Is it us or is there something strangely sexy about a girl who could also kick the living crap out of you?
Just us, then? OK, so before we work on our issues with women, let us explain. Sure, in real life, the idea of a huge, 600 stone woman with a black belt in judo is not exactly getting the collective collar hot right now.
But the idea that she can take care of herself and look smokin’ hot while doing it is very appealing. Especially, when we are talking about the movies.?In the movies, we can forgive all.
We like the idea of some ass-kicking babe in a cat-suit dealing out justice. Just as long as it’s not you on the receiving end of it.
Because, you know, your mates would give you a lot of grief for it and stuff.
For example, it is a scientific fact that Sigourney Weaver would be 88.9 per cent less attractive if she had not appeared in Aliens.
To be honest, we’re not even sure she belongs on the list but it would be rude not to.?Anyway, enjoy the photos and feel free to suggest some more.
POW!
18. Uma Thurman
Movie: Kill Bill (2003-2004)
Is it just us or does she get better and better with age?
17. Noomi Rapace
Movie: Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009)
OK, so she plays a computer hacker in the movie, but she can still handle herself and she has a big tattoo. OK, I just wanted to put her in the list.
16. Anne Parillaud
Movie:?Nikita?(1990)
Incredibly sexy French actress is given a license to thrill in?Nikita.
15. Leonor Varela
Movie: Blade 2 (2002)
In Blade 2, she is both nails and wants to suck you dry – bonus!!
14. Rose McGowan
Movie: Planet Terror (2007)
Rose McGowan still manages to look really hit with only one leg.
13. Charlize Theron
Movie: Aeon Flux (2005)
It really is a terrible film, but Theron looked amazing in it.
12. Linda Hamilton
Movies: Terminator and Terminator 2
Without that gun, she would not be anywhere near as hot.
11. Kristanna Loken
Movie: Terminator 3 (2003)
Loken almost made it worth going to see this film. Almost.
10. Sigourney Weaver
Movies:?Alien?series (1979-????)
Not to everyone’s tastes, but no list about bad-ass action babes would be complete without?Ripley.
9. Jennifer Garner
Movies: Daredevil (2003), Elektra (2005)
Jennifer Garner is always worth looking at, no matter how crap the movie.
8. Meiko Kaji
Movie: Lady Snowblood (1973) and loads more
She scares me stiff.
7. Ziyi Zhang
Movies: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Hero (2002)
Well, she certainly knows how to handle a weapon.
6. Carrie Fisher
Movies: Star Wars trilogy (1977-1983)
Ah, that gold bikini.
5. Michelle Rodriguez
Movies: S.W.A.T (2003), Resident Evil (2002), Avatar (2009)
Red hot latino that you really would not want to mess with.
4. Carrie-Anne Moss
Movies: The Matrix trilogy (1999-2003)
Another woman who only seems hot in one film.
3. Milla Jovovich
Movies: The Fifth Element, Resident Evil series
Everyone loves Milla time.
2. Kate Beckinsale
Movies: Underworld I and II (2003-2006)
Kate Beckinsale in a tight leather body suit, need we say any more?
1. Angelina Jolie
Movies: Tomb Raider?(2001-2003), Wanted (2008), Salt (2010)
The grey swim suit. That’s all that needs to be said.
Ana Lucia Cortez says
Michelle Rodriguez in her various characters is top for me. You need to also mention other characters picking up a fight with a bunch of men in Fast and the Furious and the angry cop in Lost (still can’t believe they killed the character so early in the series). Still she can look like a genuinely sweet girl. A sweet girl you really don’t want to upset.
Sigourney Weaver playing Ripley is probably still the highest benchmark though: such a good character that nobody has managed to top it, no matter how hard they try.
The difference between the two is maybe you feel you can have an argument with Ripley without fear of being executed.
Milla is good but not badass enough.
Jolie is just annoying.
Tom J says
What about that Brazilian girl in Predators who was supposed to be a member of the IDF because, I dunno, I guess there are no attractive girls in Israel? Or maybe they had a real Israeli girl but she insisted on indiscriminately using cluster bombs and white phosphorus against the preds and any poor sod who was unlucky enough to get in the way? I reckon that’s it.
T-Cake says
Kate Beckinsale can make nonsensical werewolf / vampire / hybrid monster films that are almost as comical as the Blade series for the next decade. As long as she keeps the outfit, she’s golden.
stella says
Most these girls are clearly androgynous (Linda Hamilton’s body is that of an underdeveloped teenager). But I guess certain men and women like such “babes”.
Tom J says
Translation: “I am fat”.
T-Cake says
Zing.
stella says
…and you’re something like Justin Bieber. BTW, Kate Beckinsale is feminine and pretty, you see it has nothing to do with being fleshy or slim (lots of fat ladies look like guys and vice versa, you should know better than anyone).
seriously? says
Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow, Iron Man 2.
Jose says
Some people here have very low standards to call butch lesbian Michelle Rodriguez ‘sexy’. Ewww! I guess nerds that don’t see women much consider all women hot.
Jose says
Very true, wtf, who comes up with this list?
Yodamite says
None of these women can kick ass. They are actresses.
Jessica says
Of course Angelina Jolie is #1
Fatteh Al Fatteh says
Yeah um. Trying to think of females I ran into in my military career that could smoke the PT test. Yeah. They were all built like your “underdeveloped teenagers”. Overweight people simply don’t have the cardio. Get over it.

Darin Weed says
I am curious as to how Scarlett Johansson from Iron Man 2 and Keira Knightley from Domino didnt make this list.. much hotter than half of these ladies..
Pete says
Michelle Rodriguez is the WORST. She almost ruined Lost for me, kept me from enjoying Avatar, and made Battle in Seattle come of amateurish. All she has is the “I’m a bad ass chick” face. Without that, she’d just be another out of work actress.
PrankMeister says
How about Halley Berry as Catwoman (2004)…? Halley could kick my ** any time she pleases to…
wphayduke says
Yea, re Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, but never forget the ever lovely and buff Jessica Biel in the third Blade movie (forgettable, ‘cept for that).
Josh Reiter says
I don’t think most guys really think any of these women can bet them up in a fight; at least not me, 250 lbs and 6’4″. 90% of them I’d toy with till I crush their larynx if they really threatened my physically. Not to say I haven’t run across women that I’d feel physically threatened by. Believe me, there are are some amazonians that can lay down the law if they so choose. But of all these women the only one I feel threatened by is
Charlize Theron cause well, it’s Charlize, puddle of goo’s don’t put up much of a fight.
stella says
Spot on!

Are you sure they were females? ‘Cos guys like you can’t tell the difference.stella

Not that you have a wide choice in the military anyway.
Cookie Monster says
Especially the left half. Ta-dum!
Ah,, you’re splitting hairs. Wait, best-of list, yes, okay. Scarlett doesn’t need to be an action star, because she features in many a man’s mental action movie. Keira? Hmmm. Domino was an amusing movie, but on the ‘sexy’ scale, meh, because it needs to be an “okay” movie. Hair is split.
Now, House of Wax…
MarcusMN says
She is way to skinny and bony to play an action hero. Skeletor, maybe, but not Lara Croft. Lara should be fit and strong.

tfgrrl says
Michelle Rodriguez got her break in a lil film called Girlfight in which she does a good deal more than just look snarly.
How about stuntwoman Zo
