Roger Corman Black Scorpion Series - Blu-ray Forum

Bat_Fan1966 · 02-10-2023, 11:39 PM

Did anyone here enjoy both the black scorpion movies and the TV series from Roger Corman? I’ve got the dvds in my collection but really hoping a company might eventually put it out on blu-ray. Any thoughts? Would you like to see both movies and the TV series on blu-ray?

The first BLACK SCORPION with Joan Severance was a decent B movie but the sequel was very disappointing in comparison because of really bad direction and editing. The TV series with Michelle Lintel was fun in a way despite the very cheap, cheesy fights and car chases A Blu Ray box set that would bring together the two films and the TV series, with a few extra bonuses (interviews, audio commentary, making of..)? why not!

I liked the 1st film a lot for what it was, and it didn't hurt that Joan was a hot commodity in those late-night Skinemax films before this came out. It was a film enjoyable enough that I could introduce it to my lady-friends over the years as I bought the DVD. None of them disliked the movie.

I remember not liking the sequel very much and felt the series fell flat at the time, but I've softened on my expectations for things so I'd give it another go. I thought I may even have had the score to the 1st film as well, but I can't find it so I may pick that up once it's on sale again. I remember liking some of Kiner's work quite a bit. I'm sure BSX will have a nice topless shot of Joan in the artwork as that seems to be their thing.
