Lucy should be a made in Heaven thespian for The Work Horse and Steve because not only is she a very attractive woman but in action films she can kick a** as hard as Jason Statham or Bruce Willis.
The last movie in which I saw her was Mel Gibson’s Payback where if I remember correctly she was paid by guys to tie them up and get stuck into them with a whip! If The Thin Woman had been able to entertain us like THAT she might have been able to sell more tickets. I have also seen Lucy in Jerry Maguire and True Crime and have watched one of her Kung Fu Panda movies – probably the first one.
Clearly she is a multi-medium professional as on top of her film career Wikipedia details her involvement with:
1/45 television productions between 1991 and the present. I have never seen nor have I ever been interested in seeing Ally McBeal.
2/3 Video Games
3/7 directorial credits one short film and the rest TV presentations
4/10 Art exhibitions.
Who knew Lucy Liu would provide a fairly long list. Lucy is # 776 on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon Top 1000. These are the other actors on the list she appeared with.

Hey Dan…as always…thanks for providing this information. She has been a very busy actress over the last 25 years…so her spot on the Oracle list does not surprise me too much. Looking at the massive first list….looks like her Kung Fu Pand castmates tie with 3 movies with her. Seeing Jackie Chan’s name on the list, reminds me that he does not have an UMR page. 22 Oscar winning co-stars is a little below average. As always, good stuff.
I’ve seen 16 of the 43 films on the chart. Favorites are – Kung Fu Panda 1-2-3, Kill Bill 1-2, Charlie’s Angels 1-2, Chicago, Shanghai Noon, Jerry Maguire and Payback.
I have Rise: Blood Hunter on blu-ray but I can’t remember it.
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve….thanks for checking out our Lucy Liu page. Tally count…18 for me and 16 for you. I have seen all of your favorites. I liked your last three the most…Shanghai Noon, Jerry Maguire and Payback. Ever seen Lucky Number Slevin? That is my other favortie Lucy movie. Good stuff as always.
Really good UMR page
Thank you Mike.
I have seen 18 Lucy Liu Movies.
