Let me be the first to throw a topic out there...I recently watched the Black Scorpion DVDs and was mildly surprised by the content. Ms. Lintel is EXTREMELY hot in and out of costume...The show really did manage to capture the hokey feel of the old Batman shows. Alas, it was cancelled, but maybe down the road they will release more films direct to video

It was heartbreaking that the Black Scorpion series lasted only
one season. I cannot understand why it did not last longer.

The two Black Scorpion TV movies (Showtime, I believe) were
apparently successful, but the ratings of the TV series with
Michell Lintel apparently were not good.

When I first read that it would become a TV series it almost
blew me away. Too good to be true.
It was a perfect series for Superheroine fans who like the knockout
genre. In a couple of episodes Black Scorpion got knocked out
3 times.
There were few of the 22 episodes in which she did not get
knocked out at least once.
To say that Michelle Lintel is HOT is an understatement. Great legs,
great body in a skimpy superheroine outfit. Doesn't get any
better than that.
Only downside to the action is following her knockouts there were
never any carry scenes.
Most of the villians she fought were female and a good many times
the villains won.

Every episode was exciting as we anticipated the knockout.
To me the best fight scene was with Aerobicide. It occurred in the
first 2 minutes of the episode and after a very good hand to hand
fist fight, Aerobicide knocked Scorpion out cold with one good
hard punch to the chin.

Good action packed series. So sad it didn't last longer.

Michelle Lintel has dropped out of sight. Anyone know where or
what she is doing?

Part of the reason that this series didn't last long was the production was horrible. They shot quickly and didn't bother to get things completely right..However, that didn't matter to me at all, as a fan. I also don't think the sci-fi network gave it a chance.. They kept bouncing it around in their schedule, and the time slots were never good. Apparently if you are not travelling in space, the sci - fi network does not deem you worthy. :smt076

I do know what happened to her, but you aren't going to like the answer. She gave up acting and is getting more involved with her church...I think I am going to cry..

I heard the same thing happened to Lynda Carter after the
Woman Woman series. She got religious and would not wear
any skimpy outfits after that.

A few months after Wonder Woman was cancelled she was in a
Lynda Carter special, singing and dancing, etc. The wardrobe
people had several skimpy dance costumes for her to wear in this,
but she said nothing doing. She made 2 or 3 of these and never
wore anything the least bit skimpy, not even shorts.

I think it probably hampered her career. We were accustomed to
seeing those great legs that probably helped her get the Wonder
Woman role in the beginning.

To Phoxy_Brown and others:

If you have DVDs of the Black Scorpion series let me bring your
attention to the episode "Roses are Red"

In the fight scene at the police station Scorpion knocks out
Green Thumb's two friends, then Green Thumb knocks Black
Scorpion out cold with his "blaster".

After she regains consciousness and is getting up off the floor look
closely at her left breast (zoom in) and see if you see what I know
I'm sure I think I am positive I absolutely saw.

Very interesting!!!!!!!!!!

Black Scorpion got knocked out numerous times in those
22 great episodes, sometimes more that once in some of them.

To my recollection she was knocked out more that any TV
superheroine including Xena, Wonder Woman or more than any
female detective/crimefighter like Honey West, Emma Peel, etc.

Does anyone have a favorite knockout of Black Scorpion or any
other heroine you would like to tell us about?

I was quite happy when she got turned into a statue. Too bad it wasn't a little more realistic looking. I would have loved a good waxjob.

It was everything we could ask for. Great costume, great fights, camp feel. I have to agree they missed such great opportunities once she was knocked out to carry her to an impending deathtrap or tie her so the police would get her. They wasted that.

I wish they had the batman like cliffhanger deathtraps for her, it would have been great to see her struggle.

I loved the knockout in the Zodiac episode one, when she is lured into the trap, and faces all four villains. Great punches and kicks in slow motion as she begins to feel the effects and be beaten....very nicely done!!

