Food for Thought: Bad-Ass Brittany

A lot of fans remember Brittany Taylor's stunning display of military acumen at the paintball field in "The Daria Hunter," but a more direct example of her combat prowess appears in "Monster."

When boyfriend Kevin gets whaled on by grocery store employees for crossing a picket line, Brittany, wearing a pink gown, jumps on the back of an assailant and opens up a 55-gallon drum of grade-A high-octane WWE-certified whupass. She becomes the original pit bull with lipstick, captured in all her savage glory on videotape.

Discuss.

That's . . . wow . . . I had forgotten all about that. Okay, Brit showing creepy amounts of combat skill once is a throw away joke, but twice is characterization.

Where did she learn it? And why?

Sorry about the sloppy picture arrangement. Fixed now!

Any more discussion? I was thinking she watches too much Walker. Texas Ranger. Where'd she learn to fight like that?

She's a top secret sleeper cell super agent with time-release brain implants that have some slight leakage issues, releasing the lock on her genetically enhanced combat abilities under certain circumstances.

Or maybe she's the last living practitioner of cheer-style kung fu.

I am so tempted to write fic with Brittany as a pro wrestler now....

I confess that the street-fighter angle makes Brittany vastly more appealing, in a perverse way. Wonder how many bruises Kevin accumulated over the years as a result.
