A female and a male diver get attacked…. by a net!

by

Well, the net isn’t magical… but it gets deliberately thrown over them to kill them!

I have known about this movie for a very long time, and I made a post about one scene ten years ago:

There is also this scene that I never posted here because of … a rather embarrassing reason….:

I thought that both divers in this scene would be guys.

Only one of them is shown well from the front. We only see very little on the surface of the other one.

Lately, this movie was brought up in a forum thread, and I watched that scene again… and I have to admit:

No, those are not two guys in that scene, at least not on the surface! (perhaps a male stunt diver underwater?)

But I took a closer look… and I’m now 99,99% sure that the diver (without the bomb) on the left actually is a woman.

Maybe the picture quality in an earlier version that I had seen was worse… and so I didn’t realize it, hard to say.

But with the fact that a female scuba diver is in the scene… the scene has to be featured here!

Ok, yes… we do see not much of her both on the surface and underwater.

The water skiing scene is awfully short, and then you see her only from behind, already in full scuba gear.

And I guess I was just skipping through the movie and didn’t make the connection between the water skier and the diver.

She is fully hidden in her scuba gear underwater (hood, narrow mask, vest), especially as basically every shot underwater only shows her thrashing around in the net.

A shame they only showed so little of her 🙁

But nevertheless, that scene must be featured here now!

The peril is shown quite well, even though there is that much movement.

Why they try to bomb that yacht in broad daylight is a mystery to me… but otherwise they couldn’t have filmed this scene well 😉

Also, catching them like that with a net… seems very difficult… but ok.

Some continuation errors are included, as at least one of them is shown without the regulator and then with it back in again.

But ok, maybe he/she lost it once and retrieved it back… only to lose it again? Could be…

Also: How can the guys on the yacht know that they were already dead/finished before they cut the line to the net? Hope? A guess?

I guess it would be awfully difficult to escape such a net when it moves around at that speed, so I think it is quite realistic… more or less.

It’s also interesting that only he was able to get to his knife; her knife is still in the sheath.

Guess she couldn’t reach it as she was entangled in the moving net.

The guys behind this movie certainly had a thing for nets, as this isn’t the only scene where a scuba diver gets caught by it (link above) 😉

Somehow weird that the bad guys in the movie didn’t have scuba divers on their side. I mean, they constantly get attacked by scuba divers who try to blow up their yacht 😆

But maybe they thought that a net here and there was enough… a missed opportunity nonetheless 🙁

However, I was now motivated enough to order the (French) DVD of this movie for the collection.

Perhaps I will now watch the whole movie (subtitles?), even my (school-) French is quite “rusty”.

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…..

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.

Greek frogwoman trapped in a net! [+special cut bonus video]

by

I know about this scene for quite a while but haven’t posted it here so far.

A nice guy asked if I would know it and now, I wanna make a post about it.

Here we have the two scuba scenes of the movie.

In the first one, a young couple dives around…each on their own(!), and soon the guy gets into trouble…

In the main scene at the end of the movie they are diving again, and this time the frogwomen gets into trouble….big trouble!

Sorry, but that is actually the best picture quality available for this rare greek movie.

–

Well…..I would say….WOW! And not really a good wow…. 😆

They have a gorgeous woman in a solid wetsuit. She dives into a net. A good scenario!

But so many aspects here are really badly done….

First the music: Sounds like a madman on drugs playing some most annoying sounds on his electric keyboard. I get headaches from that…..

And there are so many logic plotholes I don’t know where to start!

Ok, why the happy couple is always diving each on their own….I don’t know….pretty reckless, but ok, not unlogical at least.

Two times she reaches for her knife more or less, why doesn’t she get it???? She isn’t so trapped that she couldn’t reach it.

I guess her tank is supposed to be empty at one point but she is exhaling all the time through her mouthpiece on regular basis. When is she supposed to be out of air?

Of course, it’s the usual theme: when a diver is trapped he/she has only a few % of air left…. oh man.

Why are they cutting SO often (in way too long scenes) to him setting on these rocks???? That interrupts way too often her dramatic scenes.

He decides that she may be in trouble so starts looking for her. Good idea! But why is he diving as slow as a 100-year-old grandma? The love of your life seems to be in trouble… man! She is diving alone and her tank must be pretty empty!!!! You should HURRY….a bit at least….

Often it seems like she isn’t really trapped in the net as it is floating pretty high above the ground. It looks like she even could reach the surface sometimes.

He finally finds her! And what does he do??? He starts yanking on the net! ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHH

Perhaps she needs air???? You could give her some!!!! You also have a knife! Use it, damn it!

All the time she is still conscious and kicking. Just before they reach the surface she doesn’t move anymore. Is he sharing his air with her? NOOOO, still he does nothing like that.

They reach the surface, she still has the regulator in her mouth, which would be very unusual for someone out of air….

But what then? Does he give her mouth to mouth? No, she pushes and pulls a little on her!!!?! Ok, I know that mouth to mouth rescue isn’t a very old technique. And there were older ones before that.

But good god, he moves so slowly! So very slowly …like she would be a puppet on a first aid exercise….no rush….she isn’t breathing…but take your time.

Then she is seemingly conscious for some seconds….but quickly dies afterward??????

And he is still very relaxed… maybe he is thinking: “what the hell, my beloved is dead now….well, then I can go home now and make dinner”.

WHAT???? Who comes up with all that madness?

I guess the screenwriter/director was as mad as the music composer.

Ok, I admit I haven’t seen the full movie as it is in greek language. But so much is going wrong in this final dive scene which could have been so much better!

 

*EDIT* Here are some background news I got from the nice guy who reminded me about this movie:

The translate of the title is “that summer”. She is scuba teacher but has cancer as the script says. Althought decided to dive with her ex husband. At the second dive she didn’t felt ok underwater because of her illness and finally died. For this reason her ex husband didn’t do her anything to save her.

 

Well, there you can see how important a background story can be to understand this weirdness better.

But still, I am convinced of many of the things I wrote above.

For you folks I edited the final scene to a much BETTER version …with an open ending (blog exclusive):
