Everybody remembers Ripley, but Aliens was a solid gender equality movie… filmed way back in 1986. Remember Vasquez and Ferro? Totally believable, flawed and likeable badasses. I find today’s characters to be way too perfect to be believable. Wonder Woman is a good example. I find her annoying.

Vasquez was the cause of some very confusing and interesting feelings to little kid me…
Interesting tidbit: Actress that played Vasquez also did Sarah Conner’s mom…
Vasquez actress in Titanic:
this is blowing my mind
I just read an interview of James Cameron where he says they actually cut off her hair which was down to her waist at the time. He told her:
“Your hair will grow back. Vasquez will live forever.”
And she really does. What a character.
That’s a fascinating little nugget!
Close but not quite. John Connor’s foster mom.
I appreciate the correction. Looks like I need more electrolytes this morning!
I thought you meant she did her mom, not portrayed her.
This blew my mind a bit so here’s a pic for others…
“Hey Vasquez… Have you ever been mistaken for a man?”
“No. Have you?”
Top ten movie zinger for me. Delivered perfectly. Loved her character so much.
No I don’t remember this and looking it up, I can’t find any answers either. Just name the movie instead of being cute about it.
Maybe read that comment a little closer there.
