Lucy Liu in ‘Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever‘

Lucy Liu stars as Sever in Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, one of the most awkwardly-named movies in the history of cinema. The 2002 thriller starred Liu as Sever and Antonio Banderas as Ecks; they were two enemy secret agents who teamed up to fight an even badder bad guy. The film did badly at the box office, perhaps because "Ecks" and "Sever" are two last names that don‘t really exist in the real world. Also, they team up in the movie, so "versus" isn‘t exactly correct. Lucy Liu was born in 1968, so she turned 34 the year this photo was taken.
