And now we are getting to the first part of THE main scuba scene of the movie!
The heroine of the movie, now dressed in a latex(!!!) suit is going on a dive with another woman who has special instructions 😉
Preview:
Time for a dive!
Interesting outfit for a scuba dive….
She has special plans!
And she is now in trouble!

And here is the video:

If you see all the scuba scenes in this movie and that latex catsuit the heroine is wearing…. well, I am sure the director of this movie Michael Gleissner has a fetish or two 😉
He also is one of the producers, the main writer of the movie and also is the villain in it! (the guy standing on the boat at the beginning of this video)
I mean why would the woman wear such a latex suit (which isn’t fitting very well) for a scuba dive? Well, either her character in the movie has a special taste or the director/producer 😉
My bet is on the director/producer!
Also, we get quite a lot of scuba peril scenes in this one…. so, I think that the director and myself have some things in common.
Clothing aside this first part of that scuba action scene is great! There are VERY few scenes where the air hose of a female scuba diver gets cut and even fewer scenes where a female scuba diver is the attacker! I love it 🙂
The sound and the visuals of her sliced hose spewing bubbles… is quite something!
The fact that she traps her in the plane is a bonus aspect as well.
Of course, the heroine won’t die like this in the middle of the movie (it’s not Psycho (the movie)) so, she can survive with that air pocket and her freediving skills.
Next week I will post the second part where our heroine takes revenge on her sneaky attacker….
Today I wanna present an old classic that somehow wasn’t posted here on the blog.
In this one, we have a woman in a strange wetsuit/catsuit awaking in a flooded tank, with an alien observing her! And she is wearing a pretty unique oxygen mask 🙂
Preview:
Quite an odd situation…
… as she awakes!
Who is under that mask? Is she still alive?

And here is the video:
–
Well, quite a unique scene!
Unfortunately, I don’t know the exact background story as I never watched this TV show, but perhaps someone can help with that!
However, I think it’s a nice and (too) short scene with quite a cool oxygen mask!
An interesting design that was most likely created for this show…#scifylook
The mask looks like they embedded a regulator in the lower part of the mask, but that is only my guess.
Damn, I wish she would have worn that mask for a longer period than in these short scenes.
Not sure what the aliens planned here but in my version they may have experimented with her oxygen supply to see how much oxygen a human needs 😉
The unmasking is a nice bonus since she doesn’t appear in that episode beforehand…. a nice reveal!
The suit she is wearing is also quite sexy! Hard to 100% say if that is some sort of modified wetsuit or a “catsuit” that just gets wet.
So, it’s time for the sixth video of the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”!
As mentioned in the previous posts the videos from that shoot will be pretty short, but action-packed as we tried some simple action scenarios.
Frogwoman Kara and Frogwoman Lucy wanna figure out who is the better underwater fighter. And there is only one way to find out 😉

Background info:
This was the last scenario we filmed on that video shoot and time was slowly running out.
Frogwoman Lucy was still in her vintage-style gear incl. the double hose regulator.
After we had an air hose cut with a corrugated thick hose at the first video shoot, I wanted to have an air hose cut with a modern air hose this time.
At first, Lucy had some problems with getting the knife out of its holster (that footage will be included in the long cut of this video) …and …slicing such a hose is quite difficult!
It took her several tries to “only” damage the hose, which wasn’t the exact result I wanted… but we learned a lot.
I will need to sharpen that knife a little bit before the next video shoot.
I admire how dedicated Lucy was to getting the job done, she tried and tried and didn’t stop even as she cut herself in the fingers several times!
But she stayed really calm and thankfully these were only minor cuts. Still, others might have freaked out, she was really relaxed and brave.
Next time we will practice such a scene better prior.
I am quite glad we filmed this scenario at the very end, as this would have influenced the shooting. Don’t think it would have been wise for Lucy to continue on that day.
However, I was and am really happy with how well both Frogwomen mastered this unknown scenario, especially as both have so little experience with diving.
