The Scorpion and the Frog – The fable in movies, TV shows and games

The Scorpion and the Frog is an animal fable which teaches that vicious people often cannot resist hurting others even when it is not in their interests.

Since the fable’s narration in Mr. Arkadin (1955), it has been recounted as a key element in other films, TV shows and games, including Skin Deep (1989), Chameleon Street (1989), The Crying Game (1992), Star Trek: Voyager (1997), The Sopranos (2000), Xena: Warrior Princess (2001), CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2001), Smallville (2003), Gilmore Girl (2005), Wrong Turn at Taho (2009), The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009), Drive (2011), Magic City (2012), Covert Affairs (2013), House of Lies (2015), God of War (2018), The Last Supper (2018), Megalo Box (2018), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2019), After Life (2019), The Umbrella Academy (2020).

The fable is also mentioned in the following films and TV shows (not included in this video): Natural Born Killers (1994 – a variation with a woman and a snake), Supernatural (2005), Motive (2016), Wynonna Earp (2016), Papillon (2017), Through It All (2017), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (2017), Julia Street (2018), The Chi (2018), Billions (2019), Star Trek: Discovery (2019), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Selah and The Spades (2020), Robot Chicken, MacGyver etc.

Obviously this tale has become a screenplay cliché and I hope after this video it will no longer be used 😉

While F for Fake is certainly Orson Welles at his Wellesiest, Arkadin and it’s backstory are a close second. It’s a spiritual prequel to The Third Man that would be the backstory for Harry Lime if he could have used that name, though that did not stop him from recycling radio scripts that had actually been prequels to The Third Man. It’s also a sort of criminality-minded remake of Citizen Kane. The Criterion boxset further mixes things up by containing 3 versions of the film, the 3 radio episodes that the film borrows liberally from, and the novelization that Welles may or may not have written depending on when you ask him.
