In 2025 movie La Pantera 3. Actress Mich Torres Sagaz plays as villainess Margaret.
The movie doesn't waste time, it starts with the protagonist shooting with her machine gun, it's like, if this what people want, it's what people will get LOL.. Even the guns bleeds when being shot, you don't have such technology in other movies..
I'm laughing, like the cop caught the bad guy, and accusing him with like 10 random crimes, and the other guy was like "You are not going to read the whole bible to him", like exactly!!
Ok, Is the female protagonist the girlfriend of the male protagonist? Do I have to watch the other to movies to understand this one?
Another gun fight in a less than 10 minutes, god, this is great LOL..
I never laughed in my life on gunfights like I did with this movie, this is gold.
I think the villainess appear in the second gun fight around 8 minutes mark, not sure tho.
After our villainess Margaret AKA Cat manged to escape custody, now she goes after the one who put her in prison in the first place, The Panther, the vigilante hero who goes after bad guys, and went after Margaret and her father.
Ok, the male and female protagonist are married in the movie, like, I would believe they are actually married in real life, these movies feel so personal, like family and friends having fun and making a movie, which is kind of awesome TBH..
In the movie there are christian iconography everywhere, which gives like a personified character to the household itself, it's different from any western shows where everything is restricted, houses are very minimized, free of any characteristic, I don't even they put paints or things that can hint on artistic taste of the house, which make these sets feel bland and soulless..
For example, if the residents of the house are like teens, you expect to see characteristics that go with that, which would be different from a family which have a different characteristics, like let's say we have a character of a Chinese police officer, of course you can make the home like any other home, but what if you want to show their job is connected to their character, what if want to show that they see themselves servant of the people not just a job, but identity and loyalty to certain ideals? In this case you can have like small details, like a portray of Mao or something, certain books that shape the way they see life and so on, the same thing with a cop in a western country, they can have books like The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and so on..
Our gorgeous villainess didn't waste time, and went after the cop who put her behind bar, as he went home, a surprise was waiting him, his wife wasn't home, he called her phone and it wasn't his wife on the other line, but our stunning villainess answered him instead, telling him, it's not your wife, it's me Cat. The cop couldn't believe it, as she's supposed to be behind bars, but Cat told him, that her father rescued her, and now she's thirsty for revenge.
Margaret told the cop, there's a way to save your wife, give us the panther, and you get back your wife in return.
I swear, the cop's name is lost in translation, I don't know what his name is..
So, the cop met with The Panther couple, and he told them that his wife was kidnapped.
We see our villainess again around 36 minutes, waiting for the heroes to show up, meanwhile, La Pantera and his wife Fernanda walked into our villainess trap.
The gun fights in this movie are awesome, it's so absurd and I love it, that's a comedy. One of the goons of Margaret is also a villainess, she's not named, she only appeared for like half minute.
I mean, Margaret really need to work on her traps tactics, like she made a trap for the heroes and it ended up with most of her men dead, it's like if the heroes made a trap for her men LOL..
I swear, the fight scenes in this movie, beside like the gun fight is actually better than most fight scenes in modern western movies, like, you can see they are trying, which I appreciate..
After the trap failed, Margaret got angry at the cop, he didn't deliver what he promised, so the cop provided Margaret with more information to help her get La Pantera family, he told Margaret that they have a daughter, and they can use that as advantage.
La Pantera family knew about Margaret plan, so they decided to act first, attacking Margaret guys, taking one of them as a hostage, and setting a trap for her men, eventually around 1 hour and 7 minutes, they manged to free Emilio's wife, and our stunning villainess manged to escape the raid with a zipline that took her directly into the escape car.
Around 1 hour and 18 minutes, we have another gun fight between our gorgeous villainess and her men and the good guys, again our villainess and her men were defeated fled with her right hand man Yair, like the poor babe never win, even when she's the one making the trap for the good guys, even her dad died in the last trap she made, poor thing LOL.
Now our villainess preparing for the final confrontation, calling for reinforcement to get rid of La Pantera family once and for all and build her criminal empire.
The final fight starts around 1 hour and 30 minutes..
God damn, this movie made me laugh a lot, like I really recommend watching it with friends..
You can clearly see that they put a lot of efforts making the movie with so little they have, but it's really fun, it's different from anything from the west, it's not fake like western movies, and I don't mean it's like The Godfather level of acting or anything, the actors themselves aren't fake, they are just people like us having fun, making an action movie, and you can feel that, and if you see it that way, you will have so much fun watching it, and of course our villainess Cat is extremely stunning.. I really loved this movie and had so much fun watching it 🔥🔥🔥.

