鐵血武士、本能、凶靈
若你看了《烈女本色》已經拍案叫絕,更不要錯過《鐵血武士》。保羅韋浩雲初次拍攝英語長片,就把女人心莫測高深的主題處理得駕輕就熟。出道不久的珍妮花積遜李,演繹頑強求生的烈女,反過來將男人玩弄於股掌間,已散發迷人魅力。
保羅韋浩雲在《本能》貫徹其爭議本色,女人還是掌控大局,男人總是不自覺就陷入足以致命的迷魂陣。莎朗史東演繹美艷作家,被警探盤問時翹腿而坐乍洩裙下春光的一幕,常被引為佳話。性感尤物不再只是慾望對象,倒過來就把脆弱男權打得粉碎。
白賴仁狄龐馬執導的《凶靈》也有個不可小覷的女子,不要以為茜絲史柏錫看來像「人畜無害」的無知少女,千萬別惹怒她,她的怒火可摧毀一切。改編史提芬京成名小說,結合青春成長的痛楚與大開殺戒的復仇,白賴仁狄龐馬把異能少女故事拍成了驚慄經典。

FLESH+BLOOD, BASIC INSTINCT and CARRIE
Paul Verhoeven once said that Jennifer Jason Leigh is the only American actress who can handle Isabelle Huppert's character in ELLE, because she has shown how fearless and mesmerizing she could be in FLESH+BLOOD, by portraying the virginal lady who's kidnapped by the rebels in the Middle Ages and is willing to do anything to survive.
As one of the most controversial films ever produced in Hollywood, Paul Verhoeven's BASIC INSTINCT should be rediscovered as a neo-noir classic, where Sharon Stone plays the femme fatale that wields power over all men. As violent and misogynistic as it is sexually frank, the film transfers Verhoeven's flair to the realm of Hitchcockian intrigue, and the results are viscerally effective.
Brian De Palma is the first director to adapt a Stephen King novel with CARRIE, a blood-soaked thriller where an innocent young lady wrestles with telekinetic powers beyond her control. It became an instant hit and opened the door for all American directors, including Stanley Kubrick and Frank Darabont, to adapt King's novel into great films.
