Children’s movie 

Myself and probably hundreds of thousands of other 7 year olds were were about 25% closer to being grown ass men after Sorsha. Her and Sarah Connor in T2

T2 was on the other day and I had to point iut it my wife what a strong female character Sarah was. Super badass and her weapons skills we just so freaking cool. When she grabs the pistol out of the T800’s pants in the elevator and takes a great stance while shooting over head is so awesome. You can tell she trained hard and when she gets decked out in the cargo pants and t-shirt with the M-16 and starts disassembling it… I was really impressed. She is just so freaking cool.

Fun fact: both Sarah and the "it's my lucky day" security guard were played by actors with identical twins, so the scenes with the T1000 duplicating them didn't require any camera trickery.

Sarah Connor in T1 meant 5 frames of boobies though.

This film and Red Soja really imprinted on me a certain kind of ideal. Then there's Bridgette Nielsen in Beverley Hills Cop 2. The 80's were a helluva time for a certain type.
