Did anybody else find Vickie annoying? - The Born Losers (1967) Discussion

Only slightly at times. But I found her performance a breath of fresh air, compared to other movies out at that time.

Agree. It was pretty different that she said what she said, and did what she did and didn't get smoked. As a lot of b's were, when they screened up that way, back in the 70's. Only legals who could do that where Cops. Street women, no way man.

Different world back then.

Annoying yes but I also think that was her character; a nerd girl.

She's definitely eye-candy but that was part of her problem -- parading all over town in her beach bikini.

No, I'm not implying she's in any way at fault for everything she suffered at the hands of the aptly-named Born Losers, but attractive women who freely display their "assets" will draw unwanted attention from the unsavory element, sooner or later.

"No, I'm not implying she's in any way at fault for everything she suffered ..." Yes, you are. Just say it.

Sorry, I'm not playing your game.

Most women with sexy figures like Vicky's do cover up after leaving the beach. In fact, even Vicky herself put on her blouse when she was being intimidated by the gang.

Yes, women can do everything right and still fall victim to sexual predators. But why risk making it a sure thing by publicly wearing the same next-to-nothing attire that Vicky had worn at the beach?

What was she supposed to wear? A sack? She was at the beach. That's something you wear at the beach. It's not an invitation to rape and only a creep would think so, let alone act on it. That's why we put people who act on their impulses regarding what someone else wears in prison.

There wasn't a thing she could have done to stop the bikers wanting to rape her, since they were looking for attractive girls to rape. There are rapists who attack everyone from babies to octogenarians. Women shouldn't have to stay indoors or cover up from head to toe just because some guy *might* decide he's entitled to rape them.

She didn't annoy me at all but sometimes I wished she would say something instead of shrugging her shoulders.. She was definitely really nice to look at. No wonder they targeted her going around in a bikini

I felt bad for the actress, what with having to recite that ridiculous dialogue. Then I came to IMDb and discovered she wrote the screenplay. Oh well.

She was very cute, and rather sexy, but yeah, also annoying. And EJ definitely cannot act.
