Prepared for a routine flight across the Pacific, lonely widower and pilot Jack Russell maneuvers his jet into the sky and unknowingly tightens the gap between his passengers and doom. Lying dormant in the craft's hull is a secret shipment of genetically engineered Scorpion fetuses, the creation of Dr. Jennifer Ryan and her team of biochemists for the purpose of discovering a vaccine. At the same time, Yaffi and his brother Sudan sneak onto the airplane speaking in hushed tones about a conspiracy of their own; to smuggle themselves into America. One of Jennifer's most trusted colleagues uses this opportunity to break into the cargo hold and steal the Scorpions. Each fetus sleeps submerged in a jell liquid inside its own glass container. While transferring the fetuses from their secure metal unit the scientist is discovered by security. A desperate fight ensues, containers break, and the Scorpions open their ugly black eyes.

| United Press InternationalJoe Bob BriggsIf I had to guess, they were going for a combination of Ridley Scott's "Alien," Jack Arnold's "Creature from the Black Lagoon," and the Zucker Brothers "Airplane" -- and, by God, they succeeded! |
| User ReviewJennifer SOh my god, this could be the most amazing thing ever committed to film. Bad script, bad acting, bad sets, and the ever-present dude with the boom mike who manages to make it into almost every shot. A pure cheese classic. If you like to laugh at awesomely bad things, check this out, you won't be disappointed. Pure fun. |
| User ReviewJames HThis film is 100 percent funny, not sure if its supposed to be but it was a riot. A drive in type film that just made me laugh from start to finish. Scorpions are being brought back from South American, when someone gets in cargo hold to find out what the good Dr is bringing back, of course they get out of jars and grown into giant scorpions and run a muck on the plane. Its just a fun movie. Don't expect to much, go in looking for a laugh. 4 Stars been a long time since I laugh this hard. |
| User ReviewMatthew Mthink snakes on a plane with scorpins and really bad cg... so bad its kindof good! |
| User ReviewSalwah ACheesy script-writing. Mediocre acting. Totally weird visuals. I bet you could spot more spoofs faster than you can count to 100! I'd give it two stars plainly for its attempted humor. |
| User ReviewJack BSCORPIONS! Noooooooooo! Just about every animal has been genetically mutated into a killing machine in cinema but Tail Sting, packs little venom behind it, making for a drab straight-to-disc creature feature. |
| User ReviewLee BI've seen every enlarged arachnid except a scorpion, so I jumped at the chance of viewing it. I loved the randomness of the characters, so the diversity made the characters enjoyable. However, they didn't stay within character so it lead to snoresville. The brutality of the fist a cuff battles are staggering. The real star is the midget dressed up as the scorpion queen as well as the puppets. They were trying too hard to make it resemble aliens. This movie isn't worth the film it was made on. |
