Okay, so this is not a "pure" kung-fu movie, which may surprise anyone who was following along in the Movie Draft last summer. Still, it is an fWo Entertainment production, which means that there will be more than a couple extended martial arts fight scenes in the movie.
Unlike some of the other participants, (and not unlike my trends in previous drafts) I am willingly imposing a handicap on myself not to select anybody who's already dead. And, with that in mind, I can't think of anyone alive today that I would rather have as my fight choreographer than San Te, aka Johnny Mo, aka Pai Mei, aka the Living Legend...

Alright, I was going to snag my writer this round, but I think he's safe a bit longer, so I'll go with another girl instead.
Rose McGowan as Bunny Bordeaux -- I've been trying so far to pick actors who are appropriate for their specific role, but who aren't typecast in that role. With the character above on her resume, this pick obviously breaks that guideline. However, she pulled it off nicely, got the humor of the whole thing, and clearly moved toward the top of the list when Brick stole my original Bunny.

To make Hell Cats the movie I want it to be, there was really only one way to go with a director.
Russ Meyer -- Director of such films as Mud Honey, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, and Vixen!, Meyer is a cult favorite, a personal favorite, and more than capable of turning a(n admittedly) thin plot about go-go dancers from hell into a big ol' ball of awesome.
More info, for those who may not be familiar.

OK, I'm managing to stay on top of things.
Gotta have a stellar, slightly dark, mood establishing soundtrack. And for that I'm going with the man behind the music of Pan's Labrynth ... who just so happens to have more ethnic credibility than most of my cast in the period peice. Sigh
Javier Navarrete

She appeared in the novels Ender's Game, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Shadow of the Giant, and Ender in Exile and is a central character in a prequel to Ender's Game, the short story "Teacher's Pest".
In "Teacher's Pest," the chronological first account of Theresa, then Theresa Brown, is given. She is depicted as a graduate student researching community formation and social connections, but overshadowed by her father, who is renowned as a theoretical military genius. It is guessed by Theresa and John Paul in "Teacher's Pest" that John Paul's forced attendance of her class may be a ploy by the International Fleet to allow them to meet.
Although she has hidden her Mormon faith, she remains devoutly religious when allowed to speak freely, which is rare. She prayed over the sleeping Ender when he was young, and in a conversation with Bean in Shadow of the Hegemon reveals efforts on behalf of her children to raise them religiously were stifled by the International Fleet's interest in them and the fact that the Fleet would have undoubtedly interfered had they attempted to instill a specific value set.
After both Peter and Valentine were determined to be inappropriate for Battle School, the International Fleet bent their population restrictions and allowed the unfettered birth of Ender. As a Third, a child born third to the family, Ender faced discrimination, but it is revealed that Theresa and John Paul intended to have a third child regardless of the International Fleet restrictions for religious reasons.
She also notes that it was too late to teach Peter religion, but that after seeing his violent, ambitious, and ruthless tendencies, she tried with John Paul to teach him basic concepts like decency, although at the time Peter despised them both.
She is a minor character in the Ender quartet but is given a much more prominent role in the Shadow Series. It is revealed in the Shadow series that she and her husband, John Paul, were fully aware of Peter Wiggin's actions as a teen and his work under the penname "Locke". The series also outlines in detail the struggles she experienced as the mother of three of the most brilliant minds on Earth.
