I am sure that many of you might not be aware of who Cynthia Rothrock is. But when I was a kid, she was absolutely my hero. She was a champion martial artist of several disciplines, she took no shit from anyone, she was beautiful and tough as nails and smart and funny and kind, and she starred in some movies that I totally ate up like candy because it was a WOMAN kicking everyone’s ass, and that was just completely new to me.
The movies, most aren’t great in terms of plot or direction or that stuff…but Cynthia had the charisma and skills to make them a blast to watch. I was just a huge fan, and every interview I have read of hers told me I was right.
She was and is one of a kind, and making kickass fight scenes and starring in her own action films when that was almost unheard of, at least in the American film industry.
This was in an interview she did with a movie site this past week.
THANK YOU, CYNTHIA ROTHROCK.
