  • I can't help but imagine how this would play out in a ridiculous B movie. Prostitutes learn karate to defend themselves, causing the pimp to send in thugs to crack down. The pro's band together and fight back, leading to a good hour's worth of gratuitous skin and violence culminating in a big pimp-vs-ho kung-fu showdown. Set it in 1970's Harlem and you've got yourself an instant classic.
  • This world could only be improved by the presence of roving mobs of ninja prostitutes.
  • I think you just described the movie Sin City.
  • A cyborg ninja prostitute with a heart of gold falls in love with and is rescued from her sordid existence by a wealthy but sensitive intergalactic businessman from the future. With a bhangra soundtrack.
  • Karate Chop Sytems exactly.
  • One of these women has excelled in her lessons and become a black belt apparently. Her name is Givindi Plo. She has even developed a new strategy which they have named after her. They have called it the Givindi Plo Chop.
  • Soon to be adopted by Arnie.
  • I love you people.
  • La la la la la! I'm in love with lonely Johnny!
  • So this movie... does it come with a happy ending?
  • What I'd like to see is someone karate chop a pork chop.
  • Karate chop and pork chop reminds me of this... Miss Piggy: Methinks thou doth protest too much. Kermit:      What? Miss Piggy: Shakespeare. Kermit:      Sounds more like Bacon. From a ham. Miss Piggy: How would you like a pork chop? Hi-yah!                [karate chops Kermit] Miss Piggy: You always hurt the one you love.
