Member Rating:  
This B-movie from director Rodman Flender (The Unborn) was originally broadcast on Showtime's Roger Corman Presents series. Joan Severance stars as a cop who becomes a leather-clad superhero named Black Scorpion when her father is murdered in a barroom shooting. The murder is part of a seemingly random crimewave engineered by an asthmatic villain called the Breathtaker, who wears a big metal suit like comic book bad-guy Dr. Doom. Breathtaker is planning to turn the whole city into his wheezing slaves by way of poisoned gas masks, and Severance must stop him. In between, she gets former car-thief Argyle (Saturday Night Live alumnus Garrett Morris) to build her a super Scorpion-mobile and tries to keep her identity secret from former partner/lover Bruce Abbott (Re-Animator). ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Campy and sometimes seems like a Troma movie. Joan Severance is no action hero, her fight scenes are laughable. This film has one of the worst villain costumes I have ever seen. If you're renting this for Joan's sex scene, you might as well pass. For 'bad' movie lovers only.-Stone

Campy movie with a unrealistic superhero, but with that said, Joan Severance is just beautiful. Her sex seen with her partner is worth the wait guys! Her body is beautiful. Can she act, not well, but watch it for Joan!
