Women's Intuition
Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Freshfaced academy trainee Clarice Starling is drafted in to help catch a demented serial killer by giving another killer a reason to lick his lips.
Eagle-eared viewers will note that Lecter actually gives away Buffalo Bill’s identity during their first meeting, the fact that Starling misses it does little for her sleuth credentials, though she gets her man in the end.

Out-reasoned by…
Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) Fargo (1996)
Up the duff, freezing her tits off and in no mood to be messed around, Marge is a single-minded bloodhound you certainly wouldn’t want sniffing around your dirty laundry.
With deduction skills that would give Sherlock Holmes a run for his onions, she makes the modern obsession with forensics seem like child’s computer-room play.

How about the Asian stand off? In one corner, Tequilla, has the ability to jump through the air and fire guns, carry multiple babies in a shoot-out but can't help but fall in love with the "bad-guy." out-done by Det. Jojima from Takeshi Miike's Dead or Alive, not only does he track down yakuza and triads, he seems unfazed by all the weird s**t miike sends his way (which is saying something)...plus he never loves the bad-guy, infact he blows him up (along with japan) with a bionic arm!
