as two bad frogmen attack him!
In the 2nd scene, a frogwoman uses the same device and is trapped in a cage so he needs to rescue her…

For folks from the USA and Canada (video blocked there):
Well, the fight scene is pretty nice even if there are no scuba ladies involved.
The second scene….well, as mostly it could have been better. They lock a frogwoman in a cage with a breathing device that only works with Lee Majors.
But instead of showing her…how she doesn’t get any air and starts to panic…they show the fight on the surface. And even as Majors is underwater we didn’t get one good shot on Elke Sommer and her faulty breathing device…..
On the good site is her in that wetsuit. She looks really good in it.
And her lying on her back in that wetsuit….that’s my favorite part 😉
Thanks to “E. C.” I watched another promising movie! We have three Norwegian soldiers that are best buddies since they served in Afghanistan. One woman and two guys. She is now together with one of them. But the other guy still has feelings for her too……. and he is ready to do what it takes to get her…
They are exploring a cave system that is partially underwater.
Ok, I admit: The main peril scene clearly belongs to the friend of our frogwoman. He runs out of air..manages somehow to reach the surface to be drowned(?) by his “friend”.
But seeing her with her little panic attack after discovering the dead body wasn’t bad either…
–
I know I did produce a cliffhanger at the end of the video….but you should see the whole movie if you get the chance. And I wanted to have the video a certain length (not too long).
There aren’t any other (scuba) dive scenes in the movie, but as a bonus she runs around in a wetsuit for 80% of the movie(!!)…. well, not a real sexy one for my taste…but still nice to see:
….however there is a freedive scene with her in that movie.

If I had made the movie:
I would have made a gender swap. One guy loved by two women. They dive on separate paths and both women start to fight underwater. One attacks the other one from behind and a long struggle would follow. Perhaps with knives and a cut air hose 😉
It’s about time to finally upgrade that brilliant, sexy scene from “For your eyes only“.
I now present the complete scene in HD and a….”naughty” little video in addition 😉
James Bond (Roger Moore) goes to the bottom of the sea with Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet) to salvage a secret communications device before the villain can get it.
But of course, they are not alone…

Entering the wreck….
…what is he doing with me?
My air hose!!!! NO!
…it’s getting hard to ….
…breathe!

And here is the video:
–
Well, a legendary scene for me! The air escaping from her air hoses + her reaction to it….pure GOLD!
It’s a pretty odd plane of the evil guy…let’s push her higher…so that her air hoses might rip….
I don’t know if that would even work…but …..THANKS to the screenwriter who thought about that way 🙂
I would say he could have used the cutting robo-hands to attack her…ok, maybe his range was too short for that. I think the movement is very limited in that thing.
The only two things I would actually change:
The “suits” of Bond and Havelock are pretty unsexy. It looks like they had no real dive suits and took some rain clothes that Q found in the basement somewhere.
Real wetsuits would have been much better (for me).
If you look carefully at the closeup-shots…you might notice that the actress isn’t actually underwater! The problem was that Carole Bouguet couldn’t dive because of some medical issues. I guess she couldn’t make the pressure compensation because of it. So they used some tricks that it would look like she actually is underwater.
–
And I edited a very short video that focuses on her. In some ….sexy closeups:
Now, it’s time for the scuba fight I promised the last week.
After our frogwoman and her boyfriend explored the sunken city, they now returned with reinforcements. Her boyfriend convinced his army buddies (a special unit stationed in Serbia) to raise the nazi gold from the sunken city. Of course, this undertaking doesn’t go unnoticed. The local Serbian commander still hunts these soldiers after a previous encounter. He knows what they are after and he and his men are on patrol boats right above our frogwoman and her buddies…. The commander sends 3 divers down to investigate and stop the intruders. Our frogwoman and one soldier are salvaging gold as a Serbian diver discovers them….

