Event
THE SCARLET SCORPION
a/k/a: O ESCORPIAO ESCARLATE
dir. Ivan Cardoso, 1990
90 min, Brazil
In Portuguese w/ hard-burned English subs.
Opening with a faux national news reel, THE SCARLET SCORPION, is Cardoso's vision crystalized and funneled through one of the countries most beloved pop-culture icons - The Angel.
A billionaire playboy who fights crime, The Angel was all over comics and radio dramas. In fact, in THE SCARLET SCORPION, the news reel ends with the country at a standstill as the announcement of a new Angel show comes over the airwaves. As the story continues the events of the radio show inspire the work of a copycat - none other than Angel's archival - The Scarlet Scorpion himself! Angel must match wits with Scarlet Scorpion in order to save the love of his life - a fashion designer by the name of Gloria.
Though not horror by any stretch - THE SCARLET SCORPION is nothing if not thrilling (and hilarious). Cardoso would continue to make films into 2013 with one still listed at "in post-production" on IMDb but THE SCARLET SCORPION caps off our Summer series with a bang.
