Movie Name : Hercules: The Legendary Journeys War Bride
Actress Name : Josephine Davison
Character Name : Princess Alexa
Year : 1997

In tv show Hercules: The Legendary Journeys season 3 episode titled War Bride aired 1997. Actress Josephine Davison plays as villainess Alexa.

Hercules will always be one of the greatest shows ever made, and I'm talking about one aspect that even Game Of Thrones can't compete with, and it's the aesthetic of the show, the costumes, the makeup, the accessories, the scenery, the design of the set, I wish if there was a HD version of the show, it's so fun to watch just by looking at it, even if there are other shows that came after it with better story and choreography and way more advanced CGI, the aesthetics of Hercules are unmatched..

When it comes to the aesthetics of Hercules, it plays a huge role to help the immersion in the story, it's very unique and gives the show its unique character, everything in the show is made to make you feel, the episode started now you are entering a different world, and the way they use nature and the idea of filming in New Zealand, give you the unique feeling that this isn't the world of this time, but it's a story from another time before the industrial revolution, this is so different from how most shows were made afterwards and how many of them are heavily dependent on the CGI..

Anyway, Princess Melissa was taken as she was asleep, and it's not clear who is behind it, but Hercules saved her not knowing who she was..

The action fight scenes are very basic, but with a professional camera work they look really nice, the camera is part of the action, it's not common to see camera work as good in fight scenes, it's also not easy..

Around 35 minutes, Alexa successfully tracked Melissa into a temple, and she intends that Melissa doesn't leave the temple alive to try to claim the throne, and we get Alexa's final confrontation..

Movie Name : The Spy Next Door

Actress Name : Katherine Boecher

Character Name : Tatiana

Year : 2010

In 2010 movie The Spy Next Door. Actress Katherine Boecher plays as villainess Tatiana.

The movie starts with nostalgia moments from Jackie's movies, only Jackie Chan can do that in his movies, the guy is a legend and basically a global phenomena..

We see our villainess for the first time around 15 minutes mark, as the main villain manged to escape and she was greeting him..

Around 18 minutes there is an emotional moment when Bob Ho accidentally heard Farren talking about why she really doesn't want her mom to marry him..

We see Tatiana again around 23 minutes, and her East European accent sound really beautiful..

This a very weird movie for Jackie, I'm used watching him as adventurer, cop, fighter, or whatever, not usually see him like in a romcom family movie like this one..

Nice, Jackie is singing in Chinese, I'm not sure which Chinese dialect, I can't tell.

Around 47 minutes, Tatiana manged to track Jackie, and around 50 minutes mark she found Jackie, and they had a very short fight..

Jackie Chan is when should mean when a movie call itself action comedy, you basically laugh watching the fight scenes.

The villains caught the hero around 1 hour 11 minutes, and Tatiana found out that he was making a trap for them, whenever Tatiana talks it sounds as if she's singing, like her voice sound like music..

Around 1 hour 18 minutes, The hero manged to escape using CIA advanced tech and cut himself loose, but Tatiana went to the hero's girlfriend's home to get some formula they downloaded by mistake, and from there the final confrontation of the movie..

The different between Jackie and any other action star, that his action is often comedic and have comedic effect, something is really hard to do comparing to do only action or only comedy movie, a really fun movie to watch.

Movie Name : Vampire in Vegas

Actress Name : Rocky DeMarco and Delia Sheppard

Character Name : Shayla and VanHelm

Year : 2009

In 2009 movie Vampire in Vegas. Actresses Melissa Brasselle AKA Rocky DeMarco and Delia Sheppard play as villains Shayla and Dr VanHelm.

I was curious why IMDB use the name Rocky DeMarco instead of Melissa Brasselle, and apparently Rocky DeMarco is the name the actress prefer to use to honor her mother, which is cool.

The movie starts with narration with the voice of Tony Todd who is playing Sylvian in the movie, RIP, Tony Todd 💔💔💔.

We see our gorgeous evil doctor around 8 minutes..

It's amazing we are getting a decent screen time of Dr VanHelm in this movie..

This movie is stupid, if not for the villainess, I would never watch LOL..

Around 29 minutes Shayla gives a dance show to a group of young men, then left her card..

Wow, Miranda Kwok in this movie, what a nice surprise!!

Around 41 minutes, the night club vampires started attacking the young men who went there after Shayla left the card for them..

This movie is so random, like, are these guys are supposed to be essential to the story!

In movies like these, when Tony Todd make you smile the smile always comes with a heavy impulsion to cry, it's a weird feeling, the character is funny, but at the same time, you know the actor you used to enjoy watching for a long time, and used to see on screen, is no longer with us, it's weird heavy feeling..