Our frogwoman…
…and a sneaky attacker…
…who goes for her mask! (and more)

Here is the video:

Well, here is my opinion on the scene [SPOILER ahead]:
The setting is a little dark, some more lights would have been cool (even it is more realistic this way). And the action is paced very fast, a little too fast for me…
…but those are the only real negative aspects to me.
Besides that… the scene offers A LOT:
The guy sneaks up on her…and punches her regulator out of her mouth. Wow, pretty rough solution, but it works and should provide a big shock for her. Don’t know if I ever saw a female diver attacked like that (punching out the regulator).
Then he quickly goes for her mask and rips it down (….which will prove to be a FATAL mistake*).
I love her facial expression and the sounds she makes while he rips off her mask. Very …sexy scene! 🙂
Now she has lost her regulator and her mask and he is about to finish her with his knife while she is defenseless.
She is saved by her buddy and manages to put her mask back on, her regulator back in. And she clears her water-filled mask.
So she can return the favor and save her buddy just in time. And the Serbian seal gets finished off rather violently as well. Stabbed and shot….not many divers die that way…. 😆
Well, now to the fatal mistake* of the Serbian seal…IF he had pulled off her mask by pulling it up and off her head…she couldn’t be ready for action that fast (if she could recover her mask at all). She wouldn’t have saved her buddy and might be killed afterward.
But I like that she recovers from the sneaky attack so fast and even stabs the attacker. She wasn’t the (usual) easy victim. And even it is pretty dark, you can spot her quite well because of her partly colored equipment (her buddy’s equipment is all black).
Well, the Serbian diver is pretty optimistic to attack these two. I love his double hose regulator. She should have used her knife to slice his air hose… leaving him to drown….but well, you can’t have everything.

There are many more scuba minutes in that movie…but nothing special enough to upload it too. I recommend you, to watch the whole movie if you want to see all her scuba scenes. The movie is quite good, besides the scuba scenes. However, the IMDB rating is pretty low…
I recently discovered some pictures of a german TV series called “S.O.S. Barracuda” and that showed something VERY unique to me. I had that show on my radar for some time, but these pictures motivate me now to the highest level….
You may have noticed that I love scenes where female scuba divers get …into trouble. 😉
An “Air runs out-scenario” is interesting and a scuba fight is even more interesting. What I really love are scenes when the air hose gets cut and the air streams out the severed hose. Such a scenario is very rare… I know quite a lot of the action scuba scenes from movies and TV and I know only close to 10 scenes where a female diver is attacked and her air hose gets cut.
What all these scenes have in common: The female diver survives the attack…every single time. This is kind of odd since there are some scenes where female divers are actually drowned by others. But in all these scenes the regulator gets pulled out (or the air valve gets closed).
So, in these pictures of S.O.S. Barracuda I found proof for a scenario I never witnessed before:
A drowned female diver WITH a cut air hose!!!!
Here are the pictures:
The proof! A cut air hose…

I don’t know about the order of these pictures, but WOW…… promising as hell!!!
And I don’t know how good the fight scene actually is, but well…. I WANT to SEE IT….I MUST SEE IT! I WILL SEE IT!
(…..insane mumbling continues….)

That series consists of 8 movies shot from 1997-2002 for the german TV channel RTL. There are certain aspects that make it VERY hard to get that series:
– It was made for TV, was shown the last time in 2002! It was never shown on TV for the last 16 years…
– There are no DVDs of the show.
– Only very few people seem to know that show…only 13(!) rates on IMDB, which is next to nothing
– I wanted to ask RTL for it…but it seems that RTL won’t give out material of “fiction”, you can only get recordings from stupid TV shows like “Let’s dance” from them…
– I do have some good sources for old movies and TV stuff, but….. no luck as well
– I don’t know why the fuck I didn’t know about these movies back then, could have recorded them….but somehow they slipped my attention
So, folks, I ask you! Do you have the scuba scenes from that series? Or even better….the whole thing?
Or do you have more information on that series?
Please leave your comments below!

And of course, you will be rewarded for info that leads to me getting that series! Some kind of swap deal (movies, TV episodes) and/or free months for the VIP club.
