Intimidating Woman (seeking suggestions) (sh.itjust.works)

I'm on to 'intimidating woman' as something I'd like to see in a movie.

I just watched Red Sonja and, while I thought the movie 99% terrible with uninspired dialogue, I really loved this very last scene. This is after she beat the badguys and saved the world, so she is in total boss mode. I realized I'd love to watch an entire movie like this last scene; an intimidating woman. Action and pwning people.

What also comes to mind is The Expendables

How Stalone wants to portray 'the manliest superboss'. I'd love to see this concept but with a female character; a woman that is 'the manliest superboss'. I know yall hate Gina Caranno since she's on the trump side, but her character in mandalorian comes to mind as one I know fulfilling this role. She's big and tough and intimidating and plays it.

Any movies or shows with an 'intimidating woman'?

Atomic blonde, Charlize Theron nails it

[–] impudentmortal@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Michelle Rodriguez usually gets typecasted into those types of roles. She was really good in the latest Dungeons and Dragons movie. Actually that movie had several badass female characters.

Other movies that could work are:

  • Mad Max series
  • The Matrix series
  • Wanted
  • The Terminator series
  • Supercop 1+2

I can't belivie that Xena, Warrior Princess has not been mentioned yet. A must see for that type of content.

Kill Bill, Terminator 2, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

You will enjoy "the old guard" as it centers around badass immortal women (with some badass immortal men as supporting characters)

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’ve got to second The Old Guard. Charlize Theron is seriously bad ass in it. And everyone else is too. That movie is so much better than it has any right to be. It’s like nobody got the memo and just went balls to the wall.

Shame about the sequel though. Really a disappointment

[–] Xkaliber@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Planet Terror

The first 4 Alien movies (with Sigourney Weaver)

The first 2 Terminator movies (though Linda Hamilton does kinda get overshadowed by Arnie)

The Resident Evil movies

Fede Alverez's remake of Evil Dead

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

The new age Evil Dead movies are some of my favorites. Definitely underappreciated I feel like.

[–] bitofarambler@crazypeople.online 5 points 2 days ago

That red sonja actress, matilda Lutz, is very good, revenge 2018 is pretty great.

Barbarian 2022. Prettyyyyy intimidating.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

The last seduction. No action but brutal.

I was expecting a clip from the original Red Sonja. I totally forgot they did a remake 😄

Horrible Bosses
