She meets a total of 3 guys. There is never more than one on the screen. It is fine if they wear masks, but the last confrontation probably works best if he doesn’t. They all apparently recognize her and know they will have to fight her.
The attacks should appear to be powerful, the guys not holding anything back. It is fine to just hint at an attack. There don’t have to be overly complicated special effects for the gun for example. Just the guy pointing it at her and some shooting sounds as he pulls the trigger will do. A guy might approach Lora and raises his leg for a kick and we cut to Loras amused face as we hear the kick connecting and see her body slightly shaking. This is better then showing too many half-hearted strikes (I believe kicks in particular are hard to get right). She is at the receiving end of some savage attacks, even if nothing manages to hurt her.
Lora is not a robot, so the attacks hitting her shouldn’t sound metallic. Going a little bit over the top with the effects is fine, especially with the last guy. The screen should also be shaking from every single hit after he is powered up for example. Make it obvious how powerful those attacks are. Most of them hitting her stomach and head is fine, but generally mixing in some variety for the fights would be great. Examples would be someone trying to break her arm, going for a low blow or attempting to choke her. Overall the guys are putting in quite a bit of effort to take her down and don’t spend much time just standing around for example.
There is a contrast between the calm and amused Lora and her desperate and savage attackers. It might be fun if especially the last guy overacts a little bit in that regard, it is not a super serious clip. Scene 4 is a bit of a misdirection, where the viewer might think her confidence/arrogance is her downfall, but it turns out she is perfectly right to think her opponent can’t beat her no matter what.
Scene 1:
Lora enters a room and approaches a criminal, who immediately attacks her. After he has exhausted himself she simply ask “Is that all you got?”. He doesn’t answer, so she grabs him by the throat or collar, effortlessly lifting him with a single hand. After holding him up for a few seconds she throws him away and the screen turns black as he hits the floor.Scene 2:
Similar to the first scene, but this time the thug is armed with a bat, knife or something similar. He is still unable to hurt her and when he realizes this and stops his attacks she asks “Is that all you got?”. He tries to run away, but she manages to grab him, effortlessly throws him to the ground and the screen turns black again as the kicks him in the gut.Scene 3:
Lora is slowly approaching another criminal, who is terrified by her, pointing a gun in her direction. She doesn’t slow down, so he shoots a couple of times without any visible result. He backs up but eventually finds himself in a corner. As Lora gets very close he tries to push her away, but this doesn’t affect her either. “Is that all you got?”He laments that he was so close to finishing his power elixier. Lora looks at him and he explains that it would have allowed him to become completely unstoppable and he just needed a little more time. Lora smirks very cocky and steps away. “Go finish it.”
He scurries away and the screen fades to black to indicate passage of time.Scene 4:
We see Lora standing in the same room, looking out of a window. The guy from scene 3 enters again, holding a vial. “Go ahead, drink it.” she confidently tells him. He does and flexes as he begins feeling vastly more powerful and approaches Lora. She smiles and opens her arms to offer him free hits as usual. He prepares a powerful punch and as it connects with Loras stomach she actually yelps in surprise as the attack is far stronger then she expected it to be. She is slightly hunched over and her hair covers most of her face as the starts attacking her stomach with powerful blows. After a couple hits he steps back, expecting her to fall down in defeat. Instead she gets the hair out of her face and just smugly asks “Is that all you got?”, revealing she just teased him.Enraged he starts attacking again, now not just limited to her stomach. To his horror she just takes it all, no matter how hard he tries. Eventually he stops, hardly able to catch his breath. “Is that all you got?” she asks again. As he doesn’t really react she backhands him in the face and the screen turns black as it connects.
