Line 318:
* In [[Sanctum]], the lead female character (Victoria) dies, with her dead body later seen.
* The 1997 adaptation of [[Starship Troopers]] featured both men and women being ripped apart by giant space bugs. One womand gets dragged down a burrow by her crushed legs, another is bisected by a closing emergency door, while another is impaled through the shoulder. The women suffer just as much as the men, and Paul Verhoeven goes into excruciating detail with every kill, making it hard to really find standouts. The only notable female death given any attention is Dizzy, but even then, her death was no cleaner than any other in the film.
** However, one of Verhoeven's aims with the film was to demonize the military... the fact that the future military of Earth considers women just as expendable as men was almost certainly intended to show how evil they were, while the male deaths were just business as usual, notable only for the sheer number of them.
