Thanks a lot to the guy who recommended me this one!
It is a rather unusual one, but it has some interesting elements for sure.
4 heavily armed gangsters on boats are fighting against 2 (submerged) frogwomen! Who will win?

The bad guys…
….VS the frogwomen!
They are ready…
…to fight!

Watch the video before you continue!
I don’t know the background story behind this as I only watched the first episode of the first season 2 years ago.
If someone knows the background story… feel welcome to leave a comment!
Let’s start with the negative aspects… in my opinion.
There is some rather bad CGI involved. The whole scene with one of the frogwomen firing her two flare guns looks pretty cheap.
It looks weird and the sound of the guns is a little off. I so much prefer when they are shooting for “real” with blanks. Looks and sounds much better!
Quite a miracle that the 4 didn’t manage to score any hits on the two with these weapons.
*EDIT* Well, thanks to a video a nice user provided (check the comments) I now know that these bullets are actually already harmless after just a few feet of water.
Yeah, they can’t see them, but they see bubbles and they must have hit them with some luck with all these weapons.
On the good side…. I really like this scenario, very unusual stuff! The closeups with the frogwomen are good and it’s nice to have such an action scene, even if they are just fighting over distance.
A shame that the bad guys didn’t have some scuba gear to join the underwater action 😉
I edited these scenes and cut out all the stuff that happens on the boat. There is a pregnant friend of them there who is about to give birth….
The eye patch is a nice aspect as well, pretty unique. Interesting that she has a different one for scuba diving than she has on land.
They are running around in their wetsuits for a long time but I wanted to have a video under 3 minutes since videos from Netflix shows get quickly banned on Youtube… if they are too “long”.
But I included the end scene here to show them “unmasked” without hoods and masks, sort of a reveal at the end 😉

Wanna know from what episode of which show this is?
“…. and it involves one female diver against 4 male divers. The female diver also surfaces and fights men on a boat.”
Well, for a moment I was really thrilled! A female diver fights against 4 male divers??? Or even 5 if I’m counting right… Sounds great, sounds awesome!
But then I thought…. well, why don’t I know that scene after 900 years of searching for such scenes? And I got a really bad feeling…. 😉
Here is a preview:
Ready…
…for…
…underwater action!
Someone has a bad day…

And here is the video from hell:
–
Well….. OH MY GOD!!! Or rather… WTF!!!
Ok, you have a frogwoman heroine and several evil divers…. and they actually do fight underwater…. and THIS is the result of the filming?
ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!
I’m not sure if I should laugh my ass off or break down in tears…. or both.
A perfect example of how to totally ruin potential great scenes 🙁
Some folks (not me) are complaining that the scuba battles in Thunderball are too long and “slow” as the water slows down the action.
I also remember that the director of the Thunderball remake “Never say never again” was also no fan of underwater fights.
So, perhaps the director of this “movie” thought about how he could make these fights more intense and with more speed (in his opinion).
And his solution was seemingly to just increase the playback speed… of many action scenes (even on land).
Well, the result is laughably bad… in my opinion… and totally ruins these scenes.
The murky water is also a problem and they seemingly had no underwater lights at all…
In the end, I can’t enjoy these underwater fights at all and am really annoyed afterward.
The wetsuit of the frogwoman is uninteresting and very loose… I guess so the actress/stunt woman could do her martial arts moves. Quite a turn-off.
I’m 99% sure that these scenes were partially cut, as we don’t see the first two frogmen get hit by the spear, but well…. cut or not cut… all hope is lost here.
Oddly enough a german DVD of this “movie” is released in a few days for very little money, guess I will buy that one for the scuba collection as a perfect example on how to NOT do a scuba fight scene.
There are no more scuba scenes with her in this one.
Here are 2 brand-new scuba scenes from a new TV episode.
And these scenes do contain some serious action 😉
I won’t tell you more to not spoil you too much, check out the video!
Preview, Scene 1:
There she is….
….exploring the depths!
But she isn’t alone!
Two frogmen are hunting her!

Preview, Scene 2:
The scuba instructor and the Detective 🙂
They are on a dive as suddenly….

And here is the video with both scenes:
–
Hmh, as much as I appreciate new material with scuba action and peril…..this could have been done much better.
Some remarks on the scenes:
-The bad guys were strange suits…. pretty ironic/weird/unusual that they were completely white(!!!) 😆
-I am not 100% sure, but I don’t think someone would immediately die from such a hit with a spear gun in that region of the body, but she was doomed as she was hit for sure
-The bad guys not only seem to have reserve spears (pretty unusual) they know how to reload them real quickly while chasing after someone…..odd….
-In the 2nd scene they show up again and fire and the good guys…but what happens then? Are they too slow to follow them? How did they not hit them with their spearguns?
However, the first scene is pretty unusual as it shows a frogwoman getting killed by a spear gun. That is extremely rare!
In my version that would have chased her without spear guns. They would have had a rather short battle and one of them would have sliced her air hose and drowned her
Later in the episode, the other frogwoman and the detective would have battled them in a long scuba fight. 😉
In the end, the frogmen would get what they deserve….

Wanna know from which TV show or movie this was taken?
So, today I edited a really long video for you folks. It’s a little over 10 minutes and incl. a nice scuba battle. Not as big as in “thunderball” but with 2 frogwomen included 😉
A helpful user of this blog pointed me to the fact that this one was missing here on the blog. Already knew the movie, but he’s right! Thanks for the help, much appreciated!