God I wish Showtime which had good ratings for the movies, would get the series rights and do it again!! they would get great ratings if they give it a chance. Also would love more direct to video movies. Black Scorpion is worth saving!! Wish we could start a buzz to get interest going, now that spiderman is doing well, and supermand and wonderwoman on the way.... Black Scorpion would do well in my opinion.

I agree with the missed opportunities. What a bonehead move by Corman--that's what made the Batman show cool...cliffhanger peril at the end of every episode! Why else make the comparison with the 60s Batman show (not to mention bringing in all the ex-Batman actors)? Michelle Lintel was off-the-charts gorgeous, and she was just ripe for a tying, but that was just not to be....

The only episode where she was "restrained" was sad and pathetic, where she's chained to the wall with unbelievably long chains (and loose), BUT her unmasking was well done (as was her struggle).

But in the end, it's a lost cause to resurrect the show, which was critically lambasted and nobody tuned in after realizing how bad the show was--let's face it, it was a really stupid show despite the fact that Michelle Lintel and the other female villains were insanely hot.

I found myself fast forwarding through much of the episodes. They suffered from ok story lines, some really bad goofy acting, horrible editing, and poor cinematography.

Had they had a better director working with that show, it would have been great. I still think they should try again. Lintel was awesome as Black Scorpion and really, could have done the part justice with a little extra coaching with her acting. She wasn't BAD.

The thing is, the first rule of doing camp, is to not act campy. The situations alone are campy enough. Thats why Batman was a hit. Batman and Robin, and really all the actors, played it straight. It was the choice of colors and camera angles and the dialogue that MADE it campy.

Unfortunately, by season 3, they had crossed that line and there wasn't any hope for the show after that.

Anyway, not to turn this into a Batman thread. I hope someone decides to re-do Black Scorpion. Hell, give it to Whedon!

Glad to see people still talking about Black Scorpion. Michell Lintel
truly a beauty and not a BAD actress. I thought she played this role
very well. I still miss the show and hope it will return as many of you
do. Even someone who is considered a great actor would probably not
appear good in some of these campy roles with scripts that are not
really good.
We do not tune in to a show like Black Scorpion for the acting anyway.
The action is what we enjoy, watching a gorgeous, shapely girl in a
skimpy outfit fighting crooks and hoping and anticipating she gets
knocked unconscious.
I loved those closeups of her face when she was driving the Scorpion-
mobile. Yes, I too hope somebody brings her back.

Yes, i forgot about that nuance. Seeing her masked face close up in the Scorpionmobile as she raced to a crime or fled from police. She was so seriously sexy!

I loved when she got knocked out and placed in the oxygen chamber and the air was being drained. Just wish they added more peril to the scene. Have black scorpion frantically banging the chamber walls looking for any possible means of escape. More like the way they did it with Joan Severance in the first movie. Now that was well done!!

Just imagining if after they knocked out Black Scorpion, they tied her in a chair. Took off her boots and placed her stocking feet on a steel pad. With her wrists tied to the arms of the huge wooden chair, they place a cord in her gloved hand which is attached to a switch will send 50,000 volts though our masked maiden if she lets go. Now they place a hypnotic wheel in front of her masked face...and it begins to put her out...if she gives and and passes out its instant and deadly doom for the black scorpion.....

oh the possiblities that show had.....

I like your descriptions of the beautiful Michell ( off-the-charts-gorgeous)
and (seriously sexy).
Did you ever find yourself anticipating what was going to happen when
Black Scorpion confronted the villain/villainess in the early part of an
episode? You know she is not going to capture them that early in
the episode, so you begin to realize she is going to run into trouble.
This happened numerous times. Remember the Gangster Prankster
episode when she knocked him and his two henchemen out. Still
a half hour left in the show. Sure enough she got careless, started
talking to Argyle,,,,,,,,,,Gangster Prankster woke up, slugged the
shapely Superheroine from behind with a tire tool and laid her out cold
by the airplane. I like to hear the grunt and hear her hit the floor after
a knockout like that. This was a good one, she fell on her back and it
showed a pretty good shot of her while the thugs were running away
when they heard the police sirens.
BRING BACK BLACK SCORPION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God I loved that scene... espcially when Gagster Prankster and his gang wanted to remove her mask!! and Argyle paniced and tried to talk them out of it!!

