Henchwomen Fight

In web series The Sandra West Diaries season 1 episode titled Silencers and Mini Skirts aired 2016. Actresses Rachel Farrow, Maria Leicy, Heather Renee Wake and Vanessa Suarez play as villains Vivian Ventura, Bromide, The Hyena and Honey Walker.

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.. 

Let's start watching the second episode of Sandra West's adventure by the amazing Olivia Dunkley, and play episode 2 Bullets Don't Argue..

This is so hilarious, the episode starts with a gigantic ape..

 Sandra West went to Mexico and it's not yellow, when this episode was they never did that in movies or TV shows..

This episode reveals that Sandra West used to work for a villainess called Sue Muru and the league of assassins.. And it seems there's a flash back from Super Seven series..

I think we see the villainess of the episode Honey Walker played by Vanessa Suarez..

That was a good episode, and Honey Walker was absolutely stunning..

You can watch the whole episode here. 

Now with episode 3 Pity About the Dress..

After watching Agent Joe Walker, this series actually became more interesting, because I now know the theme behind it..

Sandra West is so cool..

I think the villainess of this episode is Sandra Lustenberg played by Nisa Wong..

There isn't much action till episode 6 Tools of the Trade.. 

The villainess of this episode is Agent Bromide played by Maria Leicy.. God, she's so beautiful. Agent Bromide appears around 3 minutes mark. I wish if she had more screen time or played other episode, she's insanely beautiful, we never see someone as beautiful in movies nowadays, which sucks..

You can watch the whole episode here.

Let's watch episode 8, episode 7 is black and white, and I'm not in the mood for watching black and white now, maybe I would some day..

The way Sandra West starts every episode with reading from her diaries reminds me of The Vampire Diaries, I really miss this show, even tho I haven't and won't finish it due how boring it ended to be, but the first four seasons at least were absolutely awesome..

Wait a minute, around 3 minutes 30 seconds, these footage from Agent Joe Walker: Operation Far East. Around 4 minutes 12 seconds, the actress playing Angela Rome can't stop herself from laughing 🤣🤣🤣.

The whole episode basically babysitting LOL..

In episode 11 now, Olivia Dunkley is playing two characters in this episode.. The villainess of this episode is Melody Chance portrayed by Tania L. Pearson, she basically go after Sandra West's mother in order to get Sandra West, but what our gorgeous villainess didn't expect was to be outsmarted by Sandra's mom. I love that the villainess of this episode got a decent screen time, and she was absolutely stunning, you can watch the whole episode here..

I miss The Sandra West Diaries, let's episode 12 is basically comedy, with absurd situations..

What I love about this show that it feels like a family acting together it's worm, and kind of cool TBH..

Episode 13 is basically the episode about belly dancers, and the history of the origin of the dance outfit is very interesting, which featured a character with eastern belly-dancer suit, which is absolutely amazing, the origin of the bellydancer suit, is a Hollywood cinematic interpretation of Salome, basically an eastern concept of an eastern character like Salome, later known as being a western concept, and became in the east as a western concept, till belly-dancers claimed it, to end up once again as an eastern concept, both the arguments that the suit from eastern or western origin can be double absolutely truths..

We get a short cat fight around 3 minutes, this series actually have some very decent action scenes..

In episode 17 we are being introduce to villainess The Hyena played by actress Heather Renee Wake, nice intro..

It's fun to watch actress Olivia Dunkley talking to herself playing two roles..

Our gorgeous villainess gets her final confrontation in episode 18.. 

In 2016 movie Time Raiders. Actresses Mallika Sherawat and Peng Lin play as villains Snake Empress, Pingtan Musician. My expectations for this movie is it will be a modern Hollywood movie, which means if it's half decent, that would exceed my expectations..

First we start with a villain similar to Bulletproof Monk's male villain..

I really hope the movie isn't as bad as I think it is..

The fighting is good at least.

Wu Xie is telling us about his childhood, there's nothing that justify him doing that, it's not like he faced something that triggered a memory, we just have to know about his childhood for some reason, it would make more sense if the movie started with that taking us through different stages of his life, instead of taking us to the present and then give us unjustified flashbacks!!

Ok, the iron mask looks cool..

Around 28 minutes we basically get the original story of Anck Su Namun from The Mummy!!

 This movie is actually getting better than I expected it to be..

I don't know how to feel towards the way they speak English, like there's a different between speaking English and acting English, acting speaking English is hard even for native speakers, so you can see that the actors speaking English, a very good and clear English, but the acting part feels lacking, on the other hand, if it was dubbed, well, good job because I didn't notice it..

I forgot, Ning and her men ambushed the heroes around 47 minutes and started a shootout..

At first when I started checking the movie, especially the scenes of Snake Empress, I thought it would be one of these movies that blind me with CGI, and I really don't like these movies, but after I started watching the movie, the CGI is used moderately, which is kind of cool..

