Summary: There are TWO editions of this movie!
Review: Please be warned that there are two different editions of this movie on DVD and I've yet to find a retailer who can confirm which they're shipping. The one with "Roger Corman Presents" accros the top of the cover DOES NOT include the interview or commentary.

Summary: A lot better than it has any reason to be.
Review: Remarkably well done as far as recent Roger Corman-produced product goes. Joan Severance goes all-out and gives an excellent performance that puts her co-stars -- Bruce (Re-Animator) Abbott and Rick (Roxanne) Rossovich among them -- to shame. So the movie's a low-budget made-for-cable superhero flick -- that's no excuse to not give it your all.The DVD looks really good, which is surprising since 50% of the movie is shot in dark L.A. alleys. The full-screen picture is clear and sound is great. Amazon.com has neglected to include a couple of details about the DVD in it's technical description. The DVD contains a short (10-15 minute) introduction, as well as a feature-length commentary, both by Joan Severance. There's also a few trailers for other Corman movies, including Black Scorpion II.

Summary: a blast
Review: Sexy Joan Severance puts on black hooker clothes to battle crime as the super-heroine Black Scorpion complete with her own super-powered car. This is great stuff if you love comics and B movies.

Summary: "Sting ( 2002) offers similiar Plot with a few new tricks!
Review: 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. Arish

Summary: Stinging Good Fun
Review: When looking for a fun action film, a good choice would be a film called Black Scorpion that stars Joan Severance. This movie was followed by a sequel and a television series. Black Scorpion is the story of a young girl raised by a policeman father whose tactics cause him to ruin his career. Later in life as a cop herself she finds herself in a position where she needs to find justice and the Black Scorpion is born. Using some clothes from an undercover gig as a prostitute, and a few other additions, a costumed vigilante is created. Just as she starts to make her mark a super-villain called The Breathtaker threatens the lives of everyone in the city. It is up to Black Scorpion to save the day. This movie is a well-balanced mix of action, adventure and humor. The police chief and a con called Argyle (played by Garrett Morris) really help to make this a very enjoyable movie. At the movie's end the viewer is left wanting to see more Black Scorpion adventures. Unfortunately, this is the best that the series gets. This is an R-Rated film for good reason so despite its comic-book feel, this is not one for children.