In 2025 movie Battle of the Wolf. Actresses Luan Mingyuan and Chen Fei play as female villains Scarlet Yunying and Kala.
A Chinese action movie, and it's 1 hour 30 minutes, so hope it's not unnecessarily bloated and fun to watch, the movie premise is probably similar to High Forces.
The movie break the pacing and take us into a flashback of former fight of the protagonist, which I really don't like, the pacing actually matters, and the idea they keep forcing other stories in these movie, I really don't like that, like instead of focusing on the situation and the plane and keep us exploring the villains according to what they say and reveal over time in the movie, and introduce the target they are after, the movie take us into irrelevant theme, with flashback confrontation and connect both themes, and also doing it break the pacing, like you have a quite pacing with the passengers being onboard of the plane, then take us back into a fight scene, which kills the pacing of the movie, I guess it has something to do with how Chinese audiences may tune out of the movie if it's not introduced with a fight scene, as such scene confirm it's an action movie to them and keep them interested, but in this case, it break the pacing of the movie.
Ok, the movie apparently explaining to us why the protagonist was in handcuffs, it still kill the pacing of the movie, such backstory can be introduced way better, like imagine this scenario, the protagonist with a female protagonist are together hiding from the villains, she's nervous and in fear that the villains would find them, but at the same time curious about how the protagonist ended up in cuffs, so she hesitantly ask him "How did you end up.. You know..", he replies "You mean, in cuffs?", then give her the backstories, that way it would serve the drama better.. Also by giving us the backstory this early, it destroyed any mystery about the character, which isn't a good thing, now till the end of the movie, the protagonist being in cuffs doesn't keep me interested or curious.
Anyway we first see our gorgeous villainess around 6 minute time mark breaking into the airport with other villains who call themselves The Wild Wolf.
Ok, the movie is introducing us to the villains so we don't get confused, and I kind of like it, because in many movies some characters are either rarely called by the name, or even their name is being lost in translation.
And the movie introduce us to our first villainess, Purple wolf aka Purple Kala, a member of the evil organization of The Wild Wolf.
We have a flashback, and I laughed a lot than I should, like the movie go back to something happened 6 years ago and the villains shot some guy and I don't care, it looked funny.
We have David Torok playing Black Wolf AKA Wizard, I really hope he's fun in the movie..
We see our villainess again around 15 minutes, celebrating taking over the plane with a drink.
Ok, some passenger lost conscious and the villains found a doctor for him afterwards, like, in the start of the movie one of the villains shot flight attendant to show how merciless they are, which was too early in my opinion, if it was me, I wouldn't make them shoot anyone this early, think about it, they are villains not idiots, doing it at the start would make people to panic, but once they take over, it would serve a dramatic purpose, it would be shocking, and it would show how heartless they are, again it's the pacing.
Around 20 minutes mark, Kala started to set explosive on the plane, and preparing parachutes, so probably planning to destroy the plane and jump, after kidnapping their target Chen Guoxian..
The movie show us the true target of The Wild Wolf organization, their plane after all was to kidnap Chen Guoxian, a brilliant scientist working on the quantum communication system, and after they get him, they can jump from the plane, take the scientific research with them, and make it look as the plane had an accident, with the research in their hands, they can earn tons of money from it.
The villains took a passenger who they mistakenly thought him to be Chen Guoxian, yet after investigation, he turned out to be someone else.
Around 39 minutes Kala join Green wolf to go after the hero who have been causing so much trouble and ruining their evil plans.
We see the final fight of Purple wolf around 42 minute mark..
Now, let's keep watching..
Black Wolf have a good fight around 45 minutes, ended stupidly LOL..
Basically the hero manged to capture the two villains who survived, yet, the evil organization had a secret weapon, what the hero didn't know, there's another villainess, Scarlet Yunying AKA Red Wolf who kept herself under rader in case their plans went south, and freed the other two main villain.
Red Wolf isn't like any other villain, she's the wolf team strategist, she kept monitoring everything happening till now, and gave no reason for the hero to suspect her, studying the hero, knowing his weaknesses, and when the time was right, she used all the info she collected in her favor, proving to be one of the most effect villain among them all.
In secret she have been sending singles to the team on which target they go after and which passenger represent the highest risk for their plans..
Ok, now the movie problems..
1- The pacing in the movie is off, it's unorganized and messy.
2- The movie keep jumping from a story line to another, it's like the movie trying to make the villains are being the villains of multiple movies in the same movies, it's like the movie can't contain itself in a single story, so it goes back and forth with flashbacks, as if it's a checklist of not just having them the bad guys of the story, but every other possible story, which feels forced, like, why not just make them the villains in a plane movie, why enforcing many irrelevant plots and over complicate things.
