Black Scorpion
Justice has a nasty sting.
Directed by Jonathan Winfrey
Produced by Concorde-New Horizons, Showtime Networks
A campy, high-energy superhero action romp from the mid-90s that prioritizes martial arts spectacle and comedic tone over depth or realism.
Darcy is a cop who is also a supehero named Black Scorpion at night who kicks and beats evildoers to a pulp. She soon catches wind of an asthmatic mad scientist who plans on tainting the city's air supply with a toxin. Only Darcy in her superhero garb can stop him with the assistance of a petty thief named Argyle.
