Henchwomen Fight

In web series The Sandra West Diaries season 1 episode titled Silencers and Mini Skirts aired 2016. Actress Rachel Farrow plays as villainess Vivian Ventura.

I think this is the first time for me to watch Superseven / Sandra West videos, the video felt inspired from the 60s movies, which I rarely watch, and I'm very ignorant about the 60s pop-culture..

When checking the channel I watched this video of actress Olivia Dunkley talking about the horrible news that Robert Griffith, the creator of the series sadly left our world 💔💔💔, I only know about it now..

So, I hope it's fun to watch, and let's start with the first episode of The Sandra West Diaries..

Ok, this episode they basically use nothing when someone is shot, they just act like it, which is really cool, I hate when they use bad CGI in modern movies, it feels like someone is scratching the video, as if someone grabbed a pen and went wrote on top of the video, it looks stupid and annoying..

Ok, the fight scenes actually looks better than most of what I watch from modern movies, It's so obvious Sandra West is hitting the air, but at least she can act and move as she's fighting, like, the acting is good actually, they episode focus on what they got not what they lack, and what they got that they can act, and in the end, it's fun, it doesn't try too hard to be something it isn't, I will probably watch an episode every week or so and will update it here..

Maybe 60s movies aren't bad after all..

 Anyway, you can watch the entire episode here.. 

In 1993 movie CIA II: Target Alexa. Actress Lori Fetrick plays as villainess Lana.

Cool, the action starts around 7 minutes, action scenes in the 90s were something else, we also get a fight on top of a moving van, something we rarely see in action movies even then, it's in the dark, and you can barely see anything, but still, it's interesting, although it's at the start of the movie and it would make way more sense if it was on a high point of the movie against a character more challenging and more significant..

After thinking about it, I think I never seen female Vs female fight on top of a moving vehicle, not as far as I remember, it would be really cool especially with a good camera work, like, is it more dangerous or that no one ever thought about making such fights with female characters!!

Isn't this movie have a female lead? 13 minutes in and we only see Mark Graver not Alexa!!

Ok, we see Alexa just afterwards, it's like they got Mark Graver to do the action interesting stuff at the start of the movie, then we get her doing nothing LOL..

We see our villainess around 16 minutes, I'm so in love with her, I would die to be with her 💘💘💘💘.. I will never love a character as much as 90s henchwoman type characters..

Wow, this is one of the greatest intros of female villains ever and Lori Fetrick performance is amazing, what a goddess.. You have to watch this scene, I absolutely love it, she's like a predator luring her preys, she even flickering her tongue as she's staring at a meal, when it comes to action movies, nothing can be as good as the 90s..

This clip can easily go viral on social media, just the way she talks and her lines would get people so hooked on the character..

After Lana got the security keys, we see her again with the rest of the gang around 21 minutes and we get another great gun fight scene..

That scene is funny, Lana is taking a security guard and bashing his head against the wall, it reminds me of a scene from Superhero Movie when Dragonfly was doing the same thing to impress Jill Johnson..

Lana is awesome in this movie, there's absolutely zero chance I would ever watch this movie if not for her character..

Lorenzo Lamas and Kathleen Kinmont made a TV show around this movie was released, so I assume it was popular that they also made Lorenzo Lamas a co-star of this movie, because he's not playing a secondary character of the movie, his character is main character exactly like Kathleen Kinmont's..

We see our gorgeous villainess again around 38 minutes..

The thing when you have an actor who can't fight, which is very common when it comes to Hollywood movies, most of the work is on the stunt performers, they have to flip and fall as the actor waving their hand on air LOL, it's different from Chinese movies, in Chinese movies usually both the actors who play the main character and the villains at least have a background in marital arts, that's why fight scenes especially in the 90s, when it comes to Chinese movies it's raw and need a great efforts from the actors, while with Hollywood movies the weight is mostly on the directors, you can even say in Hollywood directors make the stars, while in China stars make themselves..

Usually when it comes to 90s movies, when you have a henchwoman character they barely talk, as they often are stuntwomen, so, when I hear Lana delivering lines in the movie around 52 minutes, these are genuinely the happiest moments of my life 😍😍😍😍..  

Around 57 minutes our villainess starts a fight with Alexa..

Around 1 hour 1 minute, Lana betray her former evil organization to join another evil organization and shoots one of her former comrades, every time Lana speaks and deliver her great lines, I fall in love with her, I don't care, she's the most beautiful women in the world, a goddess worth worshipping 💘💘💘.

You know, the famous scene of Gus Fring in Breaking Bad walking as the bullets everywhere around him, and he just keep walking, You see the exact same scene around 1 hour mark of Franz Kluge who was played by John Savage, it's quite possible that this movie inspired the iconic scene of Gus Fring one of the most famous scenes of the character.

I think the villains she shoots called Hector, I've seen him in other 90s movies, but I guess he's not mentioned on IMDB, anyway, the way he react after Lana shoots him is so hilarious that it made me laugh..

Around 1 hour 7 minutes Lana captured the heroine, and basically after that every one kept turning against each others, which was kind of ridiculous, but also fun and funny..

