And I admit, it's probably trivial but....
How come when the movie is all about being in anything not civilized, like, you know, an apocalyptic show like Road Warrior or maybe a Space oater movie like the Alien series, all the women are grimed up,just like the guys, but when the gals, usually in a tank top, take aim with those huge guns we see a manicured underarm.
That's the line they just wont cross. Gotten have those bare underarms and hairless legs even though they are far, far away from fresh water let alone a showers with a lady Schick razor...
