I didn't think about it that way, but now that I do, you are right. She
needed to make him pay for mocking her tallents. She does all of her own
stunts and the stunt people (the guys that are trying to kick her b**t,
and getting their's kicked instead) are all her guys that she has worked
with on her movies from the past. They really are beating each other up!
The fight scences(sp), though choreographed, are very real. That is very
impresive to me.
