Cynthia Rothrock (born March 8, 1957) is an American martial artist and actress in martial arts films. She holds black belt rankings in seven styles of martial arts and was a high-level competitor in martial arts before becoming an actress. In 2014, she was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame. Rothrock was born in Wilmington, Delaware, and began training in martial arts at the age of 13. She quickly rose through the ranks, winning numerous championships in karate, kickboxing, and tae kwon do. In 1981, she was named World Champion in Forms and Weapons. In 1985, Rothrock made her film debut in the Hong Kong action film Yes, Madam!. The film was a box office success and made Rothrock a star in Asia. She went on to star in several more Hong Kong films, including Wheels on Meals (1984), Return of the Dragon (1986), and In the Line of Fire (1988). In the late 1980s, Rothrock returned to the United States to pursue an acting career. She starred in a number of low-budget martial arts films, including Lady Dragon (1992), Above the Law (1993), and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997). In recent years, Rothrock has continued to act and teach martial arts. She is also a successful businesswoman, with her own line of martial arts clothing and accessories.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
