Return of Black Scorpion April 26, 2004
Format:DVD
When I saw that there was a movie called Black Scorpion 2 I knew that I would have to watch it right away as my wife and I had so enjoyed the first movie.

Joan Severance returns as Darcy Walker, policewoman by day and crime fighter by night. Although her partner has been recast, almost all of the faces from the first movie have returned, including Garret Morris as Argyle.

The film opens with Darcy tracking down the Gangster Prankster (sort of a cross between the Joker and Two-Face) and then busting him as Black Scorpion. Meanwhile a woman scientist has come up with a way to neutralize earthquakes and aftershocks. Unfortunately the Mayor enjoys the federal relief funds that quakes bring in so he sabotages her machine. The result is that it amplifies the quake and the scientist takes on the identity of Aftershock. It is up to Black Scorpion to make the streets safe again.

While not quite up to the level of the first film (the fight scenes are almost comical) it was still a fun film and I would recommend it to anyone who has seen the first Black Scorpion film. I definitely recommend these films to those who like the comic book film genre, although this is not intended for kids (ther is nudity and violence).

a fun sequel December 8, 2004
Format:DVD
As a Black Scorpion I think this a fun sequel that has everything I like about the Black Scorpion Tv series (which is available on DVD in an impressive collection): a strong and intelligent heroine, weird but wonderful bad guys, and lots of B-movie/comic strip action. Good fun!

A BLAST! December 8, 2003
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Black Scorpion II is a great B movie comic book. Joan Severance is beautiful and wears bondage gear and is just so alluring. If you grew up on cheesy comic books and are in touch with your 'inner 13 year old' how can ya not love this? Lots of fun!

Some say these type of movies are "bad" and sure they won't win an Oscar, but the Black Scorpion sure will entertain. Read more

B-movie silliness
Don't expect a serious movie, but turn off your brain and enjoy the wonders of this flick. Sexy, silly, and worth your time if you love B-movies. Read more

bad, but that's what makes it so good
The Black Scorpion movies and series are very funny and sexy and they aren't to be taken seriously, but are great escapism. Read more

No, not the worst film, but...
I'm a sucker for many superhero films, and by buying them, I've been burned by horrible plots, cheap effects, and wooden acting. Read more

All right, I'll admit the movie itself stunk. But it had one thing going for it: Gangster Prankster! Read more

This is perhaps the worst movie ever made. While Joan Severance is the most beautiful actress in the world even her looks didn't salvage this terrible movie. Read more
