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.

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.

Cynthia Rothrock should team up with Steven Seagal. He's been through the struggles of navigating the Medicare/Medicaid network. Finding a suitable long-term elder care facility.

Back in the day, she kicked some serious ass and now she can barely kick above her expanding waistline. Watching these aging "action heroes" stumble through their moves is cringeworthy and sad. Using their name recognition to boost careers of other, 2nd rate actors. Best advice from their agents would have been to invest in real estate. Quit the acting gig while you were on the top. Not to end your career on lows like these less than "B" grade movies.

And yes, I've said the same thing about Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nicolas Cage, etc. Are you simply pandering to the Boomers?

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 😎.

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.
