This is exotic belly dancer Alla Kirshnir, who contrasts innocent facial expressions with sensual body dance movements.

It's also cool she is dancing to Santana's Black Magic Woman.

YOW!!

If that didn't put a man in the mood, it's' cause he'd ceased breathing two days before!

That lady can go from a whisper to a roar in the same breath.

They lost me with that wheelbarrow full of guns.
The Man With the Iron Fists Trailer
Kill Bill III? Looks like they recycled one of the settings from that one . . .

"Into Darkness" just went on my Netflix waiting list.

Then it occured to me, how many times did he fall on his butt, crash into telephone poles, scarred and bruised himself to get that ability. I guess, that's how he did it!
What I had to wonder was how many bikes he destroyed learning this . . . he must have at least have blown out tires, bent rims, and maybe broken axles.

I put this one in my Netflix queue as soon as I found out about it.

Looks like they used the same cast from the previous one. I really liked it a lot, though if I recall, there were some plot holes. So what? The viewer is too busy cringing at high-speed objects not always colliding with each other. The characterization was outstanding, too; I especially liked the McCoy character -- speech and facial expressions were perfect.