I was quite surprised that this downward move damaged the air hose like that after the previous attempts didn’t do any real damage (that footage will also be added in the long cut of this video).
In a future scenario like this, I wanna use a detailed script and it would be great to continue the fight after the air hose was sliced. The attacked diver would continue breathing with the 2nd regulator while the air would be gushing out of the other air hose.
I wonder how long the air in the tank will last with a sliced regulator hose? Pretty sure I saw a Youtube video where someone tried that and it took about 2 minutes or so.
Well, we will find out 😉

Editing:
I used some filters (10% more brightness in gamma and gain, text).
Where to watch it?
The video is available again in the VIP clubNOW in March alongside the other content….as it is under 4 minutes of running time!
Here is a quick overview of the content of this month:
Just a quick post for today as I don’t have enough time.
Many of you will know this Instagram account by now, but for those who don’t, check out her Instagram account …and also her Youtube channel (linked on her Insta):
Now check out this scene, which can also be found in that TV show made 4 years later:
–
Well…. quite odd! They re-used the complete underwater footage here!!!
The scenario is exactly the same. The detective (Ben Gazzara!) wants to meet with a woman only to be attacked by a mysterious frogwoman in rubber!
But there are some differences (despite the different actors):
Here we actually see some very short scenes of the evil frogwoman above the water.
In the original, they fight underwater and suddenly….cut….and he is in a hospital. One of the worst cuts in the history of humankind! ARGHHHHH!
In this “remake” we see him pulling the obviously defeated frogwoman to the shore, with her mouthpiece in his hand!
But then…. I start yelling at the screen! AGAIN, they don’t show the villainess anymore except for some seconds where she is already covered in a blanket.
How bizarre is that? Why have they shown only so little of her??? I would have loved to see the defeated frogwoman in her wet rubber suit on the surface! Just add a dialogue there and show her!
The murderer is finally caught and she just vanishes without saying a word!
DAMN! Really frustrates me big time! That and that the moment of him overpowering her underwater isn’t shown properly.
However the flaws, that ending… in both versions…. in one of my all-time favorites!
It’s such a unique scenario. An evil frogwoman in rubber who wants to drown a guy in this scene ….and already did drown a woman earlier in the episode!
How often do you get that in a TV show or movie? Spoiler-Alert….Basically NEVER! 😉
Ok, it’s hard to say if the diver who actually did the diving during filming is actually a woman….since the underwater picture is rather dark… or if they used a male diver to double for the villainess.
However it is supposed to be a woman, that is 100% clear.
–
So, why the same scenario and the same underwater footage?
These episodes are from different TV shows but are basically identical as the script is nearly a copy (some slight changes).
With some quick research, I found out that both TV shows were made by the same company (Roncom Films) for the same network (NBC).
The earlier show is from 1964 and the “remake” is from 1968.
So they “just” re-used footage that they shoot some years earlier.
Quite bizarre that they just remade an entire episode just some years later in a different TV show.
Don’t know why they did it, perhaps they were just lazy and recycled the script 😆
–
In the original, the villainess is the secretary of the guy who was in love with the drowned woman from the beginning of the episode.
Here is a picture of the villainous redhead from the original (Fiona Volpe vibes):
Really a shame she wasn’t shown on the surface in her rubbery frogwoman suit. 🙁
In the remake, she is his personal physical therapist (and less attractive)…but that is already one of the biggest changes from the original to the remake.
–
I guess you might wanna know now from which TV show that remake is?
You could nearly think that someone who worked on this movie had a little fetish 😉
I mean the two who are waiting on the beach are wearing full wetsuits with hoods and scuba socks just to quickly run into the water and assist the other guy for some seconds.
But they are running around in wetsuits for over 10 minutes in the movie. That could have been achieved without both in full rubber…but well….. I won’t complain about it 😉
However, she looks gorgeous in that suit, even though I curse that this wasn’t shot in color back in 1966, which would be done most likely if this would have been a US movie. I think color is just a lot sexier.
