Reply to comment by ignore_me_im_high in Cynthia Rothrock was the best Martial Arts female movie star and yet she almost never gets any credit by Lili_Danube

Hmmm. It's hard to think of any actor that would not benefit from multiple takes.

Right.... and if Cynthia Rothrock didn't get those extra takes and those other actors did, then it's easy to see why someone might think she wasn't as good at acting.

I mean, in their first English speaking roles neither Jet Li or JCVD could even speak English and were just doing lines phonetically. It was awful to say the least, and both those actors getting to be in bigger films had nothing to do with acting ability. Cynthia was easily on their level at the very least.