I lloved how a situation like that was in almost every episode...just wish the villain did not walk away and leave her...should have put her in peril..or tied so when police come she is helpless.

Loved when she was knocked out in the police headquarters by Green Thumb. They leave, but she is still out cold in police headquarters... what if they unmask her? or sub due her in jail... that was a great scene

Yes, truly that was a great scene in the Green Thumb episode.....

What were you thinking at the conclusion of the Zodiac Attack Part I
after the four villians had knocked Black Scorpion out then we see
on the screen, "To be continued"??
While we were waiting for Part II, I was trying to figure out how she
was going to get out of this jam, knocked out and surrounded by
four supervillains.
What would they do with her? I figured there would have to be a
carry scene in Part II especially after Part I concluded with her lying
unconscious. Alas, not to be.
Then I thought probably Argyle would have to be involved in her
rescue. Not to be.

She regained consciousness surprisingly fast after getting clobbered
by the villains. Then she resumed fighting.
That was a good fight scene in Zodiac Part I. Again we were
disappointed because there was no carry scene.

Also I had envisioned they would carry her to a car, then drive her
to a remote part of the countryside. Assuming she was dead they
would stop the car and and throw her out. I could see her rolling
down a gently sloping hillside and regaining consciousness later.
Not to be.
You are right........OH the possibilities that show had.

It looks like the Scorpion really stung you two!

Actually I've been trying to find the Black Scorpion TV series on DVD with no success. Since you two seem to be our resident experts on this sultry siren of the streets, I thought maybe you could help me. Any ideas?

I keep being told it's discontinued with no hope! From your descriptions, this is not something to be missed! Help! :cry:

I just got my copy of the 22 episdoes on Ebay. If you watch ebay is seems that on reasonably regular intervals the series comes up for sale.

I love it. it is certainly worth it and is a very well put together package.

I have had my copy for 6 weeks, and since i have seen two other copies of the entire series go up for sale.

What about when Black Scorpion was lured into the prison and trapped by Stunner in the electric chair?

God i loved when it looked like she was electricuted and Stunner said "Good thing you wore black.... you are dressed for your funeral!!"

What a great villianess line!!

Speaking of great villainess lines, I liked the one in the episode I
believe it was called Angel of Death

There was the fight scene in the church between Black Scorpion and
the Angel. I love this scenario, just the two of them one one one,
no one else around, female vs. female. They had a good fist/kick
fight. Seemed like it was fairly brief.

After Black Scorpion took a couple of kicks to the head she found
herself on the floor and Angel brought both fists down on her head and
laid her out cold.

Towering over the unconscious Black Scorpion, Angel said, "Now that's
what I call being Touched by an Angel. Then she slowly walked away.

Good fight!!! Neat line!

In that fight scene by the car at one point, the Angel knocked
Black Scorpion down to the pavement. Black Scorpion got up and
said, "I may be down but I'm not OUT."
Then Angel picked up a tire tool and we all thought 'Here it comes, the
KNOCKOUT.
It didn't happen then but it did later in the fight at the Church.

How did you like the fight with Aerobicide in the early part of that
episode? Did you think Black Scorpion would get KNOCKED OUT
that soon in the show?
When Aerobicide threw the knockout punch I like the way Black
Scorpion bounced off the cyclone fence then fell on her side OUT
COLD.
That's got to be one of the best scenes in the entire series!!!!!!!!!!!

