Lady Scorpions

Alena Moore (Cynthia Rothrock) is a drug enforcement agent. She has been to get criminal head Lucien (Jeff Fahey) for years.

Lucien warns her to stay away as he has a big deal planned. His wayward son has different ideas, knowing that Alena will not stop interfering.

He attacks Alena's daughter Lacy (Caitlin Dechelle) and then abducts the grandaughter.

Now both Alena and Lacy who are both experts at martial arts unite to find her.

Lucien is not pleased that his son has gone rogue.

Lady Scorpions is a generic action thriller with an awful script. Director Bruce Del Castillo who has worked on some Quentin Tarantino movies, tips a hat to films like Kill Bill.

There is plenty of action, Cynthia Rothrock fans would be happy. There is no denying that she is over the hill. The rest would find it disappointing. Some of the movie is just dumb.

Cynthia Rothrock has aged: at 67, she can no longer fight as she did in her youth.

She has difficulty delivering a high kick. Not to mention that she's put on weight...

The film is uninteresting, the story shaky and the acting barely average. Add some annoying musical score.

I couldn't get to the end of the film, it's too boring to watch.

The 10 stars are probably bought, or they're people who are affiliated with the movie crew or producer.

Don't waste your time, this film is bad. But if you need help to have a good sleeping night, try it :)

And Mrs Rothrock should retire from making action and karate films.

It was tough to make it past the first two minutes. In the opening act, a 105lb pound woman with the physique of a heroin addict absolutely destroys two grown men in a martial arts style fight. I'm all about equality and giving women their moment, but this is just fantasy and isn't believable, not even with choreography and Hollywood. It's an insult to the average person's intellect to believe this is even remotely accurate. It's more of the same throughout the whole movie. 100 pound woman destroys middle-aged men that hit the gym and train MMA. Anyone who has trained in any fighting style knows these fights would last less than a few seconds outside of a sound stage.

If you like seeing emaciated women beat up men, you'll love this movie.

This is a fun 90s B action movie. I don't know who the moron is who said that the soundtrack sucks because the soundtrack was actually really cool! The directors song choices kind of reminded me ofTarantino. And this guy did work on a lot of his films doing camera work.

I thought the plot was good and it had some nice twists. Only thing that really holds the movie back is, I love Cynthia but at her age I think she needs to use a body double for some of the action. I was just watching child O'Brien 2 and even back then for the dangerous stuff she used a stunt double.

There's some scenes where she pulls off some good kicks but other scenes she doesn't get her kicks high enough. But if you're a fan of people doing their own stunts it appears to be her most of the film. And her co-star is a badass martial artist.

In the movie she plays an aging detective who's trying to take down this crime Boss so maybe fighting is realistic for the character.

But as far as the director goes I really enjoyed his style. And there was some good action. I don't understand the guy that gave this 1 star. Some movies can be just fun action movies, not everything has to be perfect to enjoy it. It doesn't deserve 10 stars but it doesn't deserve one star either.

Well, the 2024 crime action movie "Lady Scorpions" was not a movie that I was familiar with. And since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance.

I am a little bit amazed with the fact that writers Stephen Carolan, Bruce Del Castillo and H. Daniel Gross collectively couldn't manage to churn out a more profound or layered script and storyline. Sure, the movie was watchable and entertaining enough for what it was, but it just wasn't a memorable movie. In fact, "Lady Scorpions" is a movie that you will watch once, then bag and tag it. However, it should be noted that if you enjoy the semi-plotless martial arts movies from the late 1980s and early 1990s, then you might get a bigger kick out of this movie. The movie was light in terms of storyline and narrative, and was carried by the fight scenes and action.

Of the entire cast ensemble, I was only familiar with Jeff Fahey and Cynthia Rothrock. The acting performances in the movie were fair, but nothing outstanding or memorable though.

The movie does have a fair amount of action and fighting, and it is essentially that which keeps the movie afloat.

Watchable for what it was, though I doubt that I will ever return to watch "Lady Scorpions" a second time.

My rating of director Bruce Del Castillo, whom also wrote and starred in the movie, movie "Lady Scorpions" lands on bland five out of ten stars.
