This pic is HOT !!! It reminds me of the heroine knockouts in the old black and white movie serials wherein the heroine during a fight scene attempts to help the sometimes outnumbered hero. When she intervenes in the fight she is invariable shoved back against the wall. Her head strikes the wall, or a table, box etc. and knocks her out cold. As the fight continues we see, every few seconds the scene switch from the fight to the knocked out pretty girl lying out cold on the floor. Sometimes the hero will then be knocked out and the building is on fire. Cliffhanger, cliffhanger...........end of chapter. When I was a kid watching this in the theater, I had to wait til next Saturday to see the outcome............Wow, those were the days. Keep up the good work.....

Very good point, Jimmy! I always enjoy reading your comments! By the way, those old black-and-white serials were a lot of fun, and, like you said, contained some nice "heroine knockout" scenes. I actually named my Panther Girl character after the female lead in the 1955 serial "Panther Girl of the Kongo", which featured the lovely Phyllis Coates (better known as "Lois Lane" in the first season of the 1950s "Superman" TV series) as the miniskirted jungle girl. She got knocked out five times in that twelve-chapter serial! I saw it when it aired in the Nashville area in the early 1970s as "The Claw Monsters", which is a ninety-minute "TV-movie"-length edited version of the original serial. It definitely left an impression on my demented psyche -- sometimes I wonder if I would even have a knockout fetish if I had not seen that KO-fest of a movie at a certain impressionable age!

One way I gage how good a pic is to ask how badly would I like to see a follow up to it. And certainly I would like to see the next sequence of this excellent knockout scene. I see Panther Girl lying on the floor of course at the base of the bookshelf with her assailant standing and leering at her. Perhaps a few books lying around her and some lying on top of her (but not covering up too much) Yes, a great pic like this wants us to see more.

I am glad that you liked the pic enough to want a follow-up, Jimmy! I will consider ordering a "sequel" from Raffaele!
