! Japanese are never afraid to put an athletic woman in a heroic role without making her look / behave like a guy (even their current bodybuilders and other disciplines practitioners look a lot more balanced and harmonic than their Western colleagues).Something Hollywood still has to...not "learn", but rethink.
Yeah, yeah, Sue Price and all those "Nemesis" movies, but what I sense is not exactly fear of athleticism, but failing directly when picking the base: you can't turn naturally slim, tiny actresses into believable fictional fighters, no matter how much abs you see. You know what happens when you shove a lot of training into skinny actresses all of a sudden? Jennifer Garner in "Elektra": that poor woman didn't look healthy at all. Compare that with Jessica Biel: she has/had a lot of training experience, so when she pumped up for "Blade", her muscles happily swole.Linda Hamilton's conditioning is different because her physique made her look more deranged than strong.
