The Inverse Spy Flick

Tumblr user kehinki imagined a synopsis of a James Bond-type movie with the gender roles reversed. Other Tumblr users gladly added to the story until it was a full-blown treatment. A team of spies made up of diverse women battle super villains, also women, while the sole male character is only there because he’s sexy. Here’s one contribution.

In one scene, the lead villain captures the Strong Male Character. He is, once more, inexplicably shirtless as she ties him to the chair. He makes some quips about his sexual independence before he is rescued by a sweat-drenched Helen Mirren, who kicks down the door and nukes everyone in the room. Strong Male Character’s hair remains perfect throughout the ordeal.

Oh yeah, the Bond character is played by Helen Mirren, which means we must cast a 20-something male. Artist Jenna Amber was inspired to add the above illustration of the main characters. See a few more illustrations of the movie at Ambervisions (possibly NSFW). -via Metafilter


No amount of political correctness will make women remotely as strong as men. Its about a 2:1 disadvantage. I wonder how many women have been hurt in the real world because nobody tells them the truth, anymore.

When Hollywood tries to have a female action movie lead, they always cast some 4.5' 90lbs girl and have her pummeling a gigantic body builder, and it couldn't be more laughable. It would be one thing if it was all gun play, but I assume that makes for a much less exciting film.

What? What??? 4 women and ONE guy? Do my eyes deceive me? It must be an homage to Ghostbusters - the female version. IMO, there are way too many tv shows (and movies) that have four men to one woman (or 5 men to 1 woman). It would be sooo radical to actually have TWO(!) women that are friends, no less, on a male dominated show. It's getting better but it would be nice if there were more shows done this way.
