THINGS YOU WON’T FIND HERE (not because I forgot them, but because I didn’t want them in this video):
·Charlie’s Angels (Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu) cause they’re not action women, they’re just common whores.
·Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), cause she’s more a male fantasy than a true action heroine (not that I don’t like Angelina or the videogames, but I find the movies very dull and disappointing).
·Keira Knightley (King Arthur, Pirates of the Caribbean, Domino), Kate Beckinsale (Van Helsing, Underworld) and Natalie Portman (The Phantom Menace and The Attack of the Clones), cause even I can kick their skinny, skinny, skinny asses.
·”Aeon Flux”, “Ultraviolet” and “Resident Evil Apocalypse”, cause they’re very bad movies.

The video editing …
The video editing itself is similar to what I do so I know how much time and effort is takes. Very impressive work. I think a trailer soundtrack title like Lacrimosa or perhaps Rise of The Avenger would have suited it better. But each to their own. 5/5.

I was thinking …
I was thinking tonight about making a list of women that were “capable” in action films (not just window dressing).. The ones that you would trust with your life.. and then I found this

Great comment, …
Great comment, thank you! I can’t stand women being just eye candy, specially action women. Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis or Harrison Ford have always been realistic action heroes, why do action women have to be half naked and wear high heels? That’s not real, it’s just male fantasy. You wouldn’t trust Charlie’s Angels with your life, but you would trust Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor

I’d go for the …
I’d go for the Crouching Tiger woman, but the rest are just meh. Sometimes you question if some of these women are bisexual if they action roles go so far.
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:26 pm
So you’re saying …
So you’re saying that if a woman is strong, brave, reckless, violent, tough… gotta be bisexual? That’s a pathetic comment. What the fuck does sexuality have to do with anything?! And who gives a shit if these women are heterosexual or not?! If straight girls gotta be delicate and sweet and obedient… fuck them, I prefer being a bad ass lesbian and not having to deal with men like you!

She’s not here cause I don’t like the movie nor the character nor the actress.
Haha, sorry, mate, I forgot to include G.I.Jane in the list of women I didn’t want to include in the video

That was awesome… the ladies of action are the best. You should have had a bit more of Summer Glau from Serenity though…

Thanks, glad you …
Thanks, glad you like it.
Don’t get me wrong, I adore Summer Glau as River Tam, but I wanted the video to be short and fast, couldn’t repeat too many ladies, so I focused on a few. I might do a Serenity/ River Tam video soon
