Two rubber frogwomen in a crazy James Bond rip-off movie

by

I saw this one ages ago but never thought about making a post about it.

But well, it deserves one for sure!

In the 60’s some agent named James Bond (you may have heard about him ;-)) started a landslide of Spy movies.

In a lot of countries, they started their own spy movies, more or less successful.

This one is quite special….for sure. And a perfect example to have some really great ingredients but to FAIL big time in the end (especially in terms of scenes we would like to see).

Preview:

And here are the scenes:

Link

(it wasn’t welcome on Youtube, which is quite funny/ironic as this movie is stealing music and whole scenes from other movies :lol:)

–

Ok, easy Siggi, calm down…..don’t get….too angry…..easy…….

OH MY GOD! What are these morons doing? …….. Breathe…..

The wasted potential on this one is …quite…GIGANTIC!

Let’s start at the beginning. You have the villain and a henchwoman. Unlike in Thunderball the henchwoman here actually gets into scuba gear, into a sexy black rubber wetsuit.

Ok, she is not as hot as Fiona Volpe….but…..that is nearly impossible to manage anyhow 😉

But what happens then? They go into the water….. and then…..they show up at some underwater base in wet wetsuits. No diving scene with her! A real shame.

She looks quite sexy in her wetsuit, even in black and white. Sadly most of us here don’t understand what they are talking about.

That henchwoman gets assigned to seduce and kill the “Bond” of this movie but gets killed in the end, very much like Fiona Volpe in Thunderball. They were really “inspired” by that one 😆

Then we have a hot good frogwoman who fires with some weird gun (air pistol?!? Oh boy…..) at the evil henchman. She is seen in full gear….so, I think we will see her diving!

Well…..actually….no! WHAT? WHY?!?! She gets into all that gear…and her wetsuit doesn’t even get wet (from the outside at least).

I’m really angry at this moment at the movie….and now it gets really weird.

There is a scuba fight going on between the hero and one evil diver that is COPIED completely out of this movie/scene (which I cut out here):

https://frogwoman.org/the-sneaky-frogwoman-in-rubber

!!!

And now they did not remake it, it is the SAME scene!!!! They just copied (parts of) the underwater fight from the other movie into this one!

And seemingly no one had big issues with it as this version still exists like that.

But’s that not all. They even use a lot of the Thunderball soundtrack that they just use in their movie.

The usage of James Bond music in other movies isn’t completely new to me as I saw for example a Mexican movie with a lot of Bond music from the ’60s.

But using whole scenes….that is…stealing….on a whole new level 😆

It drives me crazy that the whole movie has two frogwomen in rubber that are never seen in the water at all! How great would it be if the good frogwoman would dive and then stumble upon the evil henchwoman! We could have had a great scuba fight…but no, not even anything close to that.

But well, in the end….we have two women in great vintage scuba gear….and that is something for sure! 🙂

But still ….I’m getting angry at this movie… 😆

The Bond girls of …Thunderball! [Behind the scenes]

by

A nice guy on a forum recommended me a certain video that was reviewing a James Bond documentary from 1965.

So, if you read 1965 you already may think of Thunderball as that was its release year. 😉

Well, the documentary actually deals with the first 4 Bond movies…incl. Thunderball.

In the documentary, you get some really nice scenes with the three major Bond girls of Thunderball.

As you (should) know there is only one scuba scene with Domino (Claudine Auger) in the movie.

In this documentary, there are some promo shots of the girls in bathing suits, bikini, and even wetsuits!

Let’s start with the most interesting part of the documentary you can find in the video below.

And here is the video:

–

Well, with that kind of narration …you wouldn’t get away with it today 😉

But I like the voice, very fitting.

Sadly that was everything to find in this documentary related to the Bond girls in Thunderball. But it is very interesting material after all! 🙂

It’s great to see the women on the set in such outfits. Seeing Domino in wetsuit…in a nice glimpse in the department of “What could have been”.

And I still imaging Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) in a black Spectre rubber wetsuit in the final scuba battle of the movie 😉

That would have been a proper ending for her.

Also in quite some footage, you see Paula (Martine Beswick) in action scenes against Spectre divers who seemingly wanna kidnap or kill her.

Sadly, they didn’t give her these kinds of scenes in the movie.

 

Here is some additional promo footage of these Bond girls:

WANTED: “The Incredible World of James Bond” (documentary)

by

Thanks to a nice guy on a forum I was pointed towards a youtube video in which I learned that there is a documentary TV special “The Incredible World of James Bond” from 1965 to promote the Bond movies and to keep the hype up about the franchise who was at an all-time high back then.

This is the IMDB page:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0438106

 

There seems to be quite a lot of Thunderball behind the scenes snippets in it, so I would LOVE to see the whole thing!

I tried any source to get my hands on this documentary, but no luck.

So, has anybody perhaps an idea where to get it?

It wasn’t ever released on any media as I think. Perhaps it was put as a special on a DVD or Blu-ray of a James Bond movie, but I haven’t found any proof of that.

So, if anyone has a nice link…. please use the contact form to get in touch with me!

Or leave a comment below!

If the video quality is ok, I would say I would like to offer 3 free months for the VIP club as a reward.

I already made a nice little “Thunderball bond girls on set” video out of the making of and the video mentioned above that I will post shortly.

But with the full documentary, I think I can make a better and longer video…..

–

*EDIT*

Case closed as I got a hint by a nice guy about where to get that documentary!

