I may take flack for this, but ANY story like this that is released about anyone in a movie, should be taken with a grain of salt. Movie PR people will say ANYTHING to pump up their client’s resume.

Ever heard the one about Will Smith turning down MIT to be an actor? That never happened. Will Smith was a smart kid and a good student but the old tale is based on a diversity program at MIT that MAY have let him in IF he applied, which he did not.

Back in the day they really went all out. Jack Palance, who did serve in the military, was said to have been so disfigured in a military plane crash that his unique mug was a result of botch plastic surgery. Later on he would sarcastically deny the story was was kind of embarrassed by it.

I’m with you, I’m skeptical. Two huge guys were obviously massive pansies.

I’m not small, but it’s not even size. I’d be comfortable to go into those fake UFC rings and walk out victorious (though the way I do things, they may not be breathing).

I’d have no trouble taking this lass on, unless she had a gun and knew how to use it.

I taught unarmed combat in the infantry, and it’s kill in 2 hits or less. Anything less isn’t real fighting.

Considering she was doing the interview, I doubt she lied about anything since it could easily be verified with her local police dept........You did hear about what happened when she was pulled over by them a year later didn't you?
