5 Refreshingly Strong Female Characters in Tony Scott Films

3. Patricia Arquette in True Romance

Alabama Whitman may be crazy, but she€™s in love. And when push comes to shove, in the end, she€™s the last (wo)man left standing. She can fire a gun like no one, and can drive a 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado like no one else€ And even before The Bride, she was a sign that Quentin Tarantino could do strong female characters€ Imagine that: Quentin Tarantino€™s knack for dialogue, strong female, and action sense, coupled with the director that created Charlie Blackwood and Dr. Claire Lewicki. Alabama was a star-making role (another one!) for Patricia Arquette, and it created a memorable character that had humor, wit, enthusiasm, but most of all a thirst for life, fun, and guns! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brkCCSr6jAI

Francis Barel is a movie fan, a pop culture fan, and most of all a fan of Americana: everything that makes the American culture, whether it's baseball, entertainement or business. On the fun side, we're talking: John Williams, blockbuster movies, romantic comedies, and comic books. On the business side, we're talking: box-office returns, finance & banking, payments, and the corporate side of comic books.
