Don’t know if this movie will enjoy a long run at the box-office, but we should note the presence of two exquisite actresses, namely Maggie Q and Aisha Tyler.

Maggie QFirstly, Margaret Denise Quigley was born on May 22, 1979, and is of Vietnamese and Irish-American descent. In fact, her dad had met her mom during the Vietnam War. She was born in Hawaii, but eventually began a modeling career that took her to Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Maggie began her movie career in 2000 in the latter country with a couple of projects, one ironically titled Model from Hell. She could be glimpsed the next year in Rush Hour 2. Naked Weapon can be considered a breakthrough part in 2003, that movie being a sort of remake of the legendary cult thriller Naked Killer, starring Chingmy Yau. For North American audiences, Miss Q was mainly noticed in Mission Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard. So now fans around the world can have the pleasure of watching Maggie paddle-wielding her way in this ping-pong comedy. So watch out for this actress with these unique facial features, a perfect blend of East and West.

Aisha TylerLast but not least is Aisha Tyler, born on September 18, 1970, in San Francisco. Maybe the tallest female stand-up comic of all time (she stands 6 ft tall, not counting the heels), she used to skip school to attend improv classes. After touring and enjoying a comedy career, she made her debut on television by guest-starring in various series, like Nash Bridges. The spotlight was on her in 2001 when she hosted the satiric TV show Talk Soup and began popping on various televised projects. Her movie career has been a bit more discreet and we hope that bigger things will come her way in many higher-profile projects, as that unique mix of beauty and humor is not to be wasted another second. Still, she wrote, directed and starred in her own short film, The Whipper. As this is written, two movies having Aisha in their respective casts are in theaters, Balls of Fury and Death Sentence. For many years, there was this rumor that Halle Berry would star in a remake/homage of a blaxploitation picture of the seventies. May I suggest now Ms. Tyler, who would be perfect as the new Cleopatra Jones?
