Moore has admitted that G.I. Jane’s failure took the wind out of her sails. “They weren’t going to let me win,” she told the New York Times in 2019. “That, to the little girl in me — that was crushing.” Afterward, she stopped acting as much, focusing on motherhood. (She and Willis got divorced in 2000.) Soon enough, she was a “woman of a certain age” and her stardom was on the wane. “They’d say they don’t really know what to do with you, where to place you,” she told the Times. “I was like, ‘Oh, well is that supposed to flatter me?’”Teaming up with Ridley Scott for G.I. Jane made a certain amount of sense. Between Alien and Thelma & Louise, he’d made female-fronted films and would seemingly be sympathetic to G.I. Jane’s feminist undertones. “I remember reading Thelma and the executives were saying, ‘Well, it’s two bitches in a car…’ And I said, ‘Actually, it’s a little bit more than that,’” Scott recalled in 2017. “Originally I was supposed to produce, and I offered it to four directors. One said, ‘I’ve got a problem with the women.’ And I said, ‘That’s the point, you dope! Clearly, you have big problems with women.’”

Even so, G.I. Jane was going to face considerable hurdles. For one thing, Moore would have to go through extensive training to get her body in SEAL-ready shape. Plus, there was the whole matter of the shaved head. In the 1990s, the only major celebrity to have a bald head was Sinéad O’Connor, and by the time of G.I. Jane, the brilliant musician was well on her way to being labeled “crazy” because of her defiant stance on, among other things, the Catholic Church. O’Connor’s shaved head seemed indicative of her radioactive reputation: Surely no “normal” woman would do something like that, right? A key component to the G.I. Jane costume is a plain white crop tank top. This top should fit snugly and be made of a breathable fabric, perfect for rigorous training and combat simulations. Lastly, carry an M16 and other big gun prop to complete the costume. These props should be inflatable and resemble real firearms, adding to the realism of the costume. So gear up, and let’s get started on this mission to pay homage to one of the toughest and most determined soldiers in cinematic history. Stand at the ready, soldier! Crop Top To be fair, G.I. Jane has been taken to task for its military inaccuracies. (Only last year did a woman, according to The New York Times, finally complete the “Navy special warfare training pipeline that directly supports the SEALs and other elite commando units.”) But whether it was sexism or a mediocre screenplay or the fact that a glamorous movie star was on the poster with a shaved head, G.I. Jane didn’t connect with audiences. Moore’s hope of flipping the script on her career narrative had failed. “ Striptease seemed to represent a betrayal to women and G.I. Jane was a betrayal to men,” she said in 2020. “With Striptease, I stepped into a role that was women’s fear, and G.I. Jane was as if it was a challenge to men. They let me know it, too.”