Something I forgot to mention in my previous post about the fight
between Black Scorpion and Aerobicide.
When Aerobicide threw the KO punch Scorpion bounced off the cyclone fence
so hard she bounced back straight toward Aerobicide so far it looked
like she could have punched her again
Black Scorpion's arms were extended straight up into the air and a
second punch wasn't really necessary. She was probably already
OUT COLD at that point and Aerobicide calmly watched her topple
down on her right side.

That was a terrific angle on Black Scorpion's leg as she lay unconscious.
The scene was very brief though.

"Good thing I went to the gym." says Aerobicide as she and her friends
walked off.

Fight over!!!!!!!!!!! BLACK SCORPION KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AGAIN!!

Thanks for the vidcaps! It's always a good surprise when Hollywood fails to notice their slip ups!

Not to sound like a downer, but as far as fetish appeal goes, it is still my opinion that this show was a great failed experiment.

Michelle Lintel was a beautiful and talented actress who went wasted on this series, and I thought the Black Scorpion character actually developed a sense of credibility (to a level where she is seen as a legitimate superheroine because she actually fought A LOT). Although the action was great, but being a bondage guy, I felt that there were too many fetish opportunities passed and overlooked. I mean, what's a villain who simply leaves the scene after knocking her out? Where are the diabolical (and obligatory) death traps that made the Batman show so infamous? Just my two cents. Sigh....

I FINALLY got the DVD box set after MANY attempts on EBAY and such I saw an opportunity this last time and just grabbed it best thing it is brand new to. I have only begun watching some of the episodes, all in all it was not a bad series and had strong potential, I guess the thing was that it was on SCI FI at the time and really didn't generate a strong fan base. Everyone should write to Roger Corman and ask him to re-consider doing the series again knowing now what can work and such, (stronger writers, etc, better performers and such (don't get me wrong the stories were not that bad some even ingenious it's just that it played to much like a B production and it showed. Who knows he might get lucky and have it air on the CW.

Hi!!

Wow! I'm so glad to finally see so many people talking about Black Scorpion. And with a great deal of attention to details as well, which is the same way I watch it. Let me declare that Black Scorpion is my most favorite TV series! I've seen the TV series over & over for several times now. I was extremely happy when I saw it available for purchase & I'm proud to have it.

The first time I saw it was of course on TV & I was highly taken up by it. I looked forward to it every week with a lot of eagerness. Needles to say I am a HUGE superheroine peril/KO fan. And Black Scorpion had the exact & most suitable settings & background to provide a great series of episodes…

1) A superheroine with a secret ID
2) A pretty face & a good body.
3) A sexy superheroine costume
4) A bold attitude.
5) Ruthless, dangerous, mean villains & vixens
6) And she had lust as well (for her detective partner in particular). I’d say she was pretty horny.
7) Last, but most importantly, she GOT KNOCKED OUT SO OFTEN!!!

Yes, in all the 22 episodes, she got knocked out in almost EVERY episode. In fact, I think there were only about 2 or 3 episodes where she didn't get KO'ed. But to 'make up' up for those, there were quite a few episodes where she got KO'ed more than once! In all, if you take the total amount of episodes, the amount of times she got KO'ed is definitely higher. When you consider the fact that Black Scorpion is a main steam TV production, the amount of times, the frequency & the predictability of her KO's was almost gifting to us superheroine peril fans! Every time there was a fight scene, I always anticipated a KO & I was very rarely disappointed!

The only setback about it was that, unlike for example the Wonder Woman TV series, they didn’t show Black Scorpion unconscious for too long. It was always very abrupt. Even the parts where she wakes up were very quick. And (I say this all the time) the villains are so mean & nasty, but when they manage to subdue Black Scorpion (who is extremely sexy in a hot outfit), they never thought of maybe having some fun...! Ok, lets say I'm asking for too much. But they could have at least taken her somewhere (dragged away/carried/OTS) & left her so that she doesn't try to stop them again. Instead, they always had a big 'villain laugh' & ran off... I mean, come on!!

