Bebot, Bebot!

Probably everyone’s first encounter with Maggie Q was from the movie Naked Weapon. I remember seeing this really cheesy looking movie poster of a very unfamiliar film with two hot chicks on it. It looked like a B-movie, but it was shown on major cinemas. I, on the other hand, just watched it from a lent dvd.

That movie almost had the same effect on me as did So Close - Shu Qi, Zhao Wei. Great Chinese movie, two babes, world-class action sequences, and, eventually, the use of the internet for more information on the Asian babes. At that time I searched for Maggie Q, Mission: Impossible III was already in production and I anxiously waited for her appearance.

A dear friend obsessively insists that Maggie Q looks so much like Kristine Hermosa’s sister - Kathleen. I don’t really remember that much how Kathleen looks like, but, Maggie can indeed pass as a Filipina or at least someone with Filipino blood; she has none. In fact, the only Asian blood she has is from her Vietnamese mother. The rest comes from a mixture of Polish, Irish and French. Her Asian looks led her to gain popularity in Hong Kong.

In Die Hard 4.0 she plays a villain. I’ll leave it at that. The movie is alright, but then again, we’ve been spoiled with a spew of great movies for the past couple of months (Spiderman 3, Transformers), so our expectations might still be at a high level. She’s in there for action and I can safely say that I was not at all disappointed at her fight scenes. Acting wise - I don’t really notice when it’s a hot babe.

I love Maggie Q. By the way, Q stands for “Quigley.” I did not stress how much I like her (looks) in this post but she is definitely in my top list. She used to serve as a conversation piece - “Kilala mo si Maggie Q?” to find out people with similar taste in babes. Now, she’s on to superstardom, and more people worldwide will adore her. She deserves it, or rather, we deserve her (adore such a fine creature).
