scuba peril

A vintage frogwoman with a fake scuba tank gets attacked by a male diver! [Blog exclusive]

by

Time to finally post about this classic scene!

In the past, this was blocked immediately by Youtube (back in the early days of the blog) so I more or less forgot to make a post about it.

Here is a long cut of this scene in good video quality.

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 ๐Ÿ™

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 ๐Ÿ˜†

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

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 ๐Ÿ˜†

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).

The Frogwoman and the shark [UPGRADE]

by

And another classic scene that deserves to get a decent UPGRADE!

This was the old post:

Today I wanna post a full HD video with proper text for this sexy scene!

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 ๐Ÿ™‚

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? ๐Ÿ˜‰

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

So, with the shark close by and her losing a lot of air…. you would have a little more thrill! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Black Widow โ€“ Female diver runs out of air! โ€“ [Hall of Fame – UPGRADE]

by

(….not the movie with Scarlett Johansson ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

Time to make another UPGRADE post with one of the best scuba peril scenes!

The old one had an SD video with about 4 minutes and basically no text.

Now I wanna present you with an HD video with over 7 minutes and a proper text alongside it!

If you don’t know these scenes already…I do envy you!

Let’s start with some preview pictures:

Damn, I love that scene! So thrilling, so sexy!

Actress Theresa Russell, here “Catharine, the villainess”, looks gorgeous. Those legs in that high-cut wetsuit top…. oh boy….

Even though, the damn BCD vests are annoying and are obscuring the view.

Debra Winger, here “Alexandra” does a great job here as well.

I love the moment where she realizes that she doesn’t get any air anymore (or very little) and desperately sucks on her regulator.

She checks her air supply, and the pressure gauge shows that she should have air left.

She should now check immediately for her buddy and then make an emergency ascend when she doesn’t see her.

She just grabs onto her mouthpiece and slowly ascends, but ok, she has no scuba experience… no wonder she behaves like that.

The struggle between the two is cut sometimes a little odd, but it’s very intense and very sexy for me.

I’m still not 100% sure if Alexandra pulls out her own regulator or if Catharine is yanking it out of Alexandra’s mouth.

Pretty sure it’s the latter, as we can see Catharine’s hand reaching for it, before the cut.

The moment as Alexandra is without her regulator and both are staring at each other…..is awesome! Her villainous eyes starring at her victim….

Catharine hesitates for a long moment before she finally gives her her regulator….. very interesting ๐Ÿ˜‰

 

Some backstory for those who don’t know the movie (you should watch it):

Minor spoilers ahead!

Catharine has the habit of marrying rich guys who then mysteriously die under weird circumstances ๐Ÿ˜‰

Alexandra works for the FBI and investigates.

The two become friends more or less.

Catharine finds out that Alexandra is working for the FBI…. before this scuba scene.

So, she manipulates Alexandra’s scuba gear (not shown) so she would run out of air before her pressure gauge would show that.

–

So, we can speculate a little on Catharine’s moves after Alexandra runs out of air.

I would say she tries to stop her from ascending as she wants to drown her to get rid of her.

Catharine then fights so that Alexandra can’t ascend. It’s hard to say how far they are down….perhaps Alexandra wouldn’t have a chance, hard to say.

In the magic moment as Alexandra is without her regulator I think Catharine is thinking about what to do.

I mean she is the one who still has air and Alexandra is about to drown quickly.

In my opinion, Alexandra has then a change of heart and gives Alexandra her life-giving regulator.

A decision that she might regret later on… ๐Ÿ˜‰

After that Alexandra suspects that her scuba gear was manipulated….

One of my absolute favorites!

Great job by the sound department here as well. Love the sounds during the struggle ๐Ÿ™‚

 

In my version, the finale of the movie would have been a scuba fight between the two…. a scuba fight to the death!

Here is a nice poster:

Here is the IMDB page of the movie:

IMDB-link

P.S.:

I don’t know how it was handled in the 80s, but nowadays two newly certified divers shouldn’t/wouldn’t go on a dive alone.

They would need an experienced diver on their side.

And they also should have been at the surface again with that kind of oxygen reserve…but ok…

–

A short anecdote about the first time I saw this movie:

I was on holiday on some Mediterranean island in the mid-’90s as a teenager and it was late and the TV in the hotel room was on.

You could see several German TV stations there.

And there I saw a trailer from a TV station for this movie several days before the airing.

And the scuba scene was shown there as well, ok, only bits of it….but these bits got me excited big time!

I couldn’t wait to see that movie…. back then, TV airings, cinemas, and VHS tapes were the only chance to see such scenes.

Farrah Fawcett fights for her life….in scuba gear! [UPGRADE]

by

Another UPGRADE post for you folks!

As I was checking the old post I also checked if there was a source with better video quality available….and yes, it was!

This one is from a widescreen HD TV airing, and it’s quite an improvement over the old one, even the recording itself wasn’t done in HD (why???).

And this time I include every second of her wearing that wetsuit/shorty.

Also, I wanna have a proper text included with this classic scene.

This is the old post:

Quite a scene!

She was caught by surprise, her mask not in place yet, she gets pulled underwater.

Good timing by the sneaky attacker. She does manage to get the regulator on her mouth (it wasn’t as she still was on the boat).