If I would be the actor on that beach with her she would probably wonder why I look away from her 99% of the time to keep “cool” 😆
I am glad that she is the one who is wearing the hood most of the time, really adds to the great optic.
–
Quite a dark ending that all but the villainess die in the end. A really good scene as he tried to run away from the police in order to use his dive gear to escape. Even that would have been quite difficult, even if he made it without getting shot. But well, the whole movie had this atmosphere that was leading to a tragic ending.
Must have been… interesting… for the actor who was on the plane as he was filming in that wetsuit for a loooong time.
Would have been nice if the frogwoman would have fought with some cops on her attempted escape….
But ok, that was sadly no option back in the 60s as this was filmed.
You won’t see any women in the video of this post.
So, why do I make a post about it?
I think this scene is a great “template” for a scuba fight with sexy female divers!
Check out the video, I’m very sure you will find it interesting….
I was browsing through some old footage that I had recorded a long time ago and stumbled on this scene.
And I managed to make a video file in good quality for you folks and myself.
Preview:
Just an ordinary day for Mannix. Cruising around in a boat…
…getting attacked by frogmen in black rubber, who…
…want to drown him!
He doesn’t want to drown though… 😉
(click to enlarge)
–
And here is the video:
–
Well, now imagine that these divers would wear the same outfits…but… would actually be sexy frogWOmen!
They try to drown him and he fights back, struggling with the sexy rubberwomen underwater… 😉
Or imagine Mannix to be a female detective… whatever you like best.
The scuba gear is near perfection for me here. The black rubber wetsuit in combination with hoods and double hose regulators were always my favorite since …a certain movie 😉
And it would be so awesome to have sexy, evil frogwomen in such a scuba fight!
–
Ok, back to the scene:
Well, these two really screw up big time! They are two against one. They have a complete set of scuba gear, he has nothing at all, but manages to win the fight.
I guess they wanted to make it look like he drowned, otherwise they could have used their knives…. or they underestimated him.
However, it’s not so easy to pull down a buoyant body down, even they are two.
But they fail to control him so he can temporarily “throw” one frogman out of the fight and is able to fight against one.
I love how he rips off the complete hose from the first stage. Hard to say how realistic that is…. but I think it is possible…perhaps.
And he actually rips it off the intake port, which is on the right side of the tank/first stage. Air is streaming out of it….
Then they actually cheat as suddenly the hose is ripped off from the left side of the tank/first stage. Obviously, the air is free-flowing and the diver is losing air, but with this trick, he still can breathe, so the stunt diver is quite safe.
Seemingly the diver in the scene then immediately drowns, which is quite odd as he isn’t out of air for long and Mannix was underwater longer without air. He is never seen again afterward.
The second diver then finally grabs his knife to kill Mannix, but well… he loses the struggle with Mannix and also his knife to him.
–
All in all, I really like this scene as it’s a great template if you have a little fantasy…. 😉
P.S.: The same two divers actually kidnap a woman from a boat and force a scuba tank on her earlier in the episode!
But….tragically…. that story gets only told….not shown on the screen! DAMN IT!
What I would give to have that scene in full colors…..
There are 4 seasons of this TV show. 3 of them were filmed in color. Sadly this is from the first season 🙁
However, I really love that scene despite some flaws!
Thankfully they had a female diver to play the role and didn’t use a male to play her action part as they often did in the 50s and 60s.
A really big minus point for me is how passive she is. But well, fits the time in which this was shot.
She basically does nothing. She doesn’t defend herself and she doesn’t attack him at any time! She did have quite some opportunities to attack him, but she is basically a Scubadoll in a rubber suit 😆
She just holds onto him while he is occupied with her tank harness, she could easily rip off his mask or rip out his regulator! Yes, she doesn’t have her scuba mask, but he is so close in front of her, that she should be able to see him well enough.
The fact that she doesn’t need her tank to breathe underwater is a minus point as well, but you can easily change that in your fantasy 😉
If I remember the backstory right she has the special ability to breathe underwater.
The bad guys are using her as a weapon to fight the submarine of the good guys. Her tank is actually an explosive device.