 Here's something I find little weird with Zhang Qiling character, when you have characters like Rick O'Connell in The Mummy, or Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, and they act indifferent towards the artifacts in the country they are in, they are often foreign explorers, they share no connection at all with the place they are disrespecting, this is different from Zhang Qiling, Zhang was introduced as a native and protector of the place, the heritage that foreigners want to take by force, yet, he acted indifferent when the good team used explosives to enter the place, he acted indifferent when his team started shooting, his team is the one that used guns in the place not "the villains", he didn't even scream "Don't!!", as if the place is sacred for him, not only that, he even took part in destroying the place to get "the villains", this is so different from The Sanctuary for example where the heroes really wanted to retrieve priceless national treasure, in the movie Zhang is really trying to be an American explorer that he kind of forgot that this place belong to him and his people, and seeing how the movie showed us how reached a high level of enlightenment to be such excellent fighter, it just make zero sense, he kind of acting absent to everything happening to the historical site!!

I swear Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling feel like a couple!!

I think the scene around 58 minutes was also in The Mummy, the scene when someone put his arm and lost it, but I think it was acid in the original..

Ok, the scene with the dolls was cool, and kind of original, it add a horror movie elements, it would be better if they didn't light the place first tho, and that's probably another problem with the movie is really trying to make something similar to The Mummy and the mirrors scene..

Come on, dude, ruining the immersion of the scene by using CGI lion!!

The whole scene since the dolls appeared till now around 1 hour 9 minutes had too much light..

This movie had the potentials to be a great horror, the zombie insects are really scary.. Which made me think, you know what would be more scary than a zombie apocalypse!! An insects zombie apocalypse, like any insect any mosquito or fly can be deadly, at least with the human zombie apocalypse you can see and avoid them, with insects, you can't even sleep in peace! Even being safe means living in psychological horror!

I misjudged the movie, the movie is really its own thing, even if it's inspired from Hollywood movies..

I can see that the creator of the movie is also a fan of Stargate, which is kind of cool.. Chinese love Hollywood movies and TV shows as much as Hollywood hate itself..

Apparently the scenes with blinding CGIs starts around 1 hour 35 minutes.. 

The gorgeous Snake Empress appears around 1 hour 37 minutes..

Snake Empress goes like "Humans are a lowly life form", yeah, compared to you, it's so unfair to humans, humanity can never pass the test when it's compared to such breathtaking beauty.. It's insane that anyone can be this beautiful, it's unfair to women because it's impossible to meet the beauty of The Snake Empress, and also unfair to men because it's impossible to find anyone as beautiful as The Snake Empress, a true goddess and any mortal who fall in love with a goddess is doomed..

The final fight starts from there, and it's long, it basically from there till the end of the movie..

Villainesses are absolutely the greatest concept in movies, nothing can ever come any close to them, and I've watched tons of movies, no character can even come close to how incredible and amazing female villains are..

Like read this poem by Nizar Qabbani one of the greatest poets in the 20s and 21s century addressing his lover, and tell me that there's any character can even come close on how he's describing his feeling of love in the poem and which character can translate such feelings in a movie better than a villainess: 

"Increase my love, increase it

O sweetest of my fits of madness

O dagger in my tissues

O piercing knife

Increase my death, for if death kills me, it will revive me

I am the oldest capital of love

And my wound is a Pharaonic inscription

My pain is a caravan sent from Damascus to China

And lost in the mouth of a dragon

O taste of snow and taste of fire

And flavor of my doubt and certainty"

Nothing can translate the contradiction of passion as powerful as villains can do, villains are all about contradiction, and that what make them one of the greatest fictional artistic concepts of all time, at least for me..

I was expecting the movie to be like modern Hollywood movies, and it indeed have elements of that, for example, from what I have noticed from how movies especially in the west are made today is this, they collect data from social media, they know what people talking about, what interest them, what they like and what they don't like, and go make the movie like "It has to contain this and that" "It has to look this and that", and the movie partially did that, for example, the movie knew that people liked elements from The Mummy, so it took elements people liked from the movie, other elements from Bulletproof Monk, others from From Dusk Till Dawn, I would say The Snake Empress intro is very similar to Salma Hayek scene in the movie, yet Time Raiders actually did it better, starting from the doll scene it started to form its own character, with modern Hollywood movies they don't do that, the way they think, if people want this and this and that, let's mix them all together in a movie and focus on the marketing and people will just go watch, but that's not how movies work, if you forced a narrative on a movie based on data you destroy immersion, if you destroyed immersion, you kind of destroyed the whole movie, movies are like characters, they are works of art, like a painting, you can't cut parts from different paintings with different styles from the greatest paintings in history of humanity and call it the greatest painting in the history of humanity, and that's what AI and modern entertainment do, which is why, I wouldn't say they make bad movies, it's somehow worse, they make movies that are hard to watch, it's like they don't think that immersion is an important element in the movie, as escapism isn't something that they care about, they collect the data, make movie based on the collected data and that's it, you basically end up seeing your social media feed in a visual form, that's why a B-movie from the 90s is often more fun to watch than a big budget movie from 2026!!     

Anyway, you can watch the full movie here..

