Sure if you happen to be apprecitating a good villianess just goes without saying. After all a heroine is nothing without some evil chick standing in the wings waiting to torment her. From Barbara Steele to Baroness De Cobray we've all got our favorites, but sadly we often times forget the little ones, the chicks who don't get the attention or the following and are forgotten about. Well I for one will no longer tolarate that and with this(hopefully) ongoing series I can finally draw attention to some lonely characters who dare not be forgotten..and thankfully I've got a great one for a first post.
Viper
Movie: Doomsday(2008)
Actress: Lee-Anne Liebenberg
Who she is:
After a horrible 28 Dayish virus infects most of the population of Scotland, the British goverment eracts a modern Hadrian's wall and seals the infected folks off from England. The few who didn't get infected with the plague are reduced to a post-apocalyptic society that favors cannibalism, torture, anarchy, fire, and Adam and the Ants records. Our girl Viper is one of the nastiest and clearly got way too into the whole Celtic Revival scene.
Why she rocks:
Hell look at her! Cribbin her look from Mad Max's wasteland savages, and featuring facial tattooes which would scare a maori warrior, Viper is a perfect image of the type of savage barbarian chicks that you just know are gonna infest the world once the bombs drop. She's sadistic, kill crazy, and hot in that "I'm going to skin you alive and laugh as I do" way, and she gets a pretty nice lil' fight scene to show her stuff. She's not in the film long and hardly speaks but she sure as hell makes an impression.
Favorite scene:
Just before leaving to attend the Siouxsie and the Banshees-scored slaughterfest, our girl Viper stands in the doorway of the chained up Eden Sinclair(Rhona Mitra) gives her a nasty little smirk and smashes her captive's tracking device with her badass leather motorcycle boots. It's not much but the scary/sexy smile and just the mean bitchiness of the scene makes it my personal favorite......and kinda makes me wish we had some nice 6-hour hands on time between or prisoner and our villianess.
Viper....sexy, sadistic and not a little hot as hell. Perhaps that scene would come up in the directors cut or perhaps an outtake on the DVD....hope springs eternal!
ReplyDeleteI hope that imaginary deleted scene features Viper using her tongue to lick her poor captive all over.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Because it's hot.
