That red leather suit is simultaneously ridiculous and weirdly iconic.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The theatrical cut bombed so hard that a 'Director's Cut' with 30 extra minutes—including a whole subplot with Coolio—was released to home video and is actually considered superior.
This film directly led to Jennifer Garner's Elektra spinoff, which became a cautionary tale that killed female-led superhero movies for a decade until Wonder Woman.
