Wait, hang on: You're assuming a 'roundhouse' punch to the jaw = lights out? I've been hit in the jaw many times in full-contact sparring, and I managed to remain standing... as have other pro fighters, both male and female.
And you're assuming size = direct correlation to power? (Hint: Manny Pacquiao is 5' 6", weighs no more than 150 pounds, and could beat the snot out of your theoretical Ravens linebacker. Mass is useless without speed or skill.)
And your example of excessive fight choreography is 'Blade 3' wherein a group of supernatural non-existant comic book characters duke it out?
Who's insulting whose intelligence?
Please, stop talking about something you are not actually familiar with. Also, the video is entertainment. It's a fight that's designed to be entertaining. If you were not entertained, fine, but don't go nagging on them about 'how unrealistic' you think it was, especially if you've never practiced a martial art for a single day of your life.
Wow, you're trying to read so much more into a simple comment. But yes, I'm sure you're right, a 110lb woman can take a direct punch to the jaw from a 250lb man who supposedly knows how to fight and shake it off like she was hit by a mosquito.
I think you better take your own advice and stop talking about things you know nothing about. Also, if you had any reading comprehension you'd realize I wasn't talking about that particular video, but just making a general comment about how bad-ass women are sometimes portrayed in movies.. Oh, and mass is NOT useless without speed - would you rather get hit it the face by a baseball going 20mph or a nerfball going 40mph.
I stated Blade 3 as an example. And although I may be proved wrong (it was very hard to make it through the whole movie), Jessica Biel's character was human, nothing more.
