message: The video game section  is just another useless wikipedia list and not relevant to the topic of the 80s/90s Hong Kong cycle of films.
The Manga/Anime section is a disaster with links to totally unsuitable sources such as news groups, blogs and comment threads. In many cases it never discusses "girls with guns" as a genre, or in the context of any lineage with the films and genre mentioned in the lede, but just use "girls with guns" as a quick descriptor for the content, because the film feature a girl or girls who use guns.Verlaine76 (talk) 13:04, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Delete Mange/Anime and Video games section 

message: I'm not sure why "girls with guns" is specifically a thing especially in contexts such as that videos for ("Police Assassins" OR "yes madam") 1985 show the female protagonists similarly fighting without guns.  "girls with guns" seems to me comparatively limited and I'm not convinced that it conveys an appropriate action film subgenre.  
I googled action film sub genres and, even here, there's only limited reference to a percieved "grrrl power" subgenre from a less notable source.  I'm not sure how much is made of the distinction between action movies with male or female protagonists and the extent to which this is used in classification and I suspect that editors may be pushing possibly good faith edits in a "girls with guns" direction. 
The current content of subgenres at List of genres#Action doesn't reflect the range of subgenres presented elsewhere and I think that this page should either be deleted or be either merged with Girl power or moved to something like Grrrl Power (subgenre).  Alternatively the page could develop into a history of women with guns in the media.  If the topic of girls with guns is wanted then that goes back at least to 1976 with TV's Charlie's Angels and to various blaxploitation movies stretching even further back in time.
Ripley, the strongest female character from films from 79, was, at one stage, girl with a flame thrower.  Beatrice Kiddo was regularly girl with a katana.  These are the giants of female action with both of whom weren't dependent on guns.  GregKaye 09:22, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Girls in action with and without guns 

message: In July 2022, a user who has now been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia added a cosplay image of Lara Croft to the article, only giving the edit summary "+photo"; see here . I've recently removed this image on the grounds it's a cosplay image. It's not an actual image of a 'Girls with guns' film, which is the subject of this article. I therefore think it has extremely limited relevance. , an account which now has three edits, reverted this removal (and also confusingly deleted 7 of the articles 10 references at the same time without explanation). So I'm starting a discussion about this issue to see what experienced editors have to say on the matter. Damien Linnane (talk) 01:53, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The Lara Croft cosplay image does not improve the page. Tomb Raider isn't discussed in this article, and I'm not even sure it's a good example of the genre (it's a video game film). Using cosplay photos might be a clever way to avoid copyright concerns, though. pburka (talk) 02:03, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for you comment. Speaking of video-games, there's a consensus at WikiProject Video Games that cosplay images should only be used if the article itself talks about cosplay in relation to the subject. Cosplay images shouldn't be added in just because they exist, no matter how accurate the depiction of the original character is. See the archived discussion here. I think that's pretty sound advice which should apply to all articles. Damien Linnane (talk) 03:45, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
