She Fu: Difference between revisions

Tag: HHVM
Line 50:
* The ''[[Charlie's Angels]]'' films features copious over-the-top She Fu.
* In ''[[Batman Returns]]'', some of the circus acrobats uses both She Fu and He Fu.
** In ''[[Western Animation/Batman Beyond The Return Of The Joker|Batman Beyond The: Return Ofof Thethe Joker]]'', the Dee-Dee twins often She-Fu'ed.
* In ''[[Blade Runner]]'', the replicant Pris beats up Deckard by using She Fu. The contrast between super-powered replicant's weird style and the pragmatic survival skills of Deckard is the central drama of their fight.
* In ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man 2]]'', Black Widow uses over-the-top She Fu (and a dash of [[Masked Luchador|Lucha Libre]]) to clear the way to the [[Big Bad]]'s computer system. The slow motion seems to highlight the unnecessary nature, but she looked good doing it!
Line 59:
* Averted in most of Cynthia Rothrock's films. Her moves weren't any showier than male martial arts actors of the time, and she would regularly get brutally beaten by guys twice her size until the [[Heroic Second Wind]] kicked in. Or third wind, or fourth...
* Averted hard by the ''[[Kill Bill]]'' movies. The Bride gave as good as she took. This led a few reviewers to claim the movies were hateful toward women since it essentially meant the character was being put through everything any male action character would be put through. Apparently, the critics wanted [[She Fu]] instead.
