I am checking out Hard Revenge Milly tonight, the chick from Blood Vampire couldn't hold a crown.
Looks like Jee Jaa is owning the crown so far...
Original fresh fights in the last 30 mins. Very impressive, original film. I liked it.
Jeeja is #1.
Rina Takeda is probably #2. Although her only movie so far, much like Raging Phoenix, is bad.
The girl from Hard Revenge Milly isn't really a martial artist and so probably shouldn't enter the discussion.
All the plot you need is that The Warriors have to "bop their way back to Coney." —alanmc1uk
after seeing her in Chocolate and Raging Phoenix..
this lady is amazing.
Her physical skills are more impressive than anyone I have ever seen.
I would like to see her recreate the going into a dojo and fighting everyone...Bruce Lee did, Jet Li, Donnie Yen.. let her.. She is awesome...
and she is just a cute little girl...
Id suggest watching HK films in the 80s for the likes of Moon Lee, Cynthia Rothrock (lord not her american stuff tho), and Yukari Oshima (tho Angela Mao is a very personal fav)
hell even today Id rather watch Zoe Bell in fights like the bathroom scene in Angel of Death
I suppose when Jeeja (or the any number of names shes credited under) is more brutal, like in the final fight of this film, im fine but the rest of her moves and timing are pretty floaty and lack stiff contact for which Thai fighters are famous. Coming off the heels of hard Thai styles like Tony Ja and the heavy styles of current Donnie Yen its a bit passive.
The movie was okay, doubt i need to watch it twice, but I suggest looking at a bit more fight scene wise if shes the best youve ever seen (not to take away from her talent)
I actually like Rina Takeda better....but again i like heavy hitting over flash....
Michelle Yeoh?
