Hey SOL..... this could be HUGE. :yes:
Help create a BLACK FEMALE ACTION MOVIE!!!

1. Best Female Actress Combo...
I say... put Halle Berry, Angela Basset, Gabrielle Union, Jada Pinkett & Kerry Washington together as a TEAM...

2. Needs some "Sexy Villians" who could do Martial Arts & Stunts, like...
Noémie Lenoir (Rush Hour 3), Katie Nauta (Transporter 2), Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger)

3. And a 'kick-ass' Action script... :yes:
How about a little Grand Theft Auto... mixed with Elektra... or a Female 'Bourne Identity'?....
(minus the 'amnesia' sub-plot, of course :cool:)

4. Best Black Action Directors...
Let F. Gary Gray, John Singleton, Antoine Fuqua or Spike Lee GO TO WORK!! :yes:

5. So What's MISSING from this movie?????? :confused:
Add your OWN cast members. :cool: And what role would they play?? :confused: or a Movie Title? :cool:
(i.e. Supporting Female Roles, Female Leads, Leading Men, Male or Female Villians, Extras, etc.)

Good call. :cool:
Coffy was the BOMB!!! :yes:

But what if you had these sistas start a NEW TEAM?
So that it wasn't just ONE SINGLE Female Lead? Ya know?

Maybe it could be the start of a 'trilogy' or something. :rolleyes:

Now I would pay GOOD MONEY if they threw in a few 'sexy scenes' with lots of action & special effects...
plus a GOOD STORY LINE. :yes::yes:

Great idea (if you're making a geriatric version). Bassett's only 30 years older than Grier was at the time she made Coffy (and she doesn't play that silly grindhouse shit anyway).

Folks really ought to get some original ideas.

but she looks as good as grier did even being "30 years older"


as far as originality, i do agree with you there. but judging from the lineup of movies coming, not gonna happen.

Maybe Basset could be the 'boss lady'.
While the others would do the stunts. :yes:

Halle Berry isn't that great of an actress, IMO... She hasn't done anything in a long time that has wow'ed me... :smh:

But I think you're idea is great... but Hollywood wouldn't go for it... they don't feel black women are a large enough audience on their own.... :smh::smh:

Sheesh....
Why are people taking this thread so serious? :confused::smh:

OK, so not every Black Actress or Actor can do BELIEVABLE ACTION FLICKS. :smh:
Or some may not be that great... ON THEIR OWN...
Or may not have done something you liked in awhile...

But how many ACTION MOVIES do we ever see starring Black Actresses?
(Usually they are 'supporting' co-stars... if they are in it at all, that is :rolleyes:)

The idea of this thread is to add some more names of Black Actresses, or Actors, Directors or Entertainers to the list who would make a GOOD ACTION MOVIE... (with Black Women as the Lead Characters, or Lead Villians. :rolleyes:)

Wow... some of y'all ain't got NO imagination AT ALL :smh:

You mean to tell me...
Pam Grier... and the other 5 ladies I mentioned... are the ONLY ONES?!?
Or is it that the SOL Ladies can ONLY think of people just fit for Romantic Comedies? Dramas? or Chick Flicks? :confused:

Meanwhile, white folks make movies like Terminator 2, Charlie's Angels, Kill Bill, Tomb Raider, Aeon Flux, Le Femme Nikita, Elektra, Aliens, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, etc... year after year. :yes: :rolleyes: Man, they pull actresses OUT THE WOODWORK for a new Action Flick. :yes:

Sheeeeiiiiiitt.....Women usually have opinions on EVERYTHING. :rolleyes: lol.
So where y'all at? :cool:

Pam Grier's movies (and others from that era) were cheap, grindhouse flicks that were so bad they were good. There are plenty of those still being made and going straight-to-DVD.

Obviously, you seem to be thinking about something of a higher quality and bigger budget. I could list a couple dozen young black actresses who would be fine in an action flick, but you have to be realistic about what could actually get made. Putting a bunch of names together is simple.

That's all this thread is about, really.
Just some names. Some inspiration. :yes:

Think about it....
Black women go to Tyler Perry's movies IN DROVES. :rolleyes:
But would they support an ACTION FLICK? with Black Female Heros? and Villians?
If so... Who would BE GOOD? and BELIEVEABLE? and/or could sell TICKETS. :yes:
(Other than the 6 women already mentioned, that is. :rolleyes:)

You think Elektra was a good script? Aim your ambitions higher girl, lol.

Don't forget Gina Torres :yes: She was in Hercules/Xena and Firefly. She also played Cleopatra on Xena.
