Portrayed by the super-talented Gabrielle Anwar, Fiona's got a resume and skill set that would make 007 jealous. A former provisional IRA operative, she's an illegal arms dealer, an unlicensed bounty hunter and explosives expert. She shoots first, asks questions later and isn't afraid to blow down the doors with her homemade goodies.
A brilliant strategist, she also handles herself quite nicely in hand to hand and can pick locks better than most highly skilled thieves. She's a looker too, using her sexiness as yet another weapon and can sometimes be found ramming one of her expensive high heels down the throat of an uncooperative contact.
The Lowdown on Fi...
Her weapons of choice are a stainless steel Walther PPK 7.65mm, a two-tone Heckler & Koch USP 9mm Para and her Colt .45 ACP M1911, but she also uses various shotguns. Her other favorite is a block of C-4. It's versatile and you can carry it in a small handbag for those unexpected situations.
She has soft spot for kids and will incinerate the bones of child abusers.
She absolutely hates being told what to do, which is why she is no longer with the IRA.
She loves guns, clothes explosives and shoes in equal measure.
Bomb making is foreplay.
Favorite Fiona Quotes:
"In my experience, if something seems too good, best to shoot it just in case."
"Use a golf club next time. Greater force to a smaller area."
"Nothing turns a woman on so much as when something goes boom."
"Of course the tactical support I'm giving will cost you. I need new shoes."
"I'm better at buying guns than I am buying shoes and I'm really good at buying shoes."
"I'll behave...Maybe."
Here is a look at Fiona in action. Love the work that Chrissy and Toddy aka fartarse83 did here. This is the perfect song for Fiona, My Chick Bad by Ludacriss and Nicki Minaj
Burn Notice is one of my favorite shows! Awesome. And while Fiona is hot, I have to admit, I started watching the show because of Bruce Campbell. He's a riot!
ReplyDelete@Alex I started watching because of Bruce, too. I love, love him and the three of them on here have such great chemistry. This is one of my most favorite show on TV.
ReplyDeleteWow - hat trick! Three for three who came for Bruce, stayed for terrific show! I love Burn Notice - it is one of the rare TV children to my absolute fave of all time Mission Impossible - not an exact remake, but echoes of putting together schemes and cons to get the goods on the baddies. Fi is a hell of a character; not exactly what I look for visually in a woman but undeniable sexy nonetheless. She's whip smart, funny as all get out, and lethal when needed. I am incredibly fond of her. The actress who plays her - Gabrielle Anwar first caught my eye dancing a tango with Mr. Ooh Aah himself, Al Pacino (thanks for that nickname Matty) in Scent of a Woman. She worked here in my hometown on a small independent thriller called The Grave. I didn't work on it - I was doing something else - but my friends handled the makeup and makeup effects on the movie and they adored her, so she must be pretty good people. Great post Melissa!
ReplyDeleteNot so familiar with this bitch :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe because I'm not an avid TV series watcher.
Good show, and any chick who can blow things up like Fiona is ok by me :)
ReplyDeletecute badass
ReplyDelete@Craig LOL We are three for three here. Yep, Bruce brought me, but Fi, Michael and the great writing kept me. I grew up watching old re-runs of Mission: Impossible and loved that show. Nothing like cool schemes to take down the baddies, especially when you don't have to operate like the cops.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out The Grave. Scent of a Woman is where I first saw Gabrielle, as well. That is too cool you get to work on film and you know people in the industry. That's great to hear your friends loved Gabby. I love it when my faves are good people to work with.
@Jaccstev LOL That's okay, I hope you enjoyed the post anyway and if you ever get a chance to check this show out o line, do it. I think you'd enjoy the dialogue and stories.
ReplyDelete@Siv We are of a like mind here. Fi is awesome and I just cannot get enough of this show.
@Moobeat Hi! Yep, Fi is adorable, especially when she's wiring something to explode. LOL
I used to love that show. Is it still one? Fiona delivered some great one liners. Where do you start? Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane!
ReplyDeleteshe is quite lovely in BURN NOTICE. I also love Donovan guy who plays the lead role, and Anwar was also interesting in THE TUDORS, where in the first season she played the royal princess, Henry's sister who got married to Spanish king.
ReplyDeleteI've never watched the Burn Notice (you may scold me if you like). but I was never aware of the extreme badassness of Fiona. What an interesting woman, with depth, vigor, and skill. I have to check out.
ReplyDelete"In my experience, if something seems too good, best to shoot it just in case." LOL. Great post!
@Stephen You're welcome! Burn Notice is most definitely still on. New season starts on June 23. You are so right, Fi's one-liners are spectacular.
ReplyDelete@Dez Oh yes, Gabrielle was amazing in The Tudors. I adored that show. I love Jeffrey Donovan, as well. He is so dashing.
@Matt Go watch Burn Notice ASAP. You'll love the writing as the schemes and characters are just awesome. And you will love Fi, one of the finest women on television and not just in looks.
Glad you enjoyed my little tribute post here.
I still haven't seen Burn Notice, which is a shame because it looks like something I'd enjoy. But I fully approve of this segment and now I might have to check out some Fiona love. Can't have enough badass bitches on the screen!
ReplyDeleteShe does look like one hot, scary bitch. This was a fun post.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa.
xoRobyn
@M You will love Fi, I guarantee it. She kicks ass and I love that the guys go to her for weapons advice.
ReplyDelete@Robyn Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my little Fiona love fest. She is awesome. I love that we have a character like her to watch on TV.
I can't wait for the new season of Burn Notice to start. I heart Fiona. I love that you included her quote about shooting something too good to be true just in case. That's probably my favorite Fiona quote.
ReplyDelete@M.J. Isn't Fi the best? Shooting something too good to be true is one hellagood line. Counting the days til the premiere...:)
ReplyDeletegoos show
ReplyDeleteShe is one awesome character, I agree - really enjoy her on the show.
ReplyDelete@Timmy Hi! Thanks for the comment. It's awesome to have another Fi fan here.
ReplyDeleteI just love this show. This is the one show my husband and I watch together.
ReplyDelete@MSMariah Hi! Isn't this show completely addicting? Even my brother, who can't stand most shows watches this regularly. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteLove Fiona her blowing up Larry in mid season finale and helping Michael escape from max's murder scene was kick ass awesome!
