…while watching “Underworld” the other month, I noticed that Kate Beckinsale’s character, a battle-hardened “death dealer,” had a nasty habit of blinking and flinching as she fired her sidearms. Almost like Selene hadn’t had much experience in combat shooting. :rolleyes:
In fact, that’s seems to be a common problem among many “action” stars, and not just the actresses.
But, for this discussion, I’m only interested in actresses…the ones who do the best job playing gunfighters onscreen. Not martial artists or swordfighters, gunslingers.
Linda Hamilton seemed to do a pretty good job in T2. And who could forget Beverly Garland’s lever-action attack on the alien in It Conquered the World?
Way to inject your irrelevant political agenda into a totally inappropriate thread, Bob.
The quintessential female gun slinger, never EVER to be equaled, is Joan Crawford in Johnny Guitar: *“Down there I sell whiskey and cards. All you can buy up these stairs is a bullet in the head. Now which do you want?”*Everyone should watch this movie at least once a week.