The movie started to be really good as a comedy..

Around 1 hour 2 minutes we see Dr VanHelm as she was about to lethally inject the hero after she extracted the serum from him, but was interrupted by Detective Stanton and Detective O'Hara, as the two detective were about to save the hero, thankfully Shayla was there to stop them to make sure VanHelm's evil plans aren't interrupted.

Then Dr VanHelm died in the most stupid way possible by Shayla LOL..

The hero's vampire face around 1 hour 13 minutes is hilarious..

It's so bad it's good movie, and should be seen like that, I kind of watch it as a comedy TBH, and it's not boring, VanHelm is my favorite character in this movie, she's so gorgeous, absolute goddess..

Movie Name : The Ancient City of Loulan

Actress Name : Jingwen Xu

Character Name : Xiao Cang

Year : 2022

In 2022 movie The Ancient City of Loulan. Actress Jingwen Xu plays as villainess Xiao Cang. A movie I watch for the first time, hope it's fun..

So basically the movie starts with Cang killing a poor man as she's leading expedition to steal Chinese historical relics..

As they were digging, they were attacking with supernatural bad CGI insects, the actors are doing their best, but the CGI looks awful, and to be fair, I don't think they can be done practically, that's why many movies when they do effects like that, they get dark settings so they don't look obviously fake.

Basically the first 6 minutes of the movie feel as if they don't belong there, especially that they aren't background story of one of the characters but part of the story of the current movie, and they feel that they belong at least half hour in..

Hell, she just cut man's arm around 12 minutes, I didn't expect that, especially in ChinFucking hese movie..

The creators of this movie is having so much fun with the characters, like the heroes basically endanger each others for their own benefit, in a comedic way, the movie basically treat the story as a video game, and I really like it, it's fun.

I'm sure that's not like the greatest action movie ever made, but it's so good, I will never enjoy any modern Hollywood movie as much as I'm enjoying this one, I'm so immersed in the action, I'm not paying attention to the time, and if an action movie achieved that, no matter how small or big its budget is, it succeeded..

So, we have the heroine called Yi Ran played by Kimmy Tong Fei, and the hero Chen Xiao played by Max Mok Siu-Chung, and their friend who rescued Ni Qiu played by Li Yi, and the main villain Hikari Tori played by Minowa Yasufumi..

Around 42 minutes Xiao Cang impaled a collaborator with a sword, she's soulless, she didn't even flinch, like a deadly scorpion fast and deadly..

Ok, the hero put Xiao Cang under the sword to force Hikari Tori's hand to let them go, but Hikari Tori basically didn't care, and the hero was like "You are a lunatic", like, what did you expect? The man minutes ago was trying to find the secret to immortality to his emperor, not himself, not a woman he loves, but the emperor, and if he's willing to find and gift immortality it means he doesn't even care about his own life, and thus wouldn't care about the lives of others to achieve what he considered higher purpose, yeah, I always say villains for me metaphorical of selfishness, and they mostly are, but in this case we are dealing with a selfless villain, which why I personally don't find heroes appealing to me, due to their selfless nature, that's why I also consider heroes a collective localized concept while villains are individualistic globalized concept, because if you see Hikari Tori from the collective angle, the character sacrifice the self, deny their individuality for his collective, that's why he's seeking immortality only to serve his collective, and that's for his collective he's seen as a hero, and from the opposite collective he's seen as a heartless villain, for the same exact reason, that his actions are inhumane, that's why in order to humanize heroic character, you need to give them individualistic motive, even if they have also a collective goal, which is why in movies the villains take someone that the hero really care about or love, and use such individualistic goal to humanize them for people who aren't part of the collective.

I'm 1 hour 6 minutes in the movie now, and the monsters looks much better in the dark environment, and would look even more better with a little adjustment of the light..

Did I just say the monsters look good under ground? Well, I take it back LOL, because they look awful once again around 1 hour 8 minutes.

The main villain died in explosion, really, that's it? Like, the whole movie didn't have a challenging villain, till now with the main villain and Xiao Cang, and now the main villain died that easy even before Xiao Cang!!

Xiao Cang last confrontation just happen moments afterwards in 1 hour 17 minutes..

The movie was awesome, I really miss these fun movies, and Japanese villains are the best when it comes to Chinese movies, I wish if the confrontation was longer, it kind of feels they wrapped things up quickly, while they could have had a longer fight, even if the main villain died in explosion, at least I was expecting to get a good fight afterwards, and maybe a long challenging fight between the heroine and the villainess and at least the villainess get an upper hand at some point in the fight..

Anyway, Jingwen Xu was great playing the villainess in this movie, with her firm merciless and sometimes soulless reactions, she's a really good actress, I hope to see more movies of her..