This movie is a recommendation from Phil Rusty, I hope it's good, I haven't watched any western movie for months now, I think it's wrong to call them movies anyway, they are more like church service, and I think church service can have better stories to keep you interested, it's more like a church service only stories with every negative character being censored and every intersting story like Lazarus of Bethany erased for being too intersting, so watching a Chinese movie even it's old is a breath of fresh air.

Ok, the movie start with a zombie scene, something morality police would never make today.

The characters speak English, I once said I prefer watching actors in Chinese movies speaking their native tongue, because it really help giving a better performance and help the actors get better and better over time in movies, watching this movie now make me hate listening to actors speaking English, although I was raised watching and admiring Hollywood movies which got me better and better learning English, it's also Hollywood movie that make me now hate the language and prefer hearing actors speaking any other language in movies, funny, isn't it?

  Ok, we somehow aren't introduced to the names of the characters, I guess the first character is the heroine, then we go to another scene with another character stabbing a man in the neck during sex, I guess she's the villainess.

Ok, she's not a villainess, and they apparently write the names of the characters on screen, and it seems like the heroine assembling her team in order to do some dangerous mission, so it make sense that some of the team aren't exactly good and done bad stuff, but here's the crazy thing, when a western movie do that, they make villains good, imagine Hollywood making a movie about "a group of villains in a dangerous deadly mission", You watch the movie and non of them do bad stuff before joining the mission, which kind of meaningless, having villains fighting for justice or whatever BS is in itself bad, but not only that, if you think about it, non of them are actually villains who do bad stuff in the movie, like what the hell!!

So, then the team went to a cage fight to have another one to join their team and she was fighting a really fit dude, and she cheated and defeated him in the end of the fight.

Around 8 minute mark, one of the heroines is reading the bible as if it's a magazine, it's intersting that the choose the bible among all other books.

One of the things in the movie that everyone in the movie are women, yet every single one of them have their own character, like one who really care about how she looks, which fit her character as she uses her beauty to seduce people and kill them for money, and you also have the nerd that only care about nerdy stuff, you can now randomly watch any western show in the last few years, and every character especially female ones, look the same, act the same, think the same, walk the same, god, they are so soulless and inhumane.

The heroine reading the bible is actually devoted christian, she pray and do the cross thingy, I didn't expect that TBH.

    The heroes went killing a group of evil male guards, and what I think is, why it looked so fun to watch, why them eliminating the guards seems believable, while in western movies things seem very patronizing and so unbelievable, and there's a different between believable and realistic, for example, it's unrealistic for a man to stop a train with his hand to save people, it's unrealistic, and even if he could the train would probably split into, but within a movie, giving the character superpower, and then it became believable to do while still being unrealistic.

Around 25 minute we have armed drone, this is so cool since it's in 2016, I like the idea on who the drone make peeps and the hero have to run away in few seconds, it can be really utilized in movies and fight scenes.       

 It's only 1 hour movie, yet, I finished half of it and wasn't bored, lectured, or the actors told the audience that they hate them, can you imagine that? LOL!

We have a villainess, we only hear her voice, still we don't know who she is or if she's a part of the team.

Our gorgeous villainess Juki appears around 30 minute mark, she's so gorgeous I love her so much, and great to play a villainess, she fight the heroine, and she was defeated, I hope she had a second fight, she was my favorite character in the movie, I wish I saw her more 💔💔💔.

 Just after we lost our beloved villainess, we have another fight between the droned cars heroine and our villainess, Huya. Huya fight smart, which make sense since she also fight a heroine who is kind of engineer, so she set a wire trap for her, the heroine of course noticed and avoided it. The heroine name translated Rhino Horn, this is absolutely mistranslated, as you don't even her them say "Rhino Horn" so probably translated literally from a Chinese name.

I almost forgot about the zombie villainess, she appears around 40 minute mark, and we know that her name is Yinfeng.

 We have only one main male character in the movie, and he's evil, most men in the movie get so little screen time before being killed LOL.

Damn, he killed the heroine, that's really good, I thought all the heroine wouldn't lose a fight, It was nice that one of them did when unexpected, especially that she won the last fight.

   We have another villainess who betrayed the heroes called Skynet, that's probably not her original name in Chinese, but that's how it's translated, Skynet shot another heroine in the head, this movie is so fun to watch.

It turns out the male villains failed to kill the heroine and she actually took over the Tank he was driving and used it to save the day and defeated entire army of male villains.

This is amazing, the actors actually were fighting themselves, not stunt performers, which is so cool, maybe that's why I find their fight scenes makes sense, the movie is great if you are looking for a good action movie, I wish it was longer, but it was really fun to watch, that's a movie I will remember, but if I have to choose between watching this movie and 99% of Hollywood morality police lectures, I would absolutely watch this one, I had a really good time watching it, thank you, Phil Rusty 🌹🌹🌹.  

I couldn't find the names of the actors, I didn't even find the English name of the movie, if you have any idea please tell me so I can update the post and link their page if possible.
