A masked woman, dressed in a revealing black outfit, beats up bad guys and drives around in a car specifically designed to fight crime. The idea has an irresistible voyeuristic / fetishistic appeal, but the result here is an utter disappointment. The first mistake was the overly serious tone, which doesn't really serve the ludicrous material very well. The second was the miscasting of Joan Severance in the title role. Sure, she has a good body, but they could have picked a woman with an even better body AND a more attractive face, or a less wooden actress, or someone more adept at martial arts (they made a far better choice for the "Black Scorpion" TV series: Michelle Lintel). The insulting script (one minute, she hears the crime on the police radio; the next minute, she's right there to stop it!) and the low production values are no help, either. I have never actually watched the TV series so far, but judging from "Sting Of The Black Scorpion", which was a compilation of three episodes from it, it seems to be a vast improvement on this feature.