I couldn't keep watching the movie on Youtube, once they censored the sound of the shooting and explosions, I stopped watching, so, If you don't mind that, you can watch it on Youtube, if you found it annoying and ruin the movie for you like I did, you should watch it full on IQIYI here.

Movie Name : Detention

Actress Name : Kata Dobó

Character Name : Gloria Waylon

Year : 2003

In 2003 movie Detention. Actress Kata Dobó plays as villainess Gloria Waylon. Gloria is one the greatest female villains of all time, rewatching this movie absolutely worth it..

I miss Dolph Lundgren movies, he used to make great action movies, especially in the 90s and 80s, one of his movies I remember was really fun to watch was Sweepers, with the gorgeous Claire Stansfield, his movies were unique, fun to watch with great action scenes..

Wait, Dolph Lundgren is playing a teacher in this moive, that's interesting, it's basically like I'm watching the movie for the first time, I can hardly remember anything about it..

We see the stunning Gloria Waylon around 8 minutes mark, as she's filming the place with her camera.

So it's basically Sam Decker's last day at school before resignation, and he was assigned to supervise the detention class before he leaves the school once and for all..

We see our villainess again around 15 minutes..

Around 18 minutes, Gloria take out a poor security guard with her silencer..

Around 23 minutes, Gloria and her gang shot someone who happened to be in the wrong time and place..

36 minutes in and I'm not bored, the movie passed the test that seems impossible to pass in modern movies..

Alex Karzis is doing a great job playing Chester Lamb..

Smart phones would've ruined the whole plot of this movie, another reason that movies should pretend the technology never exist, same with AI, can you imagine making a movie like The Da Vinci Code and instead of searching and going after clues, you just ask AI and tell you everything, the whole movie would be unwatchable, that's why sometimes it's better to pretend they don't exist, to achieve immersion in the movie, not just AI, tools like google earth and maps, if the story is around some place that humans don't know about, movies shouldn't acknowledge the existence of such tools, and leave a room for exploration and imagination, for example discovering a huge ancient construction, if you acknowledged their existence, then you will have to restrict imagination and to make such breathtaking monument buried which would make it less breathtaky..

Oh god, one of the villains named Viktor made me laugh, I went to check the actor Joseph Scoren IMDB page and found out he left our world just two years after this movie was released, RIP, Joseph Scoren, we are grateful for you, thank you for the good time you gave to us even when you are no longer with us 💔💔💔.

So, around 1 hour 4 minutes, they say that Sam Decker is ex-military who fought in Bosnia, and Viktor yelled out of nowhere "Fuck Bosnia! Give it to me, baby!" LOL..

Gloria's final confrontation starts around 1 hour 18 minutes..

That was fun..

Movie Name : Crackerjack 2

Actress Name : Katerina Brozová

Character Name : Jasmine

Year : 1997

In 1997 movie Crackerjack 2, actress Katerina Brozová plays as villainess Jasmine.

The movie starts with a rocket launchers battle, god, I miss the 90s. Not a single CGI noise in sight, just pure old movie fireworks..

Jack, the hero, have some beef with the main villain, Hans Becker basically living rent-free inside the hero's head..

The stunning Jasmine was introduced around 13 minutes mark..

Around 27 minutes, one of the villains riddled some poor guy with bullets, I think scenes like these have to be done right from one take, like can you imagine the reaction isn't right and they keep getting the actor new shirts, even a short scene that only lasts few seconds requites a very talented people to be done right.

We also get a great stunt work of the hero around 29 minutes when he was trying to land on the train from the helicopter..

Did the villains just say "Yalla", when they were asking the passengers to leave the train? It's unexpected, because non of the villains have Arab names, maybe only Jasmine, but even that isn't how the original Arabic name is pronounced!!

This is so weird, like the villains at the start of the movie filmed themselves taking some poor guy out, when we see it, it's a man doing it, then when we see the filmed footage in the movie it shows that Jasmine was the one doing it, it feels like the movie went under so many changes, I wish if there was an original version of the movie as it was intended to be..

Hans Becker is a really good villain too, I miss villains like that, I really miss 90s movies, the action movies back then were top notch..

We see Jasmine around 38 minutes, and it kind of make so much sense that she was supposed to be the one originally finishing the bald, as she was standing right behind the heroine, Dana Townsend who was played by Carol Alt, as she was tied to a chair, so having Jasmine standing just behind shows the grave danger the heroine was in, as her scene with the bold guy make you automatically anticipating Jasmine stepping in anytime the heroine give the wrong answer and finish her too..

And if it was done like that, it would be actually a really smart decision by the movie, playing on the anticipation and help the immersion in the story.

