[sp4nna]

What do you think a stereotypical female lead in an ACTION ADVENTURE film should be like?

Lara Croft.

The Bride (Uma Thurman).

As long as they don't scream all the time I can cope.

 

[Eleanore L]

Could you describe what qualities they should also have?

 

[Hondaalldaii!!!]

I'd say a few are

Intelligence
resourcefulness
resilience
able to handle herself in a fight if need be

Pretty much Ripley in the in the Alien movies

 

[Mocha Latte]

Beat me to that one!

 

[OwlTotem]

Looking at my post I seem to have developed a stutter when I type ( in the in the ) ???

I don't care what they're like, just as long as they don't have kung-fu experience, even though they've never had lessons and have grown up in a stately home.

I think the most obvious answer is Sigourney Weaver in the Alien movies.

Are you using us to do your coursework or something? hehe

I enjoyed CA and its sequel. Hardly cerebral entertainment, but jolly all the same.

Yeah, I think it's enjoyable too. It's also a pastiche - practically a parody - of 1960s views of gender roles in an action film - and should be viewed in that light.

Well you guys are helping me with the forum section of my coursework yes... lol I hope you don't mind.

Do you think films with female leaRAB are made more to empower women or just for the men to stare at? Opinions please... & examples.
