3rdly they are just plain lazy. Even Summer Glau didn't do 100% of stunts cause some where dangerous(really).
Adam Baldwin didn't do all his own stunts, either. Same for Fillion, Tudyk, etc.
Does that mean they're lazy and incapable, too? (ZOMG!!1! And they were in make-up, too!!!)
Or, gosh, I dunno... maybe the movie company can't risk losing one of the main actors to an accident because they're not trained as stuntmen? Oooooh, or maybe liability insurance would be incredibly expensive if they made untrained people do dangerous stunts?

And your a dumb ass for not reading the whole of my post since I did give reasons why some movies work with Female leads, and I even said that its usually down to the storyline of the film which lets it down not the actress.
I'm up in arms for female action movie but not ones which tart some actress up make her wear a bikini and have sex and then top it off with the actress doing almost none of her own stunts. Doing virtually none of her own stunts isn't always a bad thing but it don't help/

And say for instance Mal isn't a standard sterotypical action hero and doesn't even require to do many stunts, and why the Hell do they always think Female action stars need to be flexible and jump around alll the time, I say lets have a solid female actress who like a female version of John Mclane from Die Hard

And it seems as though you completely missed the point of mine.
You called female actresses incompetent (not be able to do even simple stunts) and lazy.
Neither of those accusations you made has anything to do with the quality of the movie.

God women I said Some actresses, even pointed that out twice and I was only talking about the ones which are rubbish at action movies.
And remember I'm with having Female action stars, stunts is just one of many reasons sometimes actress can't do action movies. And lets not foget its the stroyline half the time of not more than half the time which lets the film down.

And there are plenty of actress's out there which could be so good at doing action movies its just I hate when they pick the pretty ones which are a bit airheaded and don't give a shit about the movie, only the money. But again I'm talking about some actress's.
And for the record my 2nd post was about in general not just stunts.
And Please Warner Bros since you own the rights to Batman please remake Catwoman but with Michelle Pfeiffer like she was in Batman Returns, bad ass to the bone.

And male actors, of course, are never lazy. :) Riiiiight.
Seriously, dude, that's where I stopped reading. Maybe because I was half afraid to hear you say next that women can't vote, either. Or go to college. Or what not, not.
I'm sure there's a reason why movies with women in a leading role don't do all that well (and even that broad generalization is on shaky grounds: Sigourney Weaver did pretty well in the Alien sagas). But bringing up actresses' alleged laziness was reason for me to deduct 10 points from your argument. And since I generally pull the plug at -10, the buck stopped there; and me along with it.

Is everybody stupid I'm giving many possible reasons why certain(not all) actress's might not be suited to action movies, but I'm personally up for actress's being Action Stars, I mean honestly their are more things to nickpick about Male Action Stars.
And I though BROWNCOATS were different seems to me they're just as bad as other fandoms, some stuck up ******** our got amongst us. Why does everybody take it so Gorram seriously, I share my views other people take my views as sexist, OMFG your a turd.
And what's the deal one mention of sexism or negativeness to any woman or women in general and its like kill me traitor sex pig of a two timing whore, but when people slag off Men we are like okay whatever then move on. And for the record I'm never been sexist in this thread so far, I've only described why I think a certain type of actress(but not all) should not do action movies and I could say the same about Male actor's, Tom Crusie anybody.

Ignore everything said cause the following 2 pics explain why it's Bad and why its Good to have Female Action Stars. The problem is bad storyline's, and trying to make Actress's like Male Action Star's when they should be more like Ripley and Uma Thurman from Alien and Kill Bill still women with real feeling which act normal but can stll kick ass not some suped up genetically enchanced Super Mario Jumping Kumba's with Zero Character
BAD, Aeon Flux...
Good, Kill Bill...
BAD, Elektra...
GOOD, ALien