3- Realism, the fight scenes in the movie feel so limited because the movie is trying to stick to realism, the movie thinking "Well, they are in a plane, so the fights in tight places.", and TBH, the fight scenes don't look great and repetitive, like why we don't have a fight in a room, with not so tight place if needed?! No one is forcing the movie to be restricted with the tight places of the plane, and it can ignore and unrestrict itself from it if needed, if a fight scene needed a space, even if it doesn't make sense, give a space for the fight scene and threw realism in the trash, as realism only matters when it serve the movie not when it weight it down.
4- There's not enough stakes, the movie keep trying to give a motive and unable to give a motive within the same story, so, it always try to enforce multiple stories to make up for that, while it could've been avoided, like I said, before, like how the hero being stuck with the heroine, while the villains looking for them, the movie could've made the scientist the villains are looking for a female scientist, played by Zina Blahusova or make her like ambassador or some big foreign official, and make the contrast, a big foreign official hiding from the bad guys, and stuck with some protagonist with a criminal record, and she's nervous while hiding, and also can't trust the only guy who is protecting her, and over time they build their trust, that's a stake, that's a goal, and the viewer would understand what the stakes are, instead of making the stakes in the movie around other stories from the past, making the movie unfocused.
I'm not saying the movie is bad in anyway, I really enjoyed it, it just could've been way much better, especially with the fight scenes, like many of the actors who played the villains in the movie are actually champions in real life, and you can see how the characters they played were so underused because the movie restrict itself with narrow spaces to achieve realism..

In 2025 movie Cop And Half. Actresses Nadine Theron, Noxolo Dlamini and Nthati Moshesh play as female villains Lady T, Busi and Dimamzo.
From my experience, movies from South Africa are often better than Hollywood movies, movies/shows made in South Africa seems to put entertainment first, even with drama, they seem to put drama first, so I'm hoping to like this movie.
The movie opens with some guy and his face surrounded by turds, well, that's me watching western movies.
The movie basically starts with a raid going south, it all happened too fast, all we have to know that the hero screw things up, and being scolded by his boss.
Ok, a comedy movie that made me laugh, you can't find that in western comedy movie, the scene around 20 minutes is so funny and bloody at the same time, which is interesting.
Damn, what an intro!! Our villainess appeared around 24 minute, and just shot a poor woman in the bar while they were sniffing around trying to collect information on the criminal organization, and went after the heroes, and both the heroes and the members of the organization had a shootout.
Our stunning villainess then fought Jon over the case, which, I'm so in love with her, I want to worship her 😍😍😍😍.
Ok, Busi's goons are fun to watch, this is a comedy, not all jokes have to land, but you know the movie is actually trying to make you laugh, and there some edgy jokes in it..
The dynamic between Jon and Trev reminds me of Hanafi el-Ubbahah, yet Trev seems like a waterdowned version of Hanafi el-Ubbahah, and apparently Hanafi el-Ubbahah itself is based on a Hollywood movie called 48 Hrs. which I haven't watched.. The good old days, when Hollywood movies were so good that movies from around the world try to make something similar, unlike today, with Hollywood movies lost all relevance and movies around the world try to avoid being associated with the low quality of Hollywood.
We see our gorgeous villainess again around 33 minute, and her boss called her and scolded her for losing the money.
Around 37 minutes, some guy stole the case from Jon and Trev, and Jon and Trev ended up being captured by Busi's men LOL.
So, basically Jon and Trev were disguised as Lady T's men, and met with Busi and gave her the case, yet, Busi met Lady T telling her that she met her guys, for Lady T to go after them and expose them as undercover cops.
Luckily for Jon and Trev, the cops raided the place which gave them a chance to escape..
Apparently we have a third villainess, like the boss of both Lady T and Busi, and she's keeping an eye on Jon and his family.
Ok, I love Dimamzo character, she's so heartless and cold 💗💗💗💗💗.
Here's why Dimamzo intro is actually amazing, she and her gorgeous villainesses broke into Jon's and she kept you asking, Is she gonna do it? Is she bluffing? And basically you are anticipating what is going to happen till suddenly in a second she gave our gorgeous Lady T the sign and BAM!!
I can't remember when the last time I've seen something like that with anything made in the west both movies and TV shows, like, censorship in the west ruin the tension and the pacing of any movie, like, god, I love this movie, and I love Dimamzo's character so much.
I can't believe we have these three gorgeous villainesses, it's like an overdose of beauty..
So, Dimamzo took Jon's daughter, and told him, made him a deal, his daughter for her money and product, so now Jon have to steal the bags from the evidence room to get his daughter back.. I wish she took me instead 😍😍😍.
