BLACK SCORPION THE SERIES 2001 (TUBI)

A very fun and over the top Roger Corman produvced TV series for the Sci-Fi channel back in 2001.

The series ran for only 22 episodes, but they are a wild ride indeed. There were lots of stars that appeared in this show and, in my opinion, some of the sexiest women ever to be in movies such as Lana Clarkson and Lisa Boyle, not to mention a very hot star to play the title role, Michell Lintel.

The series reminded me of the old Batman show from the 1960's and of couse I can get into that really easy. Here is a rundown of every episode.

1. ARMED AND DANGEROUS 1/5/2001... Detective Darcy Walker (Michell Lintel) is also known as The Black Scorpion. Her partner Det. Steve Rafferty (Scott Valentine) is unaware of the double life Darcy leads. However they work together to catch a criminal known as Firearm (Martin Kove).

2. WAVE GOODBYE 1/12/2001... A very sexy marine biologist (Athena Massey) is turned into a super fiend called Hurricane after being exposed to chemicals dumped into the water of the City Of Angels. Black Scorpion must stop her from drowning the entire city.

3. BLINDED BY THE LIGHT 1/19/2001... A photographer (Allen Scotti) if blinded when attempting to get a picture of Black Scorpion without her mask on. He is then made into a vengeful supervillian known as Flashpoint who threatens to blind the entire city.

14. VIRTUAL VICE 4/14/2001... This is my favorite episode of the entire series. Dr. Sarah Bellum (Lana Clarkson) becomes a super Villain called Mindebender when the Mayor (Robert Pine) refuses to go along with her plan to create a virtual home for the homeless. Clarkson is easily the sexiest female to ever appear on the show.

15. BAD SPORT 4/21/2001...An injured hockey player becomes Slapshot and seeks revenge on those who put him out of the business.

16. KISS OF DEATH 4/28/2001... Nancy Valen stars as a policewoman who is suspended for her brutal tactics. She becomes a villain called Angel Of Death and kills criminals with kisses.

17. HE WHO LAUGHS LAST 5/5/2001... Gangster Prankster escapes from jail and forces Argyle (JT) to create a machine that punishes anyone who laughs. A very odd but interesting episode.

After 22 episodes the series ended and wasn't renewed for the Sci-Fi channel. I really enjoyed the series and it's bevy of beautiful guest stars and old favorites from my past. But that's it and if you get a chance to see it I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
