Nano assistance.

I need some help with some background material. I'm not a movie buff, but one of my characters is. Can folks help me come up with a list of movies where a normal-looking woman turns into an unstoppable killing machine? No robots.

So far, all I can think of is Species and Ginger Snaps. I've ruled out Eve of Destruction and the latest Terminator due to the No Robots thing...

I'm afraid that the sentence mixing "movie" and "normal-looking woman" has caused an incongruence in my brain.

Well, to a degree you could use Alien 1-N. The Matrices are also contenders. Also springing to mind: Thelma and Louise, Kill Bill, and Natural Born Killers. All have varying degrees of applicability. I'm a bit surprised I can't think of more.

Well, what about things other than robots? Cat People...?

I guess Carrie is, in a way, in that vein.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse
The Faculty is a good one.

Would "So I Married An Axe-Murderer" work?

Scope out River in "Serenity", due out on DVD before Christmas.

"Firestarter" and "The Craft" might assist as well for powers trips. "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and "La Femme Nikita" for estrogen-laden assassins.

"Ripley" aka Sigourney Waever from all of the Aliens movies. She kicked a lot of alien butt.

"Alice" aka Mila Jovavich of the Resident Evil movies. She kicked a lot of zombie and mutant creature butt.

The Fifth Element
The Long Kiss Goodnight
The Ring (What? The thing coming up the well is womanish and unstoppable and she kills people!)
Nikita
Red Sonja (okay, that's just too cheesy...)
The Matrix
