Review derails. Lady Scorpions – 78 minutes.


I’ve wrote I am not going to watch any other of three made films from Tiger Style Media and released under Paramount’s label Republic Pictures and I don’t why, but I suspected that low-budgeted intended for VOD movie Lady Scorpions willn’t alike to Michelangelo’s work in sculpture. I amazed to myself after that. It was “WOW!” I, as with doing of any serious and important decision, did throwing of coin. I would do it in question about marriage what would be between “no, don’t do that” and “yes, it’s an absolutely very bad idea”. The coin was positive to watching. However, I already wanted to do for see on how fights Cynthia Rothrock now.

 

A title references to known actress’ film Lady Dragon and this choice was no other than for commercial attraction in alongside with same producers of Art of Eight Limbs. One of scriptwriters and director is Bruce Del Castillo who before that full-length flick was titled as “grip” on many familiar titles. In Lady Scorpions, he demonstrates in rare occasions his want to be unusual in directing, which had curious but untied mostly. A filmmaker does an embarrassment mistake by inserting comedy in moments of full seriousness. Seventies filming approach in very little is likeable while it doesn’t adorn an inanimate plot. A criminal organization of Jeff Fahey’s character would ended dozen years before if Rothrock’s heroine witnessed her husband’s death when was being in chains. I forgave a downgrading of law and order and outside of sense behavior of characters could be explained by human factor until all these things became unbearable for reality and unchangeable state of script.

 

Fightings are frequently not elaborated and many times the illogical acts of personages bring to rumbles. And they without passion. Cynthia Rothrock as a good old school martial artist performer does the truest plausibility. She mostly well in acting as well. Caitlin Dechelle isn’t genuine when her daughter was kidnapped by having zero on face and in getting of high voltage of electricity, which uses for torturing her and where she saves surprisingly an initial great look after many turning button on – it would be a good commercial for make-up or deodorant. However, performing of whole cast is acceptable in different degrees from normal to Jeff Fahey and his beard. But director was supposed to work on authenticity of Sofia O’Brien whose potential can be to great.

 

No more of Tiger Style Media films. A period in this time.
