Wiki.
Black Scorpion II: Aftershock, also known as Black Scorpion II: Ground Zero, is a 1997 American superhero comedy television film directed by Jonathan Winfrey, written by Craig J. Nevius, and produced by Roger Corman. It is the sequel to Black Scorpion (1995), and stars Joan Severance, reprising her role as the titular crime-fighting superhero. It aired on Showtime on May 13, 1997.
Darcy Walker is a police detective in Angel City, a fictionalized version of Los Angeles. Her secret identity is the Black Scorpion, a comic book style vigilante. The Black Scorpion does not have any super powers but, like Batman, she fights for justice using a combination of martial arts and advanced technology, including her high-tech car, the Scorpionmobile. The film's exaggerated characters and unrealistic events are portrayed with a humorous camp aesthetic.
The film was followed in 2001 by a Black Scorpion TV series that starred Michelle Lintel in the title role.
