      She was widely ridiculed for the quote with Alien as a notable example.

      I think the rest of the quote was pretty accurate. She was speaking to gender bias in Hollywood and saying she was happy to be an exception, which I think was fine. But because she said something boneheadedly wrong to tee up the point, that’s all anyone really remembers about it.

        You can be wrong but still hold a valid point broadly.

        If you say “franchises” instead of movies and limit it to movies where the woman is the STAR and not part of a duo (Terminator and Terminator 2) and goes for 3 or more movies the only other example I can think of off the top of my head is Alien.

        Theres a lot of female starred standalone movies, and a decent number of duos, sometimes with sequels. But once you start looking beyond that it gets REALLY skinny really fast.

      Dude, there are at least:

      • Alien
      • Doomsday
      • Planet Terror
      • Aeon Flux (edit: not Aron Flux)
      • Catwoman
      • all Charlie’s Angels movies
      • and literally all Mills Jovovich movies

      They are not all that well known, but the claim is still complete nonsense.

      Edit:

      • Ultraviolet
      • Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
      • Sucker Punch
      • Salt
      • Pans Labyrinth
      • Lara Croft
      • Kill Bill !!! (How the f did I forget Kill Bill?)