Another nice thing about the TV series which I really like is that Black Scorpion has a very bold, overconfident attitude. She always confronts her enemies with a lot of courage & speaks very proudly about how she's going to win the fight. That adds a great climax to the part where she gets KO'ed.

I like every scene where she gets KO'ed, but here are a few of my favorite scenes…
When Darcy Walker goes to the beach in a bikini & asks Steve to rub lotion on her back. She even asks him whether he would like her to do the same to him… horny!
When Darcy Walker gets KO'ed in black tights in the scene in from 'Love Burns'. She was very keen to get it on with the fireman later on… that was nice too!
When Clockwise froze her movements (he could have grabbed her stuff!).
I like the part where Green Thumb gassed her (as shown in the above pics).
The part in 'He Who Laughs Last' when Black Scorpion defeats all of the Gangster Prankster's assistants & she carelessly starts talking to Argyle, only to get KO'ed by the Gangster Prankster from behind. She was trying to persuade Argyle & her last lines were "... I won't stand for it!"
The awesome scene where Black Scorpion ends up in a gladiator’s area in 'Virtual Vice'. Even though there wasn’t a proper KO in that scene, it was nice to see her in the midst of all those mid evil thugs.
The scene from 'Bad Sport' where there was an attractive up-skirt showing fight with Slapshot's cheer leader sick kicks, but in the end she gets KO'ed by him from behind. I also like the earlier KO scene in that episode where he lifts her up & threw her to the wall (KO) when Det. Steve Rafferty tells him to 'put her down'.
The KO scene from "Kiss of Death'. It would have great if the Angel of Death actually kissed in the other scene.
Black scorpion getting unmasked in 'Photo Finish'.
The scene in 'Zodiac Attack (1)' where she is ambushed & KO'ed. It was silly that her enemies just kept talking while she got away afterwards.

If you haven't seen the TV series, just so you know, there are plenty more KO’s & sexy scenes from it.

The lines that everybody uses are also very creative. Hence there were all kinds of villains & vixens relating to various themes, the dialogs that were exchanged between Black Scorpion & them were appropriate to their powers & the situations they were in. If you've seen the episodes, you'll know what I mean.

Apart from all that, the TV series as a whole was very sexy. The creators of Black Scorpion clearly tried to make it as sexy as they can & they certainly succeeded.

Many of the camera angles that were used were very 'catchy' if you know what I mean.

Argyle's the girl friend (Veronica) was super hot & of course the mayor's secretary... bomber! I wished that sooner or later, Argyle's girl friend would in some way join Black Scorpion & be her side kick or something... that would've been great! I remember there was an episode (I think it was from 'No Sweat') where Veronica wore this leopard like tights & she was working out next to Argyle. And I never got the fact that Argyle never seemed to notice how hot his girl friend was.

Barbette was an absolute bomb... Man would she have looked in good in a costume... if she could keep it all in...!

Many of the vixens & female side kicks were very hot in good costumes. Some of my favorites were MindBender, Aftershock Slapshot’s side kicks, etc.

I also really hope that Roger Corman would do another series of it. If he does, I certainly hope it'll be similar to the first one.

There are also 3 Black Scorpion movies that have been produced.

Joan Severance starred in the first two.
1) Black Scorpion
2) Black Scorpion 2 (Aftershock)

3) The Sting of the Black Scorpion. Starring Michelle Lintel.

I have the first 2, but I don't know much about the 3rd one.

Joan Severance is extremely hot in the first two! In the the first movie she gets KO'ed twice & in the second one she gets KO'ed only once (as Darcy Walker) as I remember.

I like the surprised look that Black Scorpion (Joan Severance) puts in the second movie in the scenes where the Gangster Prankster sprays acid at her & also when Aftershock sends her power rays at her. Joan Severance looked so shocked & vulnerable as she dodged them!

There are some good make out scenes in those 2 movies. Joan Severance plays a very horny role.

