What happened to Lucy Liu?

There were some scenes where you can see some nipples. Was that really her?

No offense tool4205, but just because a movie makes "millions of dollars", doesn't mean that it was profitable, or even that it made its money back.

CHARLIE'S ANGELS:FULL THROTTLE's budget was $120 million, it LOST money domestically, and only made a profit in worldwide release.

LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN Worldwide box office: $56,308,881. Willis makes over $20 million a picture (although obviously will take less when he feels like it, and if he does, he usually makes it up as points on the gross), and neither Hartnett, Liu, Kingsley, nor Freeman make small salaries. Pretty hard to imagine it turned a profit at all.

DOMINO Worldwide box office: $22,904,376. Its budget is estimated at $50 million, so no profit there.

BALLISTIC:ECKS VS. SEVER Worldwide box office: $19,924,033. Budget: $70 million. Serious loss of cash here.

KILL BILL obviously made big chunks of money.

As far as whether any of these were good or not, that's all up to personal preference. Only ones in this bunch that I've seen as of yet are the Kill Bill movies, which I enjoyed, and the Charlie's Angels movies: I thought the first one was okay, but when watching Full Throttle I couldn't sit through it although I tried three times. By my third attempt I wanted to hunt down McG and skin him alive with a potato peeler.

I agree with you. People often do not understand the acting biz very well. Really big name actors do low-bidget movies even after they have made "blockbusters".If an actor is finding steady work they are "successful",without a doubt.The money does not have to be huge paychecks and the movies,Tv,etc,to not need to be at the top.I worked with Lucy in March and April on ROCKETT here in Jacksonville,Florida and she was a delight to be around. I should only be so lucky to work with her again.

I'm sorry, but he's right. They may have made millions but they did not make the large profits needed to recoup their budgets. The critics hated them, but these days that means nothing. The point is, they were not profitable ansd that makes them bombs, whether you liked them or not. I liked "Zardoz," but I admit it was a critical and financial failure. I like Tom Selleck, but I must concede most of his films were flops. I like Lucy Liu too, but that doesn't make her a great success.

Acting is a cannibalistic, man and woman-eating business. If your films do not make significant profits, you share the blame, unless it's "artsy" or a "cause celebre" film like "Aileen." You must be bankable, not just talented.

Besides, Lucy Liu is getting older and she just can't play the Asian kick-butt sex-kitten any longer. Maggie Q has replaced her. Hollywood still considers female sex goddesses through at 40 or so. She's no Jane Fonda, so that's pretty much it unless she pulls a Raquel Welch, improves her talent, and changes her image.

producers *beep* up the release. and the movie. i'm just waiting for the director's cut. the good stuff in the movie was obviously Gutierrez's work. i hate how people categorize him by Snakes on a Plane. he, like, rewrote the rewritten version of that for no money. and after, it got rewritten again. so to answer your question: lucy didn't hit rock bottom, the producers sunk the movie.

It wasn't a trainwreck? Okay, it was a plane crash. Sorry, but it was BAD!! The ending made no sense at all.

PS: Hail Bruce Campbell. In Hollywood, a "modest" success works often, makes $1-2 million a year, and often outlasts the stars, both professionally and physically. I should have such "modest" success.

Lucky # Slevin was amazing.

Charlie's Angels Full Throttle was not a trainwreck. Geez.

I agree, they were awesome. She was amazing in Slevin, it should be a crime that a film like that is underrated. It just makes no sense whatsoever.

Lucy Liu and Bai Ling are both minor talents.

Perhaps it's because the prescription on your glasses ran out?