Around 46 minutes, Jasmine is practicing her favorite hobby, torturing hostages..

One of the best scenes in the movie, I love Jasmine, one of the greatest villains of all time, BTW, you will never get a villainess like her in movies anymore especially in the west due to the sever artistic censorship, you will never get a gorgeous villainess like her enjoying and having fun torturing the hostages, you just won't, that's why you should be grateful that such awesome movies exist and be grateful to the creative freedom the world used to have in the 90s.

Around 48 minutes Brandyce once and for all after the villains got what they wanted from him

So, the villains were generous enough to let the hostages alone unattended, and what they do! Did they show appreciation? Did they say "Thank you, mr kidnapper"? The use the villains' good deeds against them and conspire to ruin their business, these people don't have an empathy and don't appreciate when someone do something nice to them!

Jokes aside, Watching this movie making me want to rewatch La casa de papel, this show is basically about, what if villains were unrestricted to be the story, like you have characters like Berlin who seem like 90s villain, same with Tokio who seem like Jewels from Bounty Tracker, it's like not only you get a movie, but experience entire show centered around villains, yet even if La casa de papel was remade or rebooted again, I probably won't watch it, knowing how severe censorship is today, and how awful Netflix is, I doubt that I will get anything as good as the original show, so I would stay away just to avoid the risk..

LOL, I forgot there's a hero in this movie, his first confrontation around 56 minutes, like, no need to hurry, dude, the movie is about to end, get yourself something to drink..

Ok, this movie wasn't supposed to be like that, I refuse to believe it, like the hero was using Morse code to send a message to the forces outside, and out of nowhere some kid showed up to tell them it's Morse code not random noises, and the top officer was like "Get that kid outta here!" LOL!!

The kid translated the code, but the head officer ignored him, which caused the death of multiple soldiers who went into the trap..

Michael Sarrazin did a great job playing Smith in the movie, sadly the actor left our world, RIP, Michael Sarrazin, and thank you for the good times we had watching your movies 💔💔💔.

This movie has one of the greatest female villains of all time, yet, the actual hero of this movie is the main villain Smith, he basically killed most of the villains on behalf of the hero, it's just dumb, yet the only merit of the movie is Jasmine, like it's so fun to watch, and I just love this character..

You can watch the edit of Jasmine's scenes in the movie here.

Movie Name : Wings of Dread

Actress Name : Hong Shuang

Character Name : Yu Qi

Year : 2026

In 2026 movie Wings of Dread. Actress Hong Shuang plays as villainess Yu Qi.

I'm excited to watch this movie..

We get a fight just at the start of the movie, one of the villains was holding a plastic bottle, which shows that the director is paying attention to details, as for what the plastic bottle means, if you know you know, if you don't, god bless you LOL..

We see Yu Qi for the first time around 9 minutes, I think Yu Qi is the third villainous character played by the gorgeous Hong Shuang..

Watching Iko Uwais playing such different character than what I used to see him in is awesome..

Paquet is a really good character, we don't see that anymore, like charismatic character, he kind of reminds me of Clyde Shelton from Law Abiding Citizen..

Ok, this is really good, basically Paquet gave Gu, the hero, a clue, in his tattoo, I love this.. I can't believe this, like he looked back at him, the look itself isn't just aesthetic look but it also work on another metaphorical level, like a teacher looking at his student to see if he will notice the clue or not, these small details are just awesome..

Now we are talking, the real action starts around 40 minutes, especially when it comes to Paquet..

Somehow Yu Qi freed herself, don't know when or how..

One of the heroes hit a poor passenger by mistake LOL.

Hollyshit, Iko Uwais is awesome, he really deserves more recognition as an actor, I don't even remember when an actor played a villain in action movie this good, like both the charisma and the fight scenes..

Somehow the movie manged to make fighting in close-spaces work, which is kind of surprising in a good way, such scenes is way more restrictive than having a fight in a room for example..

From 40 minutes on, the movie changes radically, from some situation that seems inconvenient and being taking care off, to something entirely different.

WTF, the movie went from 1 to dial things up to 11 by 1 hour mark, like everything is chaotic and out of control.

I think The final fight starts around 1 hour 3 minutes..

The fight scenes in this movie are brutal..

The movie also did a good job with the hero.

Watching 2026 movie that not only as good as expected but exceeding my expectations is extremely rare, great job.

The movie also isn't bloated, and I hate how many movies got bloated recently, the movie needed hour and a half and it got hour and a half, the thing about bloated movies that it sometimes bore me that I stop watching them till the end, if the movie need 2 hours make 2 hours if it needs hour and a half don't bloat it to be 2 hours..

You can watch the whole movie on here, and there is a compilation of Yu Qi's scenes in the movie here..
