Other good 'girls with guns' movies?


I already know of the "In The Line of Duty" films and "She shoots straight", what other good 'Girls with Guns' films can you recommend?

reply

Ninja Swords is good, instead of guns? Because by the trailer (yes, I didn't watch the movie yet) the movie Naked Weapon is very good!!!

reply

Azumi!! Though that's a girl with a sword, but what a girl!! Also, the two Twins Effect movies.

I love movies with female leads that kick major ass. Elektra was OKAY...but not as good as i expected. I like how acresses are not actually training and getting involved with their roles. I go to Hollywood Video and see this Briget Fonda movie laying there all the time and it makes me think of all those old movies where acresses were just given a gun and told what to do. I mean Tara Reid in alone in the dark was pathetic. Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby on the other hand...

I've got some for you, and the actresses who starred in them. (By the way, you'll find most of these films at Tai Seng Video, www.taiseng.com!


Michelle Yeoh in: "Royal Warriors", "Yes, Madam!"

Cynthia Khan in: "Madam City Hunter", "Yes, Madam 5"

Yukari Oshima in: "Final Run", "Midnight Angel", "Beauty Investigator", "Brave Young Girls", "That's Money", "Angel of Vengeance", "Kickboxer's Tears", "Dreaming the Reality"

Moon Lee in: "Killer Angels", "Dreaming the Reality", "Beauty Investigator", "Kickboxer's Tears", "Nocturnal Demon"

Look them up, they're all classic films!


"Heil Smoochy!"

Some good ones are anime. I suggest Noir and Madlax. Some people like the English dubs of these, but I only watch them with the subtitles on and the original Japanese soundtrack. See here:

I'm also a huge fan of "girls and guns" genre movies and "So Close" is one of my personal favorites. I've also seen my share of these type of movies and love movies like "Naked Weapon", "Angel", "Heroic Trio", "Police Story 3: Super Cop", "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" and "She Shoots Straight".

Movies like "Silver Hawk", "Azumi", "Sky High", "Underworld" and "Shura Yuki Hime" were okay but not great.

"Ultra Violet", "Æon Flux" and "Resident Evil" all had potential but failed miserably.

There's an upcoming Thai movie called "Chocolate" that's supposed to be very good.

Anyone have other recommendations?


reply

I think 'DOA: Dead Or Alive' and 'Silent Hill' can be added to this list. Not to mention 'Resident Evil: Extinction'. What about 'The Brave One' (with Jodie Foster)?

Hovis!

The Replacement Killers ;)

reply

I really liked "Naked Weapon" ;o) Anya Wu was hot! ^^

one of my favorite HK actress is "Cynthia Khan" but that has all been mentioned before ... ;o)

just my 2 cents ...

reply

Yeah Naked Weapon is good an so is The Machine Girl.

The best is Patrick Leung's 'Beyond Hypothermia' w/the sublime Wu Chien-lien.
