Terminator Woman

This film has got several key flaws. The first and most significant of which is the clear lack of a good plot! This sadly makes the film not only difficult to watch but also sends the watcher certain feelings of hopelessness, as if he or she is wasting valuable time of their short life. This means that the film cannot captivate it's audience, instead it encourages the viewing public to grow contempt for the film and everything associated with it! In short, it really is very very very very very very very BAD! Do yourself a favour and chew on a large rubber shoe, you'll find it far more interesting and enjoyable than watching Terminator Woman.

Not a bad martial arts film. Fight scenes were good. Michel Qissi did a good job directing his first film without Van Damme. Story worked without foul language and too much blood. Screenwriter Jeanette Francessca has a good line to the story that works. IT would be great to see something else from her in the same genre. She likes the art and having strong women promenant. IT was definitely worth watching. I recommend the film to all drama and martial arts lovers.

Terminator Woman is hilarious, obviously for all the wrong reasons!

There is no terminator, but there is a woman. In fact, a few. But the one in question is co-star Karen Shepard who looks fantastic in her action scenes, and isn't the worst actor in the bunch.

In fact, everyone kinda passes the acting bench okay. Typically mid 90's dress sense, lifestyle and humour makes for more than a few unintentional laughs though, but that just ads to the charm!

Shot in South Africa, cops on holiday, Karen Shepard and super kicker Jerry Trimble are soon brought into the action against super bad ass and director Michael Qissi. This in turn leads to some fantastic fight scenes, some of which are probably both of their best and are fun to watch.

Terminator Woman may not be a classic, but for fight fans or that of the stars, its worth a place in anyone's collection!

It's been too long since I have watched Terminator Woman until today. I am kinda feeling little sorry for myself (I've been given a few days off from work) because I fractured my wrist in sparring while doing martial arts the other night but this little gem managed to keep me entertained as I'm waiting for the pain killers to kick in.

I have a feeling the previous reviewers who had bad things to say about this movie don't like other films of this genre...I love them.

In Terminator Woman we have plenty of martial arts action. Jerry Trimble Jr and Karen Sheperd make an awesome team together. I give this 10 out of 10 because the movie involves many great fight scenes, yes the acting is really bad but if you are like me and can watch a movie for the fun side of it, then I am sure you can enjoy this nice little martial arts gem from the good old day as long as you don't take the movie too seriously.

Up until the somewhat under-heralded release of low-budget Karen Sheperd-starring chop-schlocky sensation 'Terminator Woman', brooding, broad-shouldered, B-movie villain par excellence Michel Qissi was better known as the towering, pony-tailed tibia-thrashing Muay Thai champion Tong Po, and the charismatically evil Qissi creates another memorable martial arts maniac in the scar-faced guise of merciless mobster Alex Gatelee, a wealthy, wholly corrupt businessman whose myriad larcenies include gold smuggling and human trafficking. Now desperate to retrieve his stolen gold bullion Gatelee kidnaps Julie (Karen Sheperd) one of the tough Kung Fu-fantastic cops hot on his trail, a crude gambit which proves injudicious as Julie is infinitely more resourceful than Gatelee's lumpen thugs, and her equally determined, punch-happy partner Jay (Jerry Trimble) being no less resolute! Atmospherically set in a dusty, sun-hazed African locale, the talented polymath Qissi equips himself remarkably well as actor/director/fight-coordinator, and while the script is rarely better than prosaic, the suitably gruff-voiced Trimble & sinuous Sheperd are likeable, boisterously bantering, head-knocking,high-kicking heroes, both clearly capable screen-fighters, and Qissi maintains good energy throughout, orchestrating an edifying number of kinetic fight scenes, Gung ho gun battles and a suitably blood-thirsty climax, wherein agile karate cops Karen Sheperd and Jerry Trimble really get to strut their red-hot pugilistic stuff, and capable composer Bruce Cassidy's bouncy score adds some additional pep to the fabulous fist-fighting ferocity! Fans of PM Entertainment, 90s-era Steven Seagal and Andy Sidaris should certainly make the effort to seek lost 90s action gem 'Terminator Woman' out.

'Legendary 'Kick Boxer' icon Michel Qissi's chop-schlocky skull-smasher 'Terminator Woman' is a triumphantly trashy, bone-crunchingly blissful B-Movie delight!' - Tor Bronson / 'The Heroic Blood Shed'

'Head-turningly hard-bodied, head-knocking, karate-kicking cooze Karen Sheperd can whoop my pizza dough-soft, bad movie-watching ass ANY day of the week!' - Goosey Lucy / Buxom Bloodfiends.