Guess I will make a post about the Thunderball girls with some behind the scenes footage Sunday next week.

R.I.P. Sir Sean Connery

by

[1st post for today]

–

Yesterday was a very sad day.

Legendary Sir Sean Connery passed away on the Bahamas, aged 90.

I have quite a lot of his movies in my collection and he played a part in many fantastic movies like the James Bond movies, A Bridge too far, Indiana Jones and the last Crusade, the Untouchables and many more.

I could write a lot more about his other movies, but after all this blog is named Frogwoman, so why am I posting about him?

Well, the answer is quite simple:

(the french Thunderball poster – click to enlarge)

–

The movie Thunderball influenced a LOT of people to get into scuba diving.

Sadly there was only one short scene were a woman actually scuba dives (Claudine Auger, who passed away in December last year).

But the movie offers over 30 minutes of underwater scenes and still -after over 50 years- the best scuba fight scenes in history!

I can’t possible tell how often I watched the movie and certain scenes of it.

Again I could write here endlessly about certain scenes…..but as a matter of fact…I already did.

You are welcome to check out my detailed Thunderball section here on the blog!

R.I.P. Sir Sean Connery!

Thank you for everything!

You will be missed, but you will live on in all of these great movies 🙂

P.S.: As I wrote he died on his house on the Bahamas.

And that is were they filmed most of the scenes of Thunderball.

Female game show participant jumps out of a plane with an oxygen mask [Blog exlusive]

by

Today I won’t show a scene with a female diver…today I wanna show a great scene with a woman in an oxygen mask!

Yeah, it would fit on my other Blog as well, but I put it here because, much like a diver, she needs the oxygen to survive in a dangerous enviroment.

That’s why I post scenes with gas masks and oxygen masks here.

For a game show she has to do a high altitude jump.

She needs the oxygen mask to survive and tries it on before the jump.

I know most of you don’t speak german, but you may enjoy the scene anyhow 😉

And here is the video:

(the video wasn’t welcome on Youtube, so I uploaded it to google drive)

–

I really like who she tries on the oxygen mask with the attached tank. That gear reminded me of a certain co-pilot Angelo who kidnapped a Vulcan Bomber in Thunderball. 😉

And it must be quite the experience to make such a jump, especially from such an altitude!

And I envy the guy who is respnsible for her safety and makes the jump with her 😉

What do you think of that scene?

by

*UPDATE* My 2 ordered books have arrived, I took some pictures. Who wants a freshly printed, Thunderball photobook?

*EDIT* Pictures of the book (examples), ….sorry for the bad lightning in some of them:

In addition to that I included 20 more pictures: posters, set-pictures, promo pictures and so on.

*UPDATE* So, who would like to have such a Thunderball photobook?

I would sell one, still wrapped up copy for 39 Euro 35 Euro 29 Euro (won’t go any lower…) (incl. worldwide postage). Payment with Paypal.

The underwater Vulcan scene in Thunderball…. a poll!

by

Most of you know the epic underwater scene with the Vulcan Bomber in Thunderball!

Here is my post in the Thunderball section of this Blog.

–

In my two stories that I wrote about it, I had one woman in each of those versions. One time the pilot was a woman (that gets attacked), in the other version, the scuba diver was a woman (Fiona Volpe).

Now I wonder, which “gender setting” would you prefer?

Please leave your vote!

And feel free to leave a comment as well!

Vulcan down – Version 2 – Angelo VS Fiona [An underwater story with MANY fetish elements]

by

I felt the urge to return to my favorite scenes of the epic James Bond classic THUNDERBALL!

You may know that I already wrote a version of the story with the Vulcan bomber:

Vulcan Down – Version 1 – With a female pilot and a male diver

–

This time I swapped the genders in the story.

I changed some things in comparison to the orginal Thunderball story, but like in the original Angelo is sitting in the seat of the hijacked Vulcan.

–

Before my story starts… I changed a few things:

  • Fiona Volpe chose Angelo (Palazzi) to impersonate the “original” Major Francois Derval
  • While she seduced Derval and was observing him closely she although had a wild affair with Angelo as well. He couldn’t resist the wild and sexy red head, and they enjoyed a couple of nights together.
  • Angelo didn’t blackmail SPECTRE for more money
  • Fiona Volpe is leading a team of SPECTRE frogwomen, while Largo is still in command (but he doesn’t dive)

So, Fiona Volpe, in her full SPECTRE scuba gear will meet Angelo at the sunken Vulcan Bomber.

 

The story contains (not in that order 😉 ):

  • rubber wetsuits and hoses
  • 2 extremely horny folks
  • scuba peril
  • scuba fights
  • gassing
  • underwater sex
  • bondage elements
  • breath control play
  • and various “drowning peril” elements

New Thunderball videos!

by

I wanna show two Thunderball videos (not from me this time) that V has recommended me (THANKS a lot)!

–

In the first you can see the famous “Bond VS spectre diver” scene in that underwater cave without music (score)! That means you can only hear the sounds (breathing, bubbles, moaning)….check it on page 3 of my thunderball project! (the 2nd video on that page).

–

And the second video is some material about the premiere of Thunderball and some behind the scenes stuff. In the video you will see the famous scenes (that weren’t in the movie) with Paula Caplan (Martine Beswick) and the SPECTRE frogmen that attack her. And in “moving” pictures!

(around 1:30 in the video)

–

Ok, just in black and white. But I never saw these scenes in a video…”just” on pictures.

–

What do you think about these videos?
