Tanya (Demolition High)

Tanya (played by Melissa Brasselle) is the second villainess in the 1996 action movie thriller Demolition High. She is an active (and attractive!) member of a terrorist group who plans to launch a missile.
Tanya seduces the guard at the school by pretending to ask him for directions and wearing a revealing vest that exposes her large breasts and midriff. The guard is cheerful and to Tanya's delight, continues to gaze at her chest. Her playful attitude vanishes when she shoots and kills him. She then shoots and kills a police officer who stops her in her van.
The terrorists take hostages at a high school, and one of the students, Lenny (Corey Haim), tries to save the day. Tanya's cohorts are killed one by one and she seems quite happy that she will be able to take more of the share of the money. When the leader of the terrorist group fondles the side of her breasts, she cackles manically. Finally, she decides to kill Lenny herself.
Tracked by the ruthless and brutal Tanya he has his job cut out for him to escape this especially "hard to kill" evil babe.
Lenny is able to lure her into a classroom, where he uses a fire extinguisher to shoot multiple caligraphy pens into her abdomen. Tanya falls to the floor impaled by the small pens, and the audience believes she is dead. However, she later is seen attacking Lenny again, this time with a fire axe. Before she can use the axe, she is shot through the back by a police sniper rifle, and slumps down upon Lenny. If this is not enough, the building explodes and burns up, and her body is destroyed.
Tanya is half mad, violent and brutal but she really believes in a better world (blinded by her love for the leader of the group) and she seems a very sweet young woman sometimes.
