It’s an eclectic grouping, with several names familiar to ‘80s genre fans (NIGHT OF THE COMET’s Catherine Mary Stewart, TOMBOY’s Betsy Russell, CHINA O’BRIEN star Cynthia Rothrock), as well as newcomers like Rebekah Brandes (BELLFLOWER). But what makes this collection unique is its emphasis on women from the martial arts and stuntwork fields, such as Sophia Crawford, Cheng Pei Pei, Yukari Oshima, Diana Lee Inosanto, and Marrie Lee, with Watson and his interviewees discussing casting, training, the need for strong female roles, and much more. Along with an introduction by director Steve Carver (BIG BAD MAMA), this 244-page volume is a fun addition to any action addict’s library.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e-- Shock Cinema\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead the First 10 Pages Here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49491752386819,"sku":"gmz1787291518957","price":18.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/2202\/3427\/files\/bad-ass-women-of-cinema-a-collection-of-interviews-paperback_1.jpg?v=1787291524","url":"https:\/\/trendpulseboutique.shop\/products\/bad-ass-women-of-cinema-a-collection-of-interviews-paperback","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