I love how the guy immediately goes for her mask to blind her (temporarily). He knows what he is doing.
It’s very rare to have an unmasked woman in such a scuba fight scene.
Her “unmasked” face looks quite sexy…
He has to get rid of her explosive “tank” and therefore he strips her of her scuba tank as well and thereby she also loses her regulator (that she needs in my fantasy).
The explosion hits her, and she is unconscious for the moment.
The naughty frogman takes ….advantage…. of that:
Damn, that stunt diver(?) really had a great time! I guess they had to repeat some of these scenes quite often 😆
I added the scene where she is unconscious and gets carried around in the submarine as that is quite sexy as well.
Again I played around with the simple tool to colorize one picture:
Yeah, not exactly a great result but at least better than the black and white version.
Pretty sure that is the Voit logo on his chest. Look like they used the same suits later on in Thunderball (different colors).
This episode actually aired earlier in the same year as Thunderball did (1965).
I had heard about this one some years ago, checked it, and didn’t think I would make a post of it one day.
But well, the taste can change and I know that many folks here will like this scene, even though there is no scuba diving in it and it is also black and white.
Preview:
He is quite….
…happy with what he is seeing 😉
No, don’t pay attention to him…
….check out what is happening around you!

Here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue!
Ok, it clearly isn’t summer, and the two women were wearing these rubber wetsuits under their thick (winter) clothes?
Wow, they must be burning up in these suits…plus it isn’t comfortable to run around much in these suits! But perhaps they like that? 😉
Plus running around like that, other folks nearby might think you smell like rubber, even the wetsuit is hidden under the other clothes 😆
I wouldn’t mind swapping places with any of these two guys. Especially with the guy who drives the boat. Sounds like great fun with these wetsuited babes in tow!
The movie itself seems rather…bizarre….and has no other scenes of relevance to this blog.
But I do like this scene, even though it is black and white which is a big minus for me.
I played with a colorizing website and here are two pictures in color:
(click to enlarge)
Yeah, a little better, even the results aren’t very good.
–
By the way:
The woman who is pouring water into/onto her wetsuit is young Charlotte Rampling!
You can spot her in color and inside an even sexier wetsuit in this post:
Damn, how MUCH I envy that guy! And the film crew….
Ok, I am not the biggest fan of the collars on their suits and the same goes for their bathing caps.
But besides that…they look …quite….AWESOME! These tight, wet rubber wetsuits are incredibly sexy for me.
Not to forget the stunning ladies inside these suits 😉
If I would be that guy….there would be a second tent on that camping site very quickly, and that one wouldn’t need to be assembled 😆
Don’t know how I would manage to stay in my role if I would be the actor. I mean you can maybe think about taxes and golf…and try to NOT watch in their direction, but that won’t work for long.
Of course, it would have been great to have these two in a scuba scene, no luck there.
Nevertheless, this scene is an absolute classic!
–
And as a little bonus (thanks to allmanzor!) here is a nice picture of them on set:
Today I wanna post a full HD video with proper text for this sexy scene!

Our frogwoman in rubber
She spots….DANGER!
Where is the frogwoman in this picture? 😉
Back on surface!

And here is the video:
–
As you can see I made some cuts in the last part of the video. Well, I wanted to keep the length of the video to a certain size and besides that, she isn’t in these scenes that I cut out.
I recommend watching the whole movie if you like movies like Jaws. This one is pretty good and it has one GREAT feature for me: A fantastic score by grandmaster Ennio Morricone which really makes this movie stand out in comparison to others of this genre (+good actors).
Ok, back to this scene.
Her whole scuba gear is pretty close to perfection to me! This vintage wetsuit just looks awesome 🙂
Ok, I would prefer a vintage double hose regulator for her, but that classic single hose regulator is very nice as well.
From today’s point of view, it looks rather….odd, that she (who is a marine biologist) is hiding between the rocks as a shark approaches. But ok, a great white shark does look menacing, even he is not nearly as dangerous in reality as in the movies. But back in the old days nearly everyone thought that all sharks would be very dangerous, especially after Jaws.