So, basically Dimamzo decided to get rid of Jon and Trev, after the deal was done, and we basically get the final confrontation of the movie.
Nadine Theron is one of the most beautiful women in the world, I'm dying to see her again on screen. I don't have one, but three characters I love to see again, I'm so in love with Dimamzo and Lady T..

In tv show Safe Harbor season 1 episode titled Joint Venture aired 2025. Actress Simone Giel plays as villainess Zora. I finished watching the show, and was thinking of making entire review about it, but I'm not sure if people gonna like the show as a whole, doesn't mean it's bad, it just drags, it's very bloated, it stretch the events too long than it should be, best scenes are Zora and Oncko Jaager scenes.. So, I'm just gonna say which characters I enjoyed the most.. First one Oncko Jaager AKA gen z warrior played by Shahine El-Hamus, he's the character I enjoyed watching the most in the show, and I don't know how the show can fill the void he left in it, I liked his character, very charismatic and smart, always make you want to know more about it, sadly, he didn't get the screentime he deserved, instead we got too much screentime with intolerably boring dialogues with characters that barely needed for the show.
The second character is Farrell Walsh played by Jack Gleeson, honestly I didn't recognize the actor till I checked the show IMDB page, which shows how good actor he is, like you wouldn't even imagine that he's the same actor who played Joffrey Baratheon in GOT.
Anyway probably gonna watch the second season when released, and if Zora turned good, I would probably delete the post, overall, the show isn't bad, you may enjoy the drama around Tobias Chapman character, definitely watching Zora and Oncko Jaager worth it, and Jack Gleeson performance is also great, very fresh character, and really great actor.

In 2025 movie Trouble Man. Actress Levy Tran plays as villainess Yuen Song.
Ok, another movie of Michael Jai White, hope it's fun..
The movie starting with a fight between Jaxen and Dr. Myers played by Steven Kekoa Shelby, Steven Kekoa Shelby is a stunt performer, and I really appreciate that the movie is giving him a screen time, stunt performers are awesome.
And the fight was really stupid, so fake, so unconvincing, like whatever.. Again, the movie is comedy, so, we aren't supposed to take the fight scenes seriously.
Finished 20 minutes, this movie is weird in a good way.
We see Orlando Jones playing Branes Holden in the movie, I remember seeing him in Abbott Elementary, he was playing Gregory Eddie's father, and seeing how different he's playing here in contrast with his role in the show, he's a really good actor.
Michael Jai White is actually a good director based on how good the movie look, when it comes to fight scenes tho, I don't know, I don't think fight scene was the focus of this movie.. Like take any screenshot of the actors and it would probably look cool, also the camera changes in a way so boring scenes like conversations and such don't feel as boring by avoiding sticking it on a fixed angle.
We see our gorgeous villainess Yuen Song around 39 minutes..
Movies really overrate how powerful men are, like, a woman extremely gorgeous as Yuen Song look at a man, I don't care how much the man she's looking at is principled or good, they would do whatever she ask them to do, like, she can start a conversation about how she want to end humanity, and the man listening to her would probably go like "You got a point, humanity did really bad things" and start thinking about how can he impress her by finding the best argument against humans LOL.
The first decent fight scene is at 49 minutes. Basically Yuen Song's men attacked Jaxen while he was with Gina, the attack resulted in Gina being injured, then after that, Jaxen went after them looking for the attacker, which led to the fight.
Jaxen then face Branes, and Branes tell him what was going on, basically our gorgeous villainess, generously gave Branes a loan, yet with a high interest rate, then she kidnapped Jahari to use her as a leverage against him, so Branes hired Jaxen to find Jahari.
So, our villainess found out about what Branes was doing behind her back, so she decided to have a little chat, a tough chat, and gave him 48 hours to settle what he owns her.
Fang and Lung, the two henchmen of our villainess fight Jaxen around 1 hour and 7 minutes, at the start of the fight Jaxen was about to use his gun, thankfully he couldn't, and we actually got a decent fight, I would've hate if it just ended with such stupid way. Surprisingly the fight ended with Jaxen losing and Fang shot him in the back with his own weapon, of course he used the fake weapon Jaxen used before without knowing, so not only Jaxen manged to survive, but he also saved Jahari.
Despite Fang and Lung efforts to please their evil queen, Yuen Song wasn't happy, as far as she know, what they did is a PR disaster for her evil organization, now with a private detective being shot to death on her property, and Grammy award winning artist bound and burned in her building, being a leader of an evil organization, Yuen Song can't risk her empire being known for sloppy and lazy work and no one would even think of trusting her evil organization, once they hear about what happened.
