How well do you know your female MMA fighters? Mulan aside, who are some female kung fu legends – and the actresses who played them? From MMA champions such as Bruce Lee fan Zhang Weili and Amanda Nunes, to actresses like Juju Chan, these women are, pound for pound, the toughest fighters in the world.

A few questions for @AlbertV, have you watched the following 90's B-Movie?. Do you know anything about the leading ladies, and their Martial Art's credentials?.

 

 

[AlbertV]

Hmmm. I've never seen this, but I'm officially putting this under my radar. But I know some of the females here:

I see Kathleen Kinmont, who was married to Lorenzo Lamas from 1993-97 and co-starred with him in the Renegade series, Night of the Warrior, and Final Impact. 

I've seen Finn Carter in the comedy How I Got into College.

Patricia Tallman is a stunt performer who took the lead role in Tom Savini's remake of Night of the Living Dead with the Candyman himself, Tony Todd. 

Marjean Holden is a stunt performer and martial artist who many will know most likely for her role as Sheeva in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. She also took the lead role in a martial arts action film called Ballistic aka Fist of Justice, which had a young Michael Jai White in a henchman role and Shaft himself, Richard Roundtree, as her father. The male lead playing Holden's boyfriend, Joel Beeson, was best known for two things: a commercial for Perferred Stock cologne where he does some kickboxing and playing the "Hombre" guy on an episode of Friends, in the 1990s

Catherine Hickland was a popular TV actress once married to David Hasselhoff.

Quote

“We all need to be the agencies of change right now – as a collective and as individuals,” she says. “We need to engage our communities, our family, our friends and leadership of all backgrounds in conversation and in action to mitigate the hate we are experiencing.”
