Hey, me and my group are doing a paper on gender roles in cinema and we need some help!
We are looking for instances of strong female characters who take a physical role in fighting of villains.
We need examples of three things:
1) Where women characters knock out men in hand to hand combat (like Sydney from Alias)
2) Where women use their "feminine" ways to distract/seduce men in order to help the hero.
3) Where women knock out men using stealthy techniques (like the end of Octopussy where the girls storm the castle, or KOing guards.)
This was a hard topic and we are looking for more examples so figured we'd try the movie forum haha.
Any help is appreciated!
