Rose Mcgowan

It was obviously not the greatest movie of all time and the acting wasn't great in the slightest but....... Rose Mcgowan's acting was pretty dang awesome I didn't even know it was her till i looked up who that woman was. I'm not dumb i can usually spot these things but she gave off none of her usual signs and she completely changed the way she talked for the movie cuz that would have been a dead giveaway she has a unique way of sounding when she talks. I know she was in heavy makeup basically the whole film but her voice and mannerisms 'if not for her acting' would have been an easy bang dead giveaway. Not to mention she lost alot of weight !

I could tell it was her by the typical slutty way she walks. She is ugly enough in real life to be made uglier for a role must have been painful for her. Forever the the nasty skank with being a mega-ho as her only attribute.

Frankly, I thought she was the worst part of the whole movie.

I thought she was incredibly cheesy. In a film full of large hams, she was the largest.

Damn, though, I would SO pork that "large ham" - with or without cheese! :-D

Ahem... Decorum restored. Forgot I was an Englishman there, just for a moment.

This film may have violated the memory of one of my all-time favourite films, but thanks to her witchy hotness at least it wasn't a total loss. I didn't recognise who she was, either - had to look it up here afterwards... Surprised.

Marique had a bold swagger and was over-the-top evil and sexy. If that's cheesy, I'm loving it! BTW, I've read Rose's hair was folded back and prosthetics were used on her face and forehead, because she refused having her eyebrows and head shaved unless 5 million dollars was added to her contract.

she refused having her eyebrows and head shaved unless 5 million dollars was added to her contract.

This is untrue. She once made a joke about shaving her head for 5 million in an interview. She probably didn't even earn $1 million for the role.

Her voice clued me in. I really like her a lot in this.

best thing about this movie

Agreed! She perfectly conveyed the oddly sexy and dangerous witch-goddess!

Rob Zombie is one of the greatest movie directors today

She was kind of sexy in this film, but the daddy complex was nasty. I really don't know much about Rose, but she did a good job. It's too bad this film failed with viewers.

She would have been Red Sonja if this had been successful. She would have been awesome.
