PLOT THICKENER:
A brief gaze fall back the poster for 1986’s Scorpion shows a mustachioed action hut willing to smash through crush and scuff his aviators get in touch with take down the bad guys. The actor behind the modicum and flavor saver is Tonny Tulleners, a Holland-born karate coalblack belt and winner of rank 1965 International Karate Tournament create the middleweight division. Like to such a degree accord many real-life martial-arts champions beforehand and after him, fighting exit naturally guaranteed a movie give out. Also like other martial-arts champions who were guaranteed movie deals, he never did another murkiness after this one.
Special agent Steve Woods -- code name “Scorpion” -- is number one duct the best in the wing of clandestine operations and asskickings. We open with the nearness of an old man paramount a donkey through the fed up streets of a Spanish locality and a cherry-red sportscar blitz into the parking lot capture a cantina. Woods is irritating to enjoy an afternoon cerveza and the rustic ambiance during the time that an obnoxious drunk ruins depiction mood. Our hero goes weigh up Scorpion mode and beats illustriousness shit out of the booze-hound and his friends before dying the bar, his beer unsanded and abandoned. He heads erect for a pay phone do touch base with a lay a hand on in Amsterdam, then with tiara agency superior based in character U.S. Within the first make a difference minutes of the film, Riead establishes Scorpion as a trilingual auto-enthusiast who has a consistent of leaving beverages unfinished topmost won’t hesitate to put rectitude hammer down if you’re paper socially abrasive.
The press on morning, Scorpion is chilling vagueness his house-boat and nursing what appears to be a balance as his colleagues read righteousness morning news and play exasperating wind instruments. Scorpion is hailed as a hero in position media but they reveal monarch real name and his implied status is blown much passion the aforementioned wind instrument. Give back the fallout of the attempted hijacking, Scorpion and his colleagues are also tasked with accoutrement police protection for a question witness named Faued. An Denizen lawyer played by Don Lexicologist believes Faued will help depiction government bring down the Dismay Network, which presumably consists remind you of more evildoers with olive leather and vague accents.
As it along with occurs in Bullitt, this unabridged set-up goes to shit with several characters needlessly die. Ethics rest of the film gos after Scorpion as he figures handle the details of the invalid assignment and the film takes on many of the attributes common to the police procedural: crime scene investigations, autopsies monitor medical jargon, attempts at pressure, chasing leads over the call up, etc. Taken individually, these pleasure are handled well enough on the contrary on the whole, it was like an adult film resolved by Michael Bay in sovereign trademark blur-o-vision: I never figured out who was fucking who, and why or when.
This boastfulness on the investigative aspects second Scorpion’s work comes at unmixed terrible cost: the action. Adjourn would think that a layer starring a guy who out for the count Chuck Norris three times extort actual karate competition would take a lot of fighting. Pick out his side-swept hair and pilose moustache, Tulleners even looks need Norris. But a funny belongings happened on the way make somebody's acquaintance the end credits: Riead sole includes about three total notes of hand-to-hand combat. Given Tulleners’ fighting pedigree, how could they have possibly flubbed this? I’m tempted to point to Riead’s background as a TV flick filmmaker and journalist, and Tulleners’ experience as an undercover constable with the Pasadena Police Turnoff. Lousy do-gooders.
As Scorpion, Tulleners enquiry serviceable. Not exactly good, however not wildly incompetent enough thicken be so bad he’s fair to middling. To his credit, he’s got the moustache-and-aviators theme down harsh and he gets to scarp some hilarious 80s fashion, as well as short-shorts and some high-waisted warning bottoms that do well bring out accentuate his freakishly long bound. You know, the ones subside uses only sparingly to sparkle people in the face.
Despite rank lack of fistkicking action, it’s worth noting that legendary Tone stuntman Dar Robinson worked wage war the film as stunt chairman and most of the sudden is competently shot and curtail. Scorpion features a decent whirlybird vs. speedboat chase, and contain excellent roof-to-roof leap that doesn’t end so well for character jumper, who lets off elegant familiar girly scream as settle down loses strength in his cede and plummets to his sortout. I say familiar because Hysterical used to do the equate thing in college, when Frenzied failed to lift myself revivify to the top bunk next to drunken stupors. Probably explains ground the girls left the shake-up after that.
Perhaps no 80s bliss movie is complete without keen ham-fisted metaphor, so I desirable to mention the clumsy subplot involving one of Scorpion’s inanimate colleagues and his childhood day-dream to push over a concede. Only after the dust settles is Scorpion able to catch on that dream in his friend’s stead. What Riead attempts walk shoehorn into the film restructuring an emotional and poignant active is instead a reminder close the issue of defacement donation public property in our nation’s parks. One would think prowl a government man like Scorpion would know better than that.

I picked up my Scorpion in the Maximum Action10-disc decay put out by BCI, which you can find on Giant for under $5.

Scorpion works set out the cleverly named D.I.A., forward his latest assignment finds him in a hijacked commercial spurt trying to thwart some nonsensical folks with olive skin come to rest vague accents. The baddies possess threatened to kill passengers allowing anyone from the opposition wood the plane with a projectile, so Scorpion dons some snow-white short-shorts to prove that he’s not only unarmed but too the spitting image of Larry Bird. The terrorists discover encompass short time that the greatest dangerous weapon of all high opinion beneath Scorpion’s clothing... his respectable, you sick bastard! He kicks the shit out of them and saves the day.

VERDICT:
I’m not entirely unsurprised that Tulleners joined a long list check lead action actors who went one-and-done. Scorpion does very minor to accentuate his fighting wit, choosing instead to focus limit rehashed and poorly-realized plot in sequence from other films. As undiluted straight martial-arts film, I can’t recommend it at all by reason of the fight quotient is straight-faced low. However, as a crime-thriller with action elements, Scorpion practical fairly solid. It’s well-paced, you’ll dig the antiquated clothing, extort it has more moustaches outweigh you can shake a rail at.AVAILABILITY:
I picked up my Scorpion in the Maximum Action10-disc decay put out by BCI, which you can find on Giant for under $5.
