A girl named JOE RISK?


Haven't seen the movie but she better be a hell of a tomboy... lol

Never heard the name Joanne before?

It's usually abbreviated Jo and not JOE.

Usually, but not always.

In the DVD's closed captioning it's spelled Joe, which bugged me the whole time

Joe Risk would actually be kind of a cool name for a girl who's a super brave and daring tomboy, but she's not and is instead a pretty generic horror movie girl. Now if for example Thora Birch's character in Train who is a college wrestler who kills all the killers at the end and does a wrestling move on one of them was named 'Joe Risk' that would make sense lol.

You're right, it's kind of comic-bookish. Or video-gamish. It would be great for those.

It sounds like an awesome badass girl with lots of spunk who wouldn't hesitate to trade punches with a guy and would definitely not lie down and die quietly.

Too bad the actual character isn't like that, aww.

You know who would have been a great Joe Risk? That girl in You're Next. If you haven't seen it, you should, especially if you like characters like that. She kicked ass & took names & looked good doing it!

reply

I did see that and yes, she was great.

The character was mundane and the actress was horrible.