However, it’s a thrilling scene to see her squeeze herself between these rocks.
It’s a fun scene later on as well, as the rough captain yells at the diver (he thought it was a man) and she then pulls back her hood to reveal her long hair.
Yeah, that sight of her in that wetsuit made him speechless for a moment.
Who could blame him? 😉
Charlotte Rampling did look pretty good back then. She was around 30 as the movie was shot, and that wetsuit is just very sexy.
In my version, she would hide from the shark as well but would damage her air hose as she would leave the rocks. Even that would be hard to do in a realistic fashion. Perhaps it got stuck there 😉
So, with the shark close by and her losing a lot of air…. you would have a little more thrill! 😉
Thanks to the nice guy who recommended me this one!
The whole movie is actually available on Youtube (for now) and I will give you the link later on, but first I wanna present my special cut of this scene, that you should watch first 😉
Here is a preview:
She is….overheating 😉
Time to get into…
…the water!
Defusing a mine!
(click to enlarge)
–
And here is my special Frogwoman cut (every second of them included):
–
Well…….WTF?!
These scenes alone raise so many questions….
Well, hard to say why they are using these huge scuba tanks (even a double tank) in the first place as a snorkel might have done the job here as well as they don’t have to dive.
But ok, of course, I prefer them wearing scuba tanks.
And wow, never seen such a “red” face on a female scuba diver in a movie 😆
But I guess it was shot in the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico and running around on land with these temperatures, in such a wetsuit, while carrying those heavy tanks……
I guess this was really exhausting and they were sweating like hell in their suits.
Back to the scene: They are swimming to that mine with most likely the task to defuse it.
I don’t see them having any tools for that. I wonder how they are planning to defuse it? Or is there an ON/OFF switch on that thing? 😆
Ok, I admit, I didn’t see the whole movie as I don’t speak Spanish, and even if I would I wouldn’t do it from the scenes that I saw.
The underwater sounds sound very familiar, I think these are generic sound underwater effects and weren’t from this scene at all!
But well, the mine goes off for some reason and they are seemingly dead? No one could survive such an explosion close by.
One of them is shown twitching around underwater, as her body seems intact after the explosion of that huge sea-mine…. oh my….
Why this mine needed to be defused this quickly that they have to jump from the ship while being fired upon….I don’t know.
Perhaps someone can solve this and the other mysteries.
–
Here is the whole movie with the correct timing to jump into the insane action:
(not my upload….. hopefully, it will stay on Youtube)
–
Well…. again…..WTF?!?!
Isn’t that navy ship armed in any way? No small cannons, no AA guns, no machine guns, no nothing? Hard to believe… but they are only using their assault rifles to fire upon the bad guys.
Also, the navy guys and girls should be in a big advantage. They are on the big ship, can use cover there (what they are mostly not doing), are better equipped, and still have so many problems in fighting off some goons in their small boats?!?
What I don’t understand at all is….why are all these people just shacking their guns and pretending to fire upon each other???????
It looks like small kids would play with each other in kindergarten 😆
I mean, they used this ship, a helicopter, all these boats, had these rifles…… but then no money to buy some blanks???
This way the whole action looks ridiculous² …
This movie is mainly about a female squad of navy soldiers.
Back in 1990 as this movie was made, this was rather unusual.
So, is this movie perhaps feministic?
Well, quite the opposite in my opinion!
I mean most of them are portrayed rather incompetent (for example: the way they hold their rifles) and often are completely hysterical.
This is a rather horrible and sexist way to portray them. Well, Mexico in 1990…. I am not surprised. (wouldn’t be much different in most other countries at that time)
But enough of that, it works as an (unintentional) comedy for me…
The wetsuits are very nice, I wish there would be more and better footage of the frogwomen underwater.
What a missed chance….you have 2 navy frogwomen in sexy black wetsuits(!!!!) ….and then no enemy divers to fight against? DAMN!
