Honestly I think it would be a perfect match for Tarantino.

Vivica Fox would be perfect as Misty. I'm not sure who would make a good Colleen.

i have many times said a daughter if the dragon movie would work, it has the "blade" appeal, a pretty badass yet pretty unpopular franchise that fans wouldnt be too busted up if the director tweaked to make it more movie friendly, but i do NOT think vivica fox would work, i think that

Regina Hall

would be the perfect misty knight, shes pretty, has good comic timing enough to deliver awesome one liners, and contrary to popular belief, she CAN do dramatic work, as seen in movies like paid in full (an extremely underrated movie)

id cast Devon Aoki as colleen wing

shes proven she can be badass in movies like sin city and war, and looks the part.

id try and get robert downey jr to make a cameo. and u got a potential hit

Maybe Rachel Grant?

I could see either Hall or Fox for Misty. The 2nd Nikki Woods from Season 7 Buffy ("Lies My Parents Told Me") might work, too. I like the choice of Aoki, and Grant certainly looks the part, although I'd rather see her as Psylocke. Another left-field possibility for Colleen: Jewel Staite of Firefly/Serenity.

No way in hell this is suited for Tarantino.
If we're talking about the original 70s versions, if they were alive, either Robert Clouse or Gordon Parks. Going in the original 70s style, John Singleton (watch 4 Brothers) would be better suited. If we're talking about the recent great mini by Palmiotti and Gray, I'd say someone with a little slicker look to them than Tarantino. He's done his blaxploitation film in Jackie Brown and that blew donkey cock. If Yuen Woo-Ping wasn't directing the 09 Shang-Chi film, he would've been my choice. Maybe someone like a McG or even a good HK director like Lau Wai-Keung (who did the original Infernal Affairs).

I would love to see a Daughters Of The Dragon movie as long as it isn't girl power tripe. The Daughters Of The Dragon were never girl power, but just some kick ass women.

John Singleton as a director.
Marsha Thomason as Misty.
Kelly Hu as Colleen.

If it were rated R with plenty of sex, violence, and nudity, I would watch it.

PG or PG13 rating, no thanks.

If Vivica Fox were working during the 70's she would've given Pam Grier a run for her money. Anyway, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I do like your choice for Colleen. Damn!

If we're talking about the recent great mini by Palmiotti and GrayYeah, I was thinking of a script based on the that storyline. The only thing is that some people might not accept the superhuman elements of the story.

Vivica's good, but almost too on-the-nose, if that makes sense.

I like Regina Hall and wish she'd do more stuff. She's beautiful and funny and I'd like to see her with some serious attitude in something like this.

I wouldn't turn either away.

I won't watch Daughters Of The Dragon if they cast the overrated Aoki as Colleen Wing.

And no PG-13 bull, please. I want some kick ass 70s movie. Kind of a like a Roundtree Shaft movie but with two ladies laying the smack down.

With a title like "Daughters of the dragon" , sounds like it'll be suitable for a 70s grindhouse movie with Nicholas Cage as Fu Man Chu as the villain. :wink:

If the movie was in the same vein as the mini series from a couple of years ago, it would rock.
