Scene of the Week: Point of No Return – Maggie vs Victor the Cleaner

It isn’t every day that you get to write about Bridget Fonda in a badass action movie but today is that day, my friend! Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year is 1993’s Point of No Return which was directed by John Badham (Bird on a Wire, Drop Zone) and based on the Luc Besson film Nikita.

A film about a hot-ass trained assassin whooping the ass of men while dressed as a whore seems like an idea ripe for remake. It was made into a totally fine television show starring Maggie Q in recent years. It ran for a few seasons but never left the mark that earlier films or even the USA show based on the character had left. To be completely honest, this character has been shown on screen so many times that it’s a wonder that it hasn’t gotten its own boxset. To date there have been two movies and 9 seasons of television about the murderous lovely. I’m sure you’ll understand why if you watch the scene below. A personal favorite from the 1993 jam.
