She'd put her career first and sod the rest, just like everyone else.

Think again. Sexual predators choose their victims. The ones that get away with it choose those they think they will get away with doing it.

Who cares ... not a show I would want to watch, not a women I would want to ... whatever.

I would pay money to see her kick the shit out of him.

reply

I don't know why but I doubt she has martial arts training.

reply

Well, she has been in loads of Chinese martial arts movies (including "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), so it is not hard to believe that she has had SOME training.

reply

Just more noise from Womens lib about how they can do anything men yet stuff like this keeps hapening.

reply

What? Dude, she's actually a trained martial artist.

reply

so was Steven Seagal.

reply

She was considered the female Jackie Chan in Hong Kong as she trained with him and did her own stunts.

reply

well alot of people re dumb

reply

Weinstein weights probably around 350 pounds. He would instanty crush her with his weight.

reply

sounds like a raunchy porn tape

reply

I'm pretty sure Weinstein has plenty of those. Most of them featuring himself.

It's so naive when women who train martial arts think they can beat up a huge guy. Any martial artist who trains in a real school doesn't just learn techniques, they learn their limits. Of course I would be rooting for Michelle Yeoh, but Weinstein would most likely wreck her in a fight, & it would be ugly.

In the movies, they deliver a karate chop to the neck, and the guy goes right down.

She would probably plan something like that.

reply

Ha, yeah exactly. Don't get me wrong I love the idea of girls/women training martial arts, and they should, and there are some things that can potentially help if they are being attacked, but in general they should always plan on it being an emergency only scenario, and realize that even then they are at a huge disadvantage, even with training. Nature is a motherfucker.

reply

Yep, it is one thing for someone in a karate dojo to practice hitting someone that is allowing themself to be hit... it is quite another when you have a full on street fight. Even if you know how to take someone down with one blow to a specific spot, the person in a street fight isn't going to just stand there and let you hit them at your leisure. I would expect she might get in a hit maybe even inflict some pain, but given the difference in size if he ever got hold of her it would be game over. Pretty much like an MMA fight, once the two fighter get tangled together it doesn't matter which one is better at boxing or striking it becomes a wrestling match and the huge size advantage would be nearly insurmountable. Hell all Harvey would need to do is roll on top and pull a Fatty Arbuckle on her ass.

I like Michelle Yeoh. I'm reminded of this article about Hong Kong movie people being screwed over by Weinstein for over a decade in distribution: https://popcultmaster.com/2017/10/30/tyrannical-tycoon/

Before clicking on this thread I was trying to figure out which star trek actress 90s onward.. Troi? Martial arts? Nah.. Dr Crusher? Maybe she could've been a black belt in her spare time?..Seven of nine? maybe and pretty sure she was in one of Weinsteins Miramax movies (Dracula2000?) but then shed have obviously been sacked/replaced. ..wait wasnt there Kirstie ally? nah can't see her doing any MA or being involved with HW in the 90s+... Alice eve? doubt shed do any MA... but hold on there's Zoe Saldana.yeah might be her.. But wait wasnt the Mummy woman in the last Trek film and she does all the martial arts..

Clicks on.. Duh!
