Why aren’t there more female characters in action movies/games?

    If there was a theory, i'd theorize a belief that women getting hurt would be taboo.

    I know I'm a fan of hers, but I love to see Jess Biel buff up again, this time for a halfway decent action flick. ::)

    You and me both. But Jessica said that opportunity has passed by. For now, she doesn't believe she'll even resume the role of Abigail Whistler.

    No, the possibility of a spin-off of Blade died a while back.  I meant a different action heroine role.

    I was really interested in bullet witch, it was actually one of the reasons I bought an xbox, but it got such bad reviews, so I stayed away from it.  Were the reviews just biased?  This week I finally bought perfect dark zero, and the girl at the counter warned me that it was the worst game ever made on the 360 and many people had returned it in disgust.  I took it home, and I've been playing it ever since.  I like it better than any other shooter including gears of war.  But I seriously wonder if some folks can't have fun playing as a female character…

    Bullet Witch is flawed, but it's still fun. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but it's still worth playing, I think.
    Perfect Dark Zero is cool (I happen to own it, too), but to say it's better than Gears of War is going a little too far, methinks. I love Gears of War; it's one of the best games to come out on the 360 in my opinion.
    If you haven't played it, I highly recommend Tomb Raider: Legend. I had an absolute blast with that game; I really recommend it. Oh yeah, and Rumble Roses XX, I suppose; you can actually make a reasonably buff and muscular wrestler in the create-a-wrestler function.

    Meh…GoW is fun…to a point. But the female customization in RRXX and SvR 07 is very good…

    Has anybody seen European action flicks? Hollywood leads in that genre, but I've recently taken notice to French actress, Nadia Feres/Fares. I saw her performance in 'The Crimson Rivers', but she's also played a French SWAT team officer in a film called "The Nest" (Nid de Guepes). She'll also be in the horror/suspense film "Storm Warning", and the upcoming "War" movie of Jet Li vs. Jason Statham.

    I also saw this parody of French spy OSS-117. Near the end two Arabian women fought each other in a nasty, but amusing brawl.

    If there are more European actresses who've done action scenes I'd like to read about them.