But he is at a big advantage now as she doesn’t have a scuba mask anymore.

He goes for her regulator and steals it from her! As often in such scenes, she doesn’t try to get it back, which I always find a little odd.

The scene is cut quite weird with showing the grabbing hands of the attacker several times for example.

I read that the scene here where she is about to drown wasn’t acted as Farah Fawcett really inhaled water and was about to drown!

Of course, that wasn’t planned to happen, but as you can see, they decided to leave that scene in the movie.

It’s bad that it happened to her, that must have been quite a horrible experience!

But somehow I can understand why the scene was left in the movie…I mean no one would have gained anything if it wasn’t left in the movie.

This way it was a very realistic scene in this scuba attack….even it was way too realistic for Farrah Fawcett.

What happens with the attacker? Suddenly his scuba mask is gone and quickly he completely vanishes from the scene….

 

Another error in this scene:

She runs with her scuba tank to catch up to the others. Here a double hose regulator is attached to her tank.

Underwater she suddenly is using a single hose regulator….. #magic

 

All in all a good scene, even it could have been improved by a better cutting.

Farrah Fawcett looks really stunning in this shorty/wetsuit.

Hmh, not easy to get this one on DVD, especially outside the US, will try to get my hands on it to add it to my collection!

The frogwoman in her anti-shark suit and evil divers in business suits

by

I know this scene for a long time and never really thought of making a post about it.

Last year a nice guy recommended me this one again and mentioned that there was a longer cut of this movie that contained much more scuba scenes than the standard cut.

I checked it and still wasn’t sure if I would make a post about it. I mean the overall tone is just very goofy.

The downside is that the extended cut isn’t available in really good quality, at least to my knowledge. But better to have more scuba scenes here ๐Ÿ˜‰

The scuba scenes here are very long and mostly focused on the male main character.

So, I decided to make a video with all her scenes, a frogwoman cut of the scenes ๐Ÿ˜‰

Preview:

And here is the video:

–

Watch the video before you continue!

I included some scenes with her out of her anti-shark suit as you can see.

All in all some nice scenes, especially like the scene where the evil diver yanks off her mask to steal the little tank from her (that contains something everyone is after).

A shame that this whole tone is so goofy and that there is never any real danger (for the good guys) as this here is basically more a comedy than everything else at this point.

The scene where Jackie Chan uses her (and her suit) as a shield against the bad guy with the huge knife is quite nice as well. Certainly a unique scene.

Pretty hilarious that he kicks her then and she “flies” some meters through the water ๐Ÿ˜†

 

*EDIT* Thanks to a nice user and his comment I wanna post the picture right here in the post:

Yeah, she looks quite stunning in her wetsuit and bikini….

A female scuba murderer? [+BONUS scene]

by

Now to a mysterious TV episode!

We have 3 divers and a scuba murderer!

But who was it? That’s the question!

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Watch the episode before you continue!

Ok, I watched the whole episode of this TV show. But in the end, I was pretty confused….

But let’s start at the beginning.

At first, I was sure that she was the killer! She smiled somehow triumphantly as she entered the boat after the dive. She had gloves, unlike her boyfriend….and the killer was wearing gloves.

Later on in the episode, another murder like this happens, it is just the same…. a surprise attack with a rock from behind.

Then a guy is presented as the potential killer. But did he kill both scuba divers? The ending of the episode is so confusing, that I’m not 100% sure who actually killed these 2 divers.

Well, I’m 90% sure that this guy was the killer (he was on another boat nearby)….but I like the idea of her being the villainous murderer ๐Ÿ˜‰

And the murderer in the picture above looks rather slim for a guy…

But perhaps someone who watched the whole episode also can enlighten us!

 

What is really annoying for me is that all the divers in this scene are wearing basically the same gear in the same colors.

I hate it when that happens as you then can only guess who is who….especially when there are no closeups to the face underwater.

But ok, here it is used to confuse the audience so that you would suspect either one, the woman, or her boyfriend to be the murderer.

Yeah, I know they can cover a lot more ground with 3 divers in different areas, but it’s very irresponsible that everyone here is diving alone.

But ok, the murder was only possible this way…

–

*EDIT*, February 14:

As a BONUS for the folks who visit the blog, here is the 2nd scene I was talking about…

 

So, who was the murderer?

I leave that up to your fantasy…or maybe one of you has the answer after watching the whole episode….

The frogwoman who got trapped under a buoy

by

[1st post for today]

That’s quite difficult to do …. but this vintage frogwoman did get trapped under a buoy ๐Ÿ˜‰

Time for a new video outside “Project F”.

In this one, we go back to the 60s to a TV show with a friendly dolphin.

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

The first version of the video was a little over 6 minutes but it was blocked in most countries. I edited the video down to slightly under 4 minutes and that was then seemingly ok for Youtube.

–

Yeah, I don’t get how she managed to get trapped under that thing but ok. ๐Ÿ˜†

And normally she should be able to get out…or would have some serious injuries, but seemingly she doesn’t have a scratch.

Yeah, it’s a TV show for kids…

But it’s a nice peril scene in vintage gear even I would have preferred her wearing a rubber wetsuit as that would have fit to the 60s perfectly.

I am not a fan of these bathing caps, but I know that some are.

All in all a solid scene.

The scene and the end is pretty funny…
