Shi: The Way of the Warrior is a comic book film based on William Tucci's creation.

Jennifer looks a lot like the character in the comic.

Arashi13
I have read that the creator of Shi, Billy Tucchi, thinks Jennifer looks like Shi.

pr1983
There was a poster released a while back that had tia carrere as shi on it... i dunno how authentic it is though...

a shi movie, if done well, would be sweet...

Arashi13
Tia Carrerre was set to star in Shi which was going to be financed and produced by her husband. They then got a divorce before the shoot began and the movie has bounced around to different production companies ever since, but has yet to be made.

SeverianB
Yeah, I agree.

Arashi13
You agree about Jennifer Tapang or agree about the reason why Tia Carrerra never got to do the Shi movie or both?

I think Jennifer Tapang would make a fine Shi.

no expression yr kidding...

she's a half japanese, half american assassin, that looks so hot you wouldnt mind the fact that she's about to kill you in a particularly gruesome way...

and its pretty well written too... she's like a female batman, the whole 'you killed my family so im gonna get some revenge' kinda thing... she's hotter than batman too...

tapang looks ok, though i have no idea if she'd be able for it...

Arashi13
She certainly has the look for the part. I think this picture does a great job of showing that.

The acting skills would be the next crucial part.

pr1983
the likeness (in her face on the left side of the pic) is uncannily similar to some of the shi art i've seen...

i wonder if they'd have st. germain and arashi, and maybe germain's fight with peter...

or the whole tomoe is or isnt shi, that'd be cool too...

Arashi13
Jennifer does looks very similar to the character in the Shi art.

I read if they do the movie they may depart some from the original story and delve into the supernatural. Not a good idea. They should just stick to the female batman idea.

i agree... a tiny bit of philosophy is ok though, her teachings and such, but no more than that...

After looking at this particular photo it kind of makes me think of Johnny Cash music, just raw with honesty and passion. There's heroes and villians, good and bad, and right and wrong. The protagonist strolls into the bar which he sees as a microcosm of the big picture. He contemplates the meaning of his existence and he asks himself as he stares at Jennifer:
"Who's the babe in the red sweater?"

If you don't like that kind of music, simply insert the kind you do like. It still works the same.............

On the Shi issue I agree with you. They can touch upon certain things, but they shouldn't just dwell on it.

nice pic... i would... soooo much...

I honestly don't find her attractive..... which is weird as I normally like asian looking women.

shrug

That's okay. Looking through all of her pictures in that giant array of photographs I think that it really depends on what photographer she uses for best results. Although her photographic manager is a guy named Craig Huey, her best photos were actually taken by a photographer named Michael Kirk. But I do disagree with you on that photo of her in the red sweater top. I think she looks pretty good, especially if you are comic book artist. Her face fits the shape of how they draw comics. You can check that out at the bookstore. They have a book called drawing comics the Marvel Way and it is uncanny how much the initial shape of a womans face is just like Jennifers.

Most of them.

Jennifer looks good in most of her pictures. Some are a little strange because they are those so called "Art" kind that are bizarre.

Arashi13
You must be blind scoobless. She placed third in the Mrs. America contest and that contest does not allow transexuals. Nothing ticks off Donald Trump more then that, other then somebody with a real head of hair............

Just saying she has a certain ... masculine quality about her facial features.

Shi: The Way of the Warrior is a comic book film based on William Tucci's creation.

Jennifer looks a lot like the character in the comic. Loved the Shi comic book. Didn't realize they were still trying to bring Shi to the big screen. Jennifer Tapang is a great fit. She's hot.

Arashi13
Jennifer would be a good choice for the film or as a model for the comic.

LORDSIDIOUS01
Can she fight. Any martial arts background does she have.

Arashi13
Yes, she is trained in Kung Fu and Choy Lay Fut. I think her trainer is David Leong a black belt martial artist and Hong Kong movie star.

Arashi13
Yeah, I think she could. I wish they would do some sample photos of her in the Shi outfit and makeup. I would be interested to see how the comic character translates from comic book art to movie screen art.

LORDSIDIOUS01
Can she act?

Arashi13
Jennifer has appeared in two movies I think. One was a short, the other a feature length film. Whether or not she is a good actress is an unknown for me since I have not watched either film.

When reviewing other recommended candidates for Shi you will notice that Tia Carrerre and Kelly Hu are often mentioned, yet they are not exactly known as great thespians.

You forget that Tia Carrerre has been mentioned to play Shi ever since the first Shi comic book. Kelly Hu was in X2. I haven't heard anything regarding a possible Shi film in years.

Arashi13
Well they have struggled to make the Shi movie for years and years. So far no one has been willing to finance the picture. All of the deals have fallen through.

I think Jennifer could do Shi easily. It is basically an action flick. I think this black and white picture is very Shi like. Jennifer even has that scowl that Shi has.

LORDSIDIOUS01
She does like Shi. I can only hope that they do this film justice.

Arashi13
Well Billy Tucci is suppose to meet with Mimi Gitlin this November to start again on trying to get the film in the process of getting made. I hope that it eventually does.

I found one more picture of Jennifer. I think it looks pretty good.
