Ok-can't give you T2 because Hamilton didn't really do anything. Mulan was a cartoon & not at all in the category of what we're discussing. I didn't care for Crouching TIger & the Charlie's Angels movies were horrible. There's nothing wrong with empowering women on film. But the movies I listed-AND CHARLIE'S ANGELS-don't do that.Philly Phanboy said:Here's a list of female action movies. Of those movies, the more successful ones are probably:
Aliens Trilogy
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Kill Bill series
Charlie's Angels series
Underworld series
Mulan
Resident Evil series
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
La Femme Nikita (it did spawn a knockoff English version and a TV series)
What do these more successful movies all have in common? For the majority of them they are action movies first and foremost and the girl power schtick is kept to a minimum or in the case of Charlie's Angels girl power is actually looked at in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
