Wait, does this mean those straight to video movies she put out in the 90's were not documentaries?

...i am crushed...

Oh, yeah! I'd go there.

Didn't she used to fight Emperor Norton in a lot of her films?

Damn, that must have been EPIC!

Though the techniques are ... shall we say overly optimistic, the fact that she actually addressed the idea of groundwork was frickin' revolutionary for the 80's.

And yes, I think every martial artist during the 80's had a crush on Rothrock.

I'll be the first to say I didn't even know she existed. Then again, I was 8 years old at the end of the 80s and Australian TV programming/ movie releases were not, shall we say, diverse.