The final fight starts around 1 hour 21 minutes..

I just found a recent clip of the great Lori Fetrick you can watch it here, She's as beautiful as ever, and she's the producer of a Netflix show called "Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators", these shows deserve more recognition, and Lori Fetrick is a great person, and I'm happy to see that she still in the business, I'm not aware of the original show of American Gladiators, but, we really shows like these now more than ever, thanks to these shows we got an amazing character like Lana.

In 1993 movie Hot Shots! Part Deux. Actress Brenda Bakke plays as villainess Michelle Rodham Huddleston.

In 2013 movie 009-1: The End of the Beginning. Actresses Nao Nagasawa, Mami Abe and Aya Sugimoto play as villains Milliam, 020's Secretary and Clyne. 

This one is going to be fun..

We see a secondary villainess at the start of the movie..

The protognist basically killed the boyfriend of the secondary villainess and his men, but the villainess survived and we see her again around 9 minutes mark, she fight the protognist, 009-1, then ran away..

 009-1 in this movie really reminds me of Kyle XY, it's possible that the show inspired the movie, Kyle XY was a great show, too bad it was cancelled, but at least it wasn't deconstructed by Hollywood, which would be way worse, at least you get to have a good memory of a show that you wished it continued not to see your favorate show being purposly destroyed by the followers of the moralistic realistic failed artist..

009-1 went to save Doctor Clyne after she was kidnapped in a warehouse, 009-1 a nice fight with the female kidnappers, not sure if they are villains tho, they may end up being the good guys, since Doctor Clyne is a villainess after all..

Around 22 minutes Doctor Clyne mercilessly shoots her kidnappers after they were defeated, I'm so in love with Doctor Clyne, a woman of science, gorgous and evil, she's so perfect 😍😍😍😍..

The main villainess appear around 26 minutes, and had a great fight scene with the solders who went to free Doctor Clyne then with 009..

I can't belive 30 minutes already passed, this is good, I don't care about the budget, if I'm watching a movie and half an hour passed without me noticing it, that's a good movie, and for me, it's better than a movie with 1 billion dollar budget that feels tedious and boring to watch..

Ok, here's a scene I find really intersting, basically our villainess went after the heroine with her helicopter, and fired at her, as the heroine was running, a child was in danger, basically she saved her, and the mother of the child saw that the heroine was basically a machine, she called her a monster and grapped her daughter and walked away, and out of anger the heroine used her fist to hit the ground.. Here's why this scene is extremly intersting, You can check the original artilce of How to use the evil values to make moralistic story here, Imagine if the protognist really looks unattractive, like how Al Simmons ended up to be in Spawn, or Creature in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the emotional impact in this case would extremly powerful, the mother sees her daughter, and instead of the heroine being rewarded for her bravery and for saving a child, she is met with hate, and you seeing how heartbreaking the moment is, you get to feel the emotion the protognist is having, it would be extremly impactful, especially with a good performance. 

So the protognist called Mirine Hoffman, or at least that what she decided to call herself in front of Chris..

WTF, we see 020's Secretary and Stinger's girlfrind meeting together with 020's Secretary losing her eye, like, when did that happen? Mirine barely knocked her out!!

The final fight between Mirine and Stinger's girlfrind starts around 46 minutes..

I could be wrong, but one of the things I've noticed from watching Asian movies that they often fail to mention the actual name of the charcters and focus more on their function in society, for example, you have 020's Secretary, you have other charcter that can be described as the mob boss or something, it's like "He/She the one who do such function" not "Their name is such and their function is this", even when the charcter is essential to the story and active in it, could be wrong, maybe it's artistic choice to focus more on the charcters that are center of the story and for the sake of simplicity instead of overcmplicating things for the audiance and giving them too much information that it makes it too hard for them to absorb especially if the work is targetting foreign audiances who already focus on the subtitle as the watch the movie..

Around 53 minutes, Mirine went to the warehouse where she think Clyne went to after she was taken, probably because Mirine think that Clyne could be her mother, and it's possible that her mother in the meaning she's the one created her, similar to Creature in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, who I remember in the movie kept calling Frankenstein his father..

Ok, Mirine went into a trap in the warehouse and was taken by the main villainess..

WTF, I'm crying, Chris is the one behind this all, and he did it in a very smart way..

This movie has a lot of female villains, and all of them are unique, I love it..

And once Mirine went to the warehouse, you get plot twist after another that it feels like this sketch from Key & Peele..

Around 1 hour 7 minutes Doctor Clyne make an evil laugh 😍😍😍Then Chris sent the zombies after our beloved evil doctor..

Fuck you, Chris, really, after all Doctor Clyne did for the sake of evil, you send the zombies after her, you bring shame to all evil people!

The zombie fight scene with Mirine is so bloody.

The final fight between Mirine and Milliam starts around 1 hour 13 minutes.

Chris was killed by mistake by Milliam, he was a useless villain anyway, I like the plot twist he did, but he kept doing dumb decisions..

That was a unique, all I can say about the movie is this, it's dumb, genius and super fun.
