If you’ve never seen kung fu hustle don’t sleep on it any longer.

Michelle Rodriguez in basically anything.
It’s so funny to see her being a goofball in interviews.
Weekly reminder that your favorite gangster actors are artists that probably acted in school plays. Some of those actors forget that too and think they’re actually bad ass in real life cough pesci cough
Except Danny Trejo.
The original Lisbeth Salander from the european movies!
Valeria (Conan The Barbarian), Zula (Conan The Destroyer)
My Latino parents saw me watching Kung Fu hustle and wanted to know if I was watching El Chavo del Ocho, Asian version cause of the neighborhood scenes
Agent May.
(Don’t call her The Cavalry, she hates that.)
What’s with Lee Yeong-ae in her role as Lee Geum-ja in Park Chan-Wooks Lady Vengeance?
Darlene from mr robot .
Always had a theory the whole show was actually her story…
Its not
Okoye (Danai Guria) from the Black Panther movies. Went with my husband to see this movie and when we were walking back to the car he said “Damn, Okoye was hot, she reminds me of you.” ❤️ He also has a thing for Grace Mallory from the show The Boys. I think I created a monster.
Yes I see all these, but how many had a private, white slimline telephone?
Ah, bucket.
Hello, Mrs. Bucket!
It’s pronounced bouqueeet!
Rita Vrataski aka Full Metal Bitch from Edge of Tomorrow.
Jo Kang Ja from Angry Mom and her legendary flying kick.
That girl is legendary. Je suis allé revoir l’extrait après avoir lu ce commentaire. edit: episode 2, 11:30-13:45. That’s how Bang Wool ascended to the Beolgoopo’s Sashimi of legend.
Also, Jang Man-wol from Hotel Del Luna.
Il y en a beaucoup dans les dramas coréens. Là je pense à :
- Choi Yeon-ah dans You are the Best Lee Soon Shin
- la génialisme Park Hoo-ja dans My Fellow Citizens
- Ji Soo-Hyun dans Big Issue
- Kang Sun-ah dans Goodbye wife
- la FL dans Sell Your Haunted House
Il y a bcp de femme forte en général. Mais souvent on ne peut pas les qualités de badass parce qu’il y a un côté force physique / sexy/charismatique au personnage qu’on retrouve moins dans les personnages écrits pour un public féminin.
Do Rahe dans Be Arrogant rentre dedans, la sexualisation en moins.
Pareil pour Kang Yunhe dans Modern Farmer pourtant joué par la superbe Lee Honey.Côté Jdrama, il y a Sangenya Machi dans Your Hause Is My Business Nami dans Caution, Hazardous Wife ou Yamaguchi Kumiko dans Gokusen.
Bon, Gokusen, c’est un cas à part, mais pour les autres, se sont des rôles de femmes fortes et belles mais la beauté n’est pas sexualisée.
Oui c’est ça des femmes fortes, parfois importantes voire même imposantes mais pas forcément des badass.
Il y a aussi Cindy dans Producer que j’ai bien. C’est le rôle qui m’a fait aimé IU.
The Bride (Kill Bill), aka Beatrix Kiddo
Lisbeth from girl with the dragon tattoo.
