movies that have scorps

[carpe scorpio]

Other than "Diamonds are Forever", "Predator", "Stick", and "Murder by Death", who among you knows of any other movies that feature live scorpions?.

"Gods must be crazy" "Hidaligo"

Well, there's "The Black Scorpion", a classic Ray Harryhausen (sp?) film about giant scorpions in Mexico. The giant ones are special effects (well done stop motion animation for the most part, combined with rather goofy close ups of the scorpion's faces), but early on there are real scorpions.

The science fiction film "The Arrival" featured emperor scorpions in one scene, which was funny because it was supposed to be South America.

One or more of those "Mummy" movies apparently also featured some misplaced emerprors, although they weren't quite as lost as the ones in "The Arrival". Didn't see that one, however.

The Scorpion King

Swordman 2

Honey I Shrunk The Kids

Hmmm, I don't know what else.

Is it just emperors in these?, or are there other species?. These days it seems as though the the film-makers are unaware that scorpions other than emperors exist. The films I listed contain "other than emperor species".

"Gods must be crazy" "Hidaligo"

I would suspect that "The Gods Must be Crazy" would have some non-emperor scorp sequences.

The old classic war flick "Patton" had a bunch of yellow scorpions crawling over the dead bodies of soldiers in North Africa. Androctonus australis anyone?

Clash of the Titans had the giant black scorps.

Damnation Alley had mutant giant scorps.

Honey I Shrunk the Kids had a dumb scorp scene.

Cool, I guess I should have said, "other than emps".

 

[carpe scorpio]

So, are there any "newer" movies that any of you have seen that have scorps other than emps?.

 

[Fergrim]

Hook has scorps in it..

Where they put the guy in the box and drop some in.. I think they were emps, though.

Yep yep...

Yeah, I havent seen the movie in a while but I think they had a desert hairy........It like stung his boot....................Hidaligo has emperors though..............They're giving emps a name that they don't deserve.

the latest James bond has a lot of emperor scorpions in it. Those scorpions were told to be deadly. In the army with pauly shore. Where his friend has an emperor scorpion on his back in the middle of the libian dessert. (Forrest scorpion in the dessert)

Actors should quit being wusses and use REAL deadly scorpions in them. ;P

*their movies*, not "them."

 

[pandinus]

in an old tape i have, The Crocodile Hunter: africa's deadliest snakes, steve irwin plays around with what look like several wild emps, and what i thought was a wild androctonus australis, which he practicaly holds!!

Yeah, that guy is crazy, I saw one where he was flipping rocks and came across a Parabuthus liosoma and was holding the rock up and letting it scurry about the surface.
