i found it odd that the girls didn't try to team up and attempt to kill madam m. it was clearly impossible when they were kids but by the time their training was done they could have pooled their skills and defeated her.
shareI agree the lack of any kind of logic to this movie was astonishing.
Hell Streetfighter II and Batman & Robin used to my picks for worst movie of all time but the 2/3 of Naked Weapon I forced myself through was worse then both those movies combined.
It is called brainwashing guys. It is an age old, tried and true method of controlling people. That is why they showed the two scenes of girls going against the program and dying. By the time they had enough skill to defeat Madam M and the guards they no longer had any reason to go against them as they were no longer thinking rationally.
shareThats a good point I just thought that after finally getting out into the real World following thier final test they may have at least thought about rebelling.
Sad thing is if the movie had been handled better it could have been something special imo.
?
Charlene did think about the word "rebellion" after she met her mother again and fell in love with Jack. She always said Jack was a good guy and that sweet sensation was strong enough to make her break the ties with Madam M.
At the harbour scene where Madam M arrived in her black [Porsche?], she told Charlene and Kat that one more job would end their contract. Would your internet company negotiate with you if you tell them "sir, I'm very loyal to your company so please let me stay"?
Nope,
they feel no allegiance or even sympathy for Mrs. M like a brainwashed person would do.
Wehre are these brainwashing methods? Mrs. M tried to control them by terror, fear and the hope that they could get free after five years in her service.

These women may have had Stockholm Syndrome towards Madame M.
Please read more below about it.
In psychology, Stockholm Syndrome is an apparently paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express empathy and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness.
The Syndrome has also been explained in evolutionary terms by a phenomenon sometimes referred to as "Capture-bonding".
In the view of evolutionary psychology "the mind is a set of information-processing machines that were designed by natural selection to solve adaptive problems faced by our hunter-gatherer ancestors.
