Femme Fatalities Message Board

I was curious to hear from others about the biggest missed opportunities from movies, in your opinion.

To clarify, my intent is to discuss movie scenes with some kind of perilous situation, a shootout or almost stabbed, threatened by gun or blade and coming out unscathed or even just wounded. Scenes where sexy female character could have been killed but did not. Could have been a villainess or heroine or other character.

Here is my #1. This sword fight is great from a 1988 movie called Glitch. He could have so easily finished her off.

If i had to pick a #2 it might be Enemy Gold with Julie Strain and she could have been taken out in gunfights but unfortunately was explosion instead which is a shame in my opinion.

Any action movie shootout at a club/party where the establishing shot prior shows bunch of hotties lounging around but during the actual shootout none of the background babes actually get hit somehow

Passenger 57.

A government agent , Wesley Snipes, is passenger 57 on a flight which is hijacked. He manages to kill all the hijackers except for one. Played by Elizabeth Hurley.

Elizabeth Hurley's character should have been killed for her crimes against acting...

-Maggie Q's character having such a boring death in Die Hard 4

-Diane Kruger's character death being so short in Inglorious Bastards

-Alexandra Daddario's character not being strangled to death in "We summon the darkness" but rather being hit by a car (even though she is strangled before that for a few seconds)

In the movie Clue when, I believe in one of the alternate endings, Wadsworth says something to the affect of "let's stack the bodies in the basement and move one." I was SO waiting for the body stacking to take place....

For hanging aficionados the biggest missed movie opportunity has to be the hanging of Cat Ballou! In the film the "Preacher" imposter slashed the rope instantly with a straight razor WHILE she fell through the gallows trapdoor BEFORE she hit bottom? Oh, sure. She SHOULD have hanged for a minute or two at least of kicking and dancing while he sawed at that stout and sturdy hemp rope---assuming that all of the men on the platform did not SHOOT HIM! It was a fairy tale, and it could have been a lot more realistic dance!......................elsullo

Oh, in Clue the pretty buxom maid SHOULD have been hanged dramatically instead of quickly strangled in the dark! It was a nice hangman noose for cripes sake!....................elsullo

RoboCop. This scene. Should've been a female victim.

As long as we can get a Wardrobe malfunction and a upskirt shot. I think that would make the scene even better

Exactly. Maybe her blouse and bra completely blown off. That would have been epic.

This scene in The Blob. Way too short and could've thrown in some nudity (maybe her clothes dissolve). I would have loved to see her floating in the booth completely immersed in the the goo while her clothes dissolve and she thrashes around suffocating.

Jurassic Park!

Literally the entire franchise has been a waste of opportunities for female vore and dino caused fatalities.
We got exactly one female eaten by a dinosaur in all of those movies combined!

Anybody know who Samuel Fuller was? B-movie director extraordinaire.

There was supposed to be one of his westerns on Tuner Classic Movies last night. But for some reason they showed some other movie.

The movie they were supposed to show was "40 Guns." Barbara Stanwick plays an evil Cattle Queen. Her brother is even more evil than her.
Three (good guy) brothers ride into town and one falls in love and decides to stay on as Town Marshall.
Meanwhile, the older (good guy) brother starts a love affair with Barbara Stanwick.
Barbara's evil brother kills the middle (good guy) brother on his wedding day, so the older brother goes gunning for him. Evil brother takes Barbara as a human shield.
Older good guy brother shoots through Barbara, (slightly wounding her,) and kills her evil brother.
But that's not the way it was supposed to end. The older good guy brother was supposed to shoot and kill Barbara and the bullet would penetrate her and kill her evil brother as well.
But the studio bosses thought that ending was too much of a downer and insisted that Sam Fuller rewrite the ending so Barbara survives the shooting.

In the remake of I, the Jury, the producers ad directors blew everything. They ruined a good plot. The royally screwed up the killing of Charlotte buy using a brunette instead of a blonde, by having her dressed instead of naked, they shot her in the wrong place and they had her die before Mike Hammer uttered his most famous line ("It was easy.")

The killings of Julie Strain in both of the Andy Sideris films she appeared in were awful in that they blew her up instead of using a more personal technique as they did with Devin DeVasquez.
