But before that she was Strikforce's 145 lb women's champion.

A thought about women in action roles Dark Knight - 17/01/2012 10:42:28 PM 1528 Views
The actress in Haywire is a former MMA fighter. Chas - 17/01/2012 11:13:03 PM 880 Views
Ok bad example Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:03:45 AM 823 Views
How many men did she beat in those fights? Ray - 18/01/2012 01:47:04 AM 811 Views
Regular but fit guys still wouldn't stand a chance, I guess. ironclad - 18/01/2012 08:23:07 AM 785 Views
I don't know random thoughts - 18/01/2012 02:21:24 PM 864 Views
Haywire may not be the best example ironclad - 17/01/2012 11:33:31 PM 870 Views
I thought she was an American Gladiator? *NM* Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:04:20 AM 367 Views
you're not wrong Jim - 18/01/2012 05:37:51 AM 758 Views
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Crush. *NM* Tigr - 18/01/2012 08:31:06 PM 366 Views
You rarely ever see that kind of stuff in "realistic" movies... DomA - 17/01/2012 11:53:33 PM 800 Views
What about Enough with Jennifer Lopez? Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:05:13 AM 732 Views
I've thought about it before. TaskmasterJack - 18/01/2012 12:22:29 AM 981 Views
So: Action roles should have bigger women. Vivien - 18/01/2012 03:29:38 AM 882 Views
Actually, Buffy is worse because it implies women need magic to be useful. Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:34:09 AM 884 Views
That's what you got from watching Buffy? *NM* Vivien - 18/01/2012 06:38:06 PM 409 Views
There's not much to get FROM Buffy *NM* LadyLorraine - 18/01/2012 06:46:35 PM 364 Views
Joyce comes to mind. And Tara - she hardly ever uses her magic. Oh, and Darla. Legolas - 18/01/2012 10:58:57 PM 766 Views
magic isn't what makes women useful Ray - 19/01/2012 04:51:35 AM 771 Views
I really doubt the outfit did much to make Xena look big. LadyLorraine - 18/01/2012 06:53:59 PM 734 Views
I challenge you to say that while wearing her costume. *NM* Vivien - 18/01/2012 10:03:09 PM 342 Views
I'm pretty sure I would look frumpy and ridiculous LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 12:37:07 AM 753 Views
Lucy Lawless is pretty much Amazonian. Rebekah - 19/01/2012 09:28:11 AM 1103 Views
It's true that she's not as tiny as others. Vivien - 19/01/2012 05:46:59 PM 734 Views
"Not as tiny as the others" is about the best you can say for her. Aemon - 19/01/2012 08:54:03 PM 730 Views
of course she could LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 11:17:39 PM 701 Views
No. Aeryn - 20/01/2012 03:55:20 AM 963 Views
aahahaha. this makes me laugh. *NM* LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 07:18:26 PM 372 Views
Re: A thought about women in action roles Fanatic-Templar - 18/01/2012 04:13:27 AM 742 Views
Indeed. See for example, any Robin Hood made in the last 20 years. Maid Marian HAS to fight. *NM* Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:35:19 AM 347 Views
The problem I had with that scene is what I call Buffy Syndrome. Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:10:59 AM 935 Views

She is some kind of super hero in super hero movie, is't she? *NM* aragornital - 19/01/2012 07:30:50 AM 385 Views
I don't think she's technically supposed to have super powers. Aemon - 19/01/2012 08:58:40 PM 733 Views
The Avengers are going to be such a lame team Cannoli - 19/01/2012 09:13:18 PM 819 Views
This is exactly what I think of the movie as well A Deathwatch Guard - 19/01/2012 11:24:16 PM 838 Views
Contemplating the female action hero…let’s talk about Ripley Jeordam - 19/01/2012 09:24:18 PM 868 Views
I thought Sarah Connor in T2: Judgment Day was a realistic portrayal of the action heroine. Bookwyrm - 20/01/2012 05:57:08 AM 732 Views
So did anyone actually see Haywire this weekend? Aeryn - 23/01/2012 02:34:43 PM 810 Views
It just depends on how much you're willing to accept. Aemon - 23/01/2012 04:23:36 PM 765 Views
You're nitpicking and drawing an arbitrary line. All action is ridiculously unbelievable. *NM* Aeryn - 24/01/2012 04:53:40 AM 460 Views
I tend to agree with you. Nate - 24/01/2012 05:25:45 AM 753 Views
Realism alone is not the issue. Aemon - 24/01/2012 03:42:21 PM 725 Views
Maybe. I just feel there's a distinction between "one in a million" and "impossible." Aemon - 24/01/2012 03:53:35 PM 768 Views
