For all its broad (and periodically inane) silliness, Black Scorpion is a b-flick that delivers what it promises, with a whole lotta Severance on the side.

A lady in Leather who happens to be SuperHero named Black Scorpion. I watched this movie because I had flu. lol It is very cheesy Movie. Seems a female spoof a mix of catwoman and batman.

Joan Severance as a former cop turned black-garbed avenger of the night appearance owes a lot to Michelle Pfeiffer's nasty leathers in Batman Returns. Joan's considerably more blatant about her sexual hunger, but the modern noir setting - in this case the City of Angels - is every bit as deliciously seamy.