And just before she execute them, Fang came with a suggestion to avoid the PR nightmare, and to save the brand of her evil organization.
So Fang then paid a visit to Branes Holden to have a little talk, at the same time, Jaxen found out that Gina left the hospital.
And while our villainess and her two henchmen were having tough chat with Branes Holden, Gina was passing by like a wrapped gift knocking on their door.
Ok, Jaxen hit the building with his car causing the building to shake, like is it built with cardboard? Anyway, if it works for dramatic effects, it served its purpose, to hell with realism..
The final scene have like green screen, and I can notice it, yet I think I prefer it as it is with the details shown, than to darken it to hide the imperfection and as result the details.
The final fight between Jaxen and Fang and Lung is awesome..
Ok, that was a fun movie, no need to say, Fang, Lung and Yuen Song were my favorite characters, they were awesome, and Yuen Song.. god damn, I would die for her 😍😍😍😍.
The movie is fun, isn't bloated, just a fun action movie, it doesn't over complicate things, doesn't burden itself with overweight, so, yeah it's good, and seeing how the villains in this movie play more active role for the story, it actually did a better job than Hostile Takeover and I enjoyed it more.

In tv show Styx season 1 episode titled Hoop aired 2025. Actress Amy Naert plays as villainess Didi.
Ok, basically the premise of the show is about Styx, a cop called Styx who witness a murder and went after the masked killer for him to get shot, Styx basically died, but not exactly, like he turned in some kind of a living dead.
We first see our henchwoman around 27 minute mark, when she faces the friend of Styx, Gino, and punched him in the face.
Styx was basically a corrupt cop, and had a deal with such friend to secure the business of the bad guys, yet, Styx fell short because he went dead without telling his friend first, which put his friend in trouble and the cops raided their operation.
Around 41 minute time mark, Gino goes after Styx and stab him for failing at securing the business, telling him that the bad guys will kill him for that, then stabbed Styx, for his surprise, Styx wasn't effected by the knife, as one of the side effects of being dead is that he can't feel pain.
Around 45 minute mark we see our villainess again, holding Gino while her boss killing him for his failure. Poor Gino was thrown in the trash afterwards, and that's all we see of our villainess in the first episode.
Let's check the second episode, we basically didn't see our gorgeous villainess, the most important event of this episode is that people who turn into zombies lose their senses over time, as if their body eating itself, unless they eat others, and by eating others they turn them into zombies too, so basically Gino probably ended a zombie too.
Now, let's watch the third episode, the show is basically building the rules for the universe, and it's kind of interesting, like, the doctor explain the reason zombies need brains is that the cells start to consume each others as they basically dead, and in order to make their cells regenerate, they have to eat other humans, turning them into zombies too.
We first see our villainess around 14 minute time mark, she was at work and Styx and Joachim left their jobs and went to watch her, I mean, she's gorgeous, still, I'm not sure that leaving their jobs in the middle of the day to watch her from distance is acceptable especially that both of them are public workers.
Just after that, our beloved villainess was attacked in her car by a zombie and was eaten alive, I don't have to wait to know who the zombie was, I bet he was Gino. It's unfortunate that we won't see our gorgeous villainess again, but I will continue watching the show anyway, it would be more fun if she at least stayed till the season finale or was more active or got more screen time, overall the show is good, the main male villain is interesting, I didn't talk about him, as it would be huge spoiler, so the show worth watching, and have fun.
Gonna keep watching the show, I recommend the show, and I find it interesting, and I'm curious if they can keep it together on expansion, or the plot gonna be too complicated to make a coherent story, the visuals of the show is really good and unique, the idea behind the show is also interesting take on the zombie genre, the male villain keeping me curious, which is kind of cool, I hope they don't ruin him.
Amy Naert as evil babe Didi in Styx
In 2025 movie Hostile Takeover. Actress Dawn Olivieri plays as villainess Angel.
Ok, I finished the movie, now I'm gonna talk about it, I was definitely check it out for Dawn Olivieri, the movie also have Sala Baker and he's also one of my favorite male actors who play villains when it comes to Hollywood, the movie is decent, basically Angel and Pequino are the two main villains of the movie, they appear like an hour after the movie started, I wish if they appeared early and played more active roles, especially Angel, and she basically was explaining to the heroine why she's evil, and what she did to the hero's brother, like, at least, we should've seen that, or we get like a second confrontation, but anyway, they got a decent fight towards the end, the hero defeated Pequino then went to help the heroine to defeat Angel, so yeah, the heroes cheated to defeat Angel, as it was the only way to do it.
