Scorpion Thunderbolt (1988)

aka Snake

Harrison bends metal in a strange homoerotic scene.


This is another Godfrey Ho film made by inter-cutting two other (unrelated) films with new footage, but for once, it's a horror film rather than a ninja film. One story is about a woman who turns into a snake whenever a flute is played (or a drum is banged - the rules are sketchy) and the other story might have been a police procedural. The new film has Richard Harrison picking up a hitchhiker who shows him a porn film she starred in, then tries to stab him, but ends up vomiting and dying. Now Harrison has a magic ring that can kill the Queen of the Scorpions; her best scene has her flying while the police shoot at her. There's a baby biting off a breast, a snake attack in a moving car, a guy shooting pool balls into a woman's crotch and enough weirdness, gore and nudity to keep you from noticing that the plot makes little sense.
