In honor of the release of the latest Avengers film, I present a superhero(ish) adventure featuring a barefoot ninja woman. Spoiler alert: she gets captured for her troubles.
The bad guys tie her up in a storage area, and they even do the usual bragging bit at her before leaving her alone.
But like most superheroes, she's packing an extra knife--well, maybe not all superheroes have knives, but like most of them she's ready for anything. You can view/download the scene right here.
Dread it, run from it...or just enjoy the hell out of it, which is what I did with Avengers: Infinity War. I won't reveal spoilers, but damn, this was a great flick. A magnificent culmination of all the Marvel superhero films released thus far (featuring every superhero we have seen up to now), this movie is very brash and ballsy and wonderful and I need to see it again. Don't miss it.
Happy Alien Day! It's April 26, which is the same numbers as the moon where the alien was discovered in the first two (and best) Alien films: LV426.
To celebrate, I've chosen vidcaps from the movie Prometheus, which might not be the best of the series, but it had some nice barefoot scenes.
The first three are of Charlize Theron. She was originally considered for the lead role of Dr. Shaw.
But that went to Noomi Rapace, who's lying down here.
Noomi is getting some bad medical news from David, the android aboard the ship.
Noomi was the original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Here, she probably wishes all she had to deal with was a dragon tattoo. Happy Alien Day once again!
Jeanne is a regular spy girl, sneaking into dangerous places to find the truth. Only this time she finds ropes! You can see my latest Poser picture right here.
These are screen caps from Black Cobras (Cobras Negras) a Mexican action movie that had a couple of good scenes.
The first few pictures show the lead actress in a flashback as she recounts the time she spent in a mental institution.
The second scene shows two bikini-clad women trussed up and gagged by the pool at night.
They're watching a knock-down, dragged out fight between the hero and the villain in the pool.
The good guy won. Which is good news for these girls.
I covered Mexican film bondage scenes on my old web site, and these were vidcaps that were made for that site, but had never been posted (until now). I don't know if there's a clip of these scenes. If I find it, I'll post it here.
Someone re-created the battle of Geonosis, from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, in Lego form. Not only did they recreate the actual battle, with Droids verses Clone troopers, but they also built a Droid factory inside of a mountain--again, all from Lego sets.
And as if all of this wasn't enough, the conveyor belts in the Droid factory all work (well, except for one that broke down). Some great attention to detail here by some creative minds.
Olivia Thrilby co-stars in this really cool science fiction film about an alien invasion.
What sets this one apart from the other alien invasion flicks is that the aliens don't use space ships of any kind. Instead they are beings of pure energy that kill with a touch.
Another thing that sets The Darkest Hour apart from other alien invasion flicks is the fact that it takes place entirely in Moscow, Russia.
Olivia is one of several Americans who get caught fighting for their lives when the energy aliens attack.
Olivia was caught wearing heels at a nightclub when the attack came, so when they had to go out and scout around the city, she had no choice but to go barefoot.
Listening to the director's commentary, it's revealed that when Olivia tripped and fell during one shot, that she had actually broken her foot! So while she was barefoot during one sequence, she spent the rest of the film wearing boots with a hidden cast on her foot.