The costume in the first one wasn't very much to my liking... it was a bit different. But in the second one, the costume was more similar to the one Michelle Lintel wore in the TV series.

If anybody knows of any good scenes from the 3rd Black Scorpion movie, please fill us in.

In that 3rd episode you refer to you are not missing anything. That is
only a condensation of a couple other episodes that you have already
seen.

I enjoyed reading your comments and synopsis about Black Scorpion
series..........That one was a dandy. Wish someone would do it again.

Your opinion mirrors just about what the rest of us who are knockout
fetish fans have said. We all love the numerous and frequent
knockouts, but were disappointed because there were no carry scenes.

It would have been great if, after knocking her out cold as was done so
many times, if the villains had said, "Now that we've got her, what do
we do with her?" Instead as you said they just laughed and taunted
her briefly and walked away.

Michelle Lintel, whereever you are, we are thinking about you !!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know why the Black Scorpion TV series is so ridiculously priced - over $200.00 on amazon !!

Have the 2 films with Joan Severance and Sting of the Black Scorpion with Michelle Lintel and thoroughly enjoyed them all, which makes me want the TV collection..but, not at that price.

One DVD to check out : Spider Babe starring Misty Mundae..includes a great wrestling match.

Wow. Makes me very happy that I bought my set 2 years ago for $36.00. $200 for 22 episodes is a big rip-off.

I've got Sting of the Black Scorpion on DVD, and the 2 movies on VHS and taped the whole TV series on VHS as well.

Thats probably due to the print run. they didn't print many of them and now they are collectors items.

I liked the show, but, it's only fault was, Black Scorpion NEVER LOST!
Geez, perhaps some OVER-BEARING feminism was present there, but, even tough girls lose once in a while?
I liked the original from the movie, but, her replacement was OK.
Actually, I prefer the temperment of the mild BnD sites, like this one.
Yeah, they have powers.
Yeah, they are nearly invincible.
But, winning and losing are part of the game.
Tell me even the male super-heroes (take THE FLASH TV SERIES of the early 90's, was it?) got clobbered sometimes.
To make all female gendered superheroines always the victor (as was too common in recent Hollywood years) just provided you with THE ENDING AT THE BEGINNING. YOU KNEW SHE'D WIN THROUGH AND THROUGH---BORING!
If I want to just look at just (you know what), MY GOD, the Internet shall provide.
Hollywood California refuses to learn-continues to preach.
Number in audience- 1 mirror. [-X
The finger of the face (not the impolite figure!) is to them-to my comrades on this site (especially MH) HOORAH!! HOORAH! HOORAH! :smt023 =D> =D> =D>

I agree with on most of it! Except the Black Scorpion series gave us that, she ko'ed in just about every episode. We hadn't seen that since the first season of WW. They never really gave us a good capture, ya know carried off and tied up but it was the closest thing to a comic book I have seen in awhile.

BTW Michelle Lintel was smoking hot.

Somewhere in the Internet I read where it goes era to era whether or not a heroine is accepted to be captured and bound.
Also, rescue by a man is not readily acceptable to many.
Eh, people have too many hang-ups.
These days so much is acceptable that was once considered not to be so.
Each of us has to make our own decisions.
My only feeling on the issue is leave the children be-let them be kids.
Thereafter, for adults, as long as no one gets SERIOUSLY hurt and it's with consent. ;-)

How many times was Black Scorpion unmasked during the series? I finally got hold of the Sting of the Black Scorpion compilation and have just downloaded the Photo Finish unmasking clip from YouTube. What else is there?

Here's a list of the scenes where the the Black Scorpion removes her disguise or has it forcibly removed:

Armed and Dangerous / Sting of the Black Scorpion
Darcy takes off her mask after Firearm threatens to blast it off. Love the way she flicks her hair back as though she's in a shampoo commercial.

Blinded by the Light / Sting of the Black Scorpion
Darcy looks genuinely stunned when Iris/Vision tears off her mask and wig.
