Lady Scorpions

I think the movie is great with a combination of action, drama and suspense. It is entertaining even though I don't really care for the bloody scenes. The lady scorpions are very talented and well-equipped with tactics for defense! I like that the director chose two women as protagonists and that they really nailed it! As someone who is a fan of martial arts and ninja moves, I recommend this movie to watch. I also think that the movie has some funny elements and so honestly this is something that movie viewers look forward to watch. And lastly, you can watch it in almost all digital platforms!

Looking forward to more of your work 😎.

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.

I have no idea why the director producer or writer decided to make her the lead actress has gone to crap even though her whole life she's just been a television martial artist and has never for tournaments in like fighting tournaments so really martial arts was really for tv she wants some championships in form whatever the heck that is.

She can no longer fight now for TV either she can't kick very high at all so they've had to use it because it show this movie is not CGI. You can tell her they've had to use Body doubles a couple times for her kick because you watch her most of the time her kicks are pathetic, she could barely run and her acting is really gone downhill.

Meanwhile, you have the girl that should've been a lead actress Caitlyn numerous arts championships, starting at the age of six decided at the age of 24 to retire and get into stunt work, which got her into some roles. She's actually a pretty good actress. She is an amazing martial artist and you could see it in her punches it blows my mind that she doesn't have the lead role, they should've made her for her daughter and her grandma her mother getting information from her separately and her having the call and that's about it so just really having Grandma's voice and then maybe at the end the Grandma comes and helps this whole thing you make Cynthia the lead actress in this when you have lightning in a bottle that you're not using if you use it and wrote the script a little bit differently you could've had a movie that was like a seven piece of garbage so I'm not sure if Cynthia's dating or married to producer Director writer I hope you got something like that I was really looking forward to this movie and then I got very disappointed to.

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.

Lady Scorpions (2024) is an action-thriller meets family drama with a crime twist, directed by Bruce Del Castillo.

The legendary Cynthia Rothrock in top form as Alena Moore, a FBI agent who is thrust back into action when her granddaughter is kidnapped by a dangerous criminal organization.

Rothrock, as always, is a force to be reckoned with, and fans of her 80s work will not be disappointed. This time, she's joined by Caitlin Dechelle, who plays her daughter. Their bond is key to the film's emotional core, and their on-screen chemistry is fantastic. Together, they make a believable mother-daughter rescue team, and their dynamic elevates the story beyond a typical action flick.

The movie never lets up, delivering expertly choreographed fight scenes that will keep you glued to the screen. In a post-Covid world flooded with action movies that often lack originality, Lady Scorpion stands out due to its unique focus on family bonds, perfectly woven into the fast-paced action.

Rothrock fans will be pleased to know that the fights here are as brutal as ever-no holding back. This is the Cynthia Rothrock we all know and love, showing she can still take on the bad guys without missing a beat.

Overall, Lady Scorpions is a fun and fresh take on the action genre, with a perfect blend of family drama and high-octane thrills. Rothrock's fans will find plenty to love here, as she once again proves she never disappoints.
