4.0 out of 5 stars three TV episodes edited into a movie, May 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sting of the Black Scorpion (DVD)

Three episodes of the show were edited together to make this movie for folks like me. I enjoyed Black Scorpion 1 and 2, but I hadn't seen the show. Sting gave me a chance to see what I'd missed. I watched and ended up enjoying it. Michelle Lintel is a doll. Scott Valentine is well cast. Frank Gorshin is superb. Sting really grew on me. I ultimately bought the complete TV show, but it made Sting obsolete. The same three episodes are included in that set too. I think the complete series is a great buy. You might want to get that instead of Sting. It's more expensive, but a great collection for Scorpion fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars The TV show, Inspired by Movies, Becomes a Movie, March 9, 2004

This review is from: Sting of the Black Scorpion (DVD)

Michelle Lintel revisits her television role as the crime fighter Black Scorpion. While this is a movie, it plays like three television episodes placed end to end. The film opens with her undercover and running into another undercover cop. The other cop becomes her new partner. He transferred in specifically so he could catch Black Scorpion.

Black scorpion must first go up against Firearm, a villain with a gun for an arm. He is after the mayor because of a gun bill that was passed.

Next Black Scorpion blinds a photographer who becomes Flashpoint, a villain bent on exposing Black Scorpions identity.

Finally she must go against Clockwise, a villain improperly jailed for twenty-five years. Now that he is out he wants vengeance on all those who did him wrong (Frank Gorshin does an excellent job as this villain).

At the film's end, you do not feel like you have watched a movie, but a television show. Nowhere near as good as the original film. The fighting is more professional wrestling than martial arts and the banter, especially in the Firearm battles, is so bad you have to hear it. Still, it is some reasonably good and fun crime fighting.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Sting ( 2002) offers similiar Plot with a few new tricks!, March 23, 2003

This review is from: Sting of the Black Scorpion (DVD)

This is the 3rd installment of the Black scorpion Movie series. First there was the "The Black Scorpion and then there was B.S Part II (Aftershock). Out of the 3 I would have to say "Aftershock" still remains my favorite. "Sting of the Black Scorpion" is a 2002 Film....Also "Michelle Lintel" from the T.V series is the "Black Scorpion" not "Joan Severance" in this film. Although I thought Joan did better in the first two feature films conveying the part, Michelle definitley looks better. "Sting" is basically a reproduction of the first two films but is unconvincing. Why? because none of the same actors are in the film. To Replace one character is one thing, but to replace all is another. Even "Arguile" was a different actor her accompass. The only thing that was really a surprise in this film is that her "Scorpion Mobile" was destroyed and she got a New Model White Corvette to roll with. And when it transformed, the "Scorpion Mobile" was better equipped with a new look with some new tricks. Basically the story line was quite similiar to the previous two films. There was 3 villians in this film..FireArm, Clockwise & Blinder or something like that. Well anyway she had to defeat these guys before they took over "The City Of Angels. The film is very Quirky as the others whre in the past. And offers alot of action comedy..which is definitley worth the purchase.You will laugh throughout this silly irony althrough this film. "Roger Corman" didn't fell on his attempt to reserect the movie franchise with this 3rd installment.
