Okay, so she's not obeying the first rule here. Or the second. Or the third, until later. Well, sorta.
1. Michelle Rodriguez's closet is filled wall to wall with nothing but black tank tops.
2. Michelle Rodriguez is always a cop. Except when she's a Marine.
3. Michelle Rodriguez has a nasty habit of getting herself killed all the time. Latin-American (mother Dominican, father Puerto Rican) actress, best known for playing badass characters (that are often in the army or an officer) in movies such as
The Fast and the Furious,
Resident Evil,
Avatar, and
Machete. She also made a brief foray into television by playing—you guessed it—a badass cop character that dies in
LOST.
Tends to die in movies,
but at least in a badass way.
This actress provides examples of:
The characters portrayed by this actress often provide examples of:
- Action Girl
- Bi the Way: She is rumored to have dated Kristanna Loken whilst filming BloodRayne. Neither have confirmed it.
- Former Teen Rebel: She was kicked out of 6 schools.
- Good Bad Girl
- Kubrick Stare: Is very fond of giving these in her movies.
- Ms. Fanservice: Try to find a movie where she's not.
- Sleeves Are for Wimps
- Spicy Latina
- Unkempt Beauty: Often portrayed as a greasemonkey or other character type who usually stays or otherwise looks dirty.
- Vasquez Always Dies: She rejects many of the more stereotypically feminine roles, which ends up leaving these.
- Her character gets killed off-screen during the The Fast and the Furious franchise, but eventually averts the trope in the post-credit scene of Fast Five, and she'll be returning in the sixth movie.
- In Resident Evil the SWAT team member Rain Ocampo (Michelle Rodriguez) becomes a Zombie Infectee a third of the way through, survives almost all the way through the rest of the film, and then dies on a tram a few minutes away from a cure. Blonde, minidress-wearing Alice (Milla Jovovich) becomes the Final Girl. The franchise lasted long enough that they brought her back via cloning for the fifth film. And both clones die.
- Averted in The Film of the Series SWAT, where she plays an LAPD officer in a SWAT team.
- Subverted in Machete: we're meant to think her character dies when she's shot through the eye, but she reappears at the climax of the movie with an Eyepatch of Power.
- In Avatar, she is a gruff gunship pilot who dons warpaint and dies in the final battle. The Blue-Skinned Space Babe Nubile Savage love interest lives.
- Averted in Battle Los Angeles where she plays an Air Force Technical Sergeant.
- Dies on Lost, though Anyone Can Die there (and she even cameos in the sixth season... for scenes in the afterflife).
- Wrench Wench
