François Truffaut directed Jean-Pierre Léaud as “Antoine Doinel” in a series of films that went through stages in his life from young boy to young man to a married man. It’s not one film per se, but it is the same character playing a young person and an older person. I suppose the same could be said of any movie with sequels, but this one really shows the age difference - the timespan is decades. The Before Trilogy also has this kind of timespan, except it doesn’t show “Jesse” as a kid. Damn, that would’ve been cool to see a movie that does the same thing with that character using the same actor (I like to imagine he’s the same character from Dead Poets’ Society).
Hm. I will have to peruse through those extensive lists. It’s definitely from around the time Bloodsport and Kickboxer came out - and it looked the same. It’s definitely not a Chinese or Japanese martial arts movie. It’s also not made before 1987 or after 1993, so the timeline is pretty short.
It could be one of those Sexploitation Women In Prison movies from Brazil. I was thinking of either Amazon Jail or Bare Behind Bars. It’s been a while since I’ve seen either one, but your description of the cynical woman sounded familiar.
