14 Badass Chicks
 7.4 As: Faith Lehane in "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".
As: Rubi in the video game "Wet". As: Echo in "Dollhouse". I'm an Eliza fanboy. What can I say? She plays awesome badass, and looks sexy doing so. I'm playing Wet at the moment, and she fits the voice so perfectly. Rubi is one of the most badass characters in the history of video games. 'Nuff said. 
7 As: Cherry Darling in "Planet Terror".
She has a gun for her leg. A GUN for her LEG! One of the most unforgettable and most badass idea in film, and Rose does a great job of rocking it. 
6.7 As: Alabama in "True Romance".
As: Kristen in "Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" As: Alison DuBois in "Medium". I'll admit, I've only seen a few episodes of Medium, but I'd be axed if I had her in this list without mentioning it. She's adorable in both movies mentioned, and also turns out to be a convincing badass. 
7.3 As: River Tam in Firefly".
"Aww look, she's a helpless confused teenage girl - oh WAIT! DAMN THIS GIRL GOT SKILLS!" Something along those lines describes her awesomeness in Firefly. Have yet to see the Sarah Connor Chronicles, but I heard she's badass in that too. 
6.9 As: Carrie White in "Carrie".
Weird girl gets revenge by killing all her classmates. Perhaps there's a line between badass, and maniac killer, but I'm not all that aware of it. Sissy as Carrie deserves a place in my list. 
6.6 As Sarah Connor in "T2".
Such a vast change in her character compared to the first Terminator. But it's a welcome one. Sarah is bad to the bone in T2. 
8.1 As: Mathilda in "Leon: The Professional".
As: Evey in "V For Vendetta". Two of my favorite movies. Two amazing characters. Natalie is stunning as both Mathilda and Evey. Gorgeous and tough. 
7.4 As: Alice in the "Resident Evil" Quadrilogy.
Bit of a Milla fanboy too, it must be said. The Resident Evil movies are a guilty pleasure for me, and I probably wouldn't even be bothered with them if Milla wasn't in them. There's just something about her. Always manages to look good killing zombies, and for that she deserves her place. 
6.7 As: Mallory Knox in "Natural Born Killers".
One of my favorite movies ever. It may be hard to explain the attraction to Mallory. She is afterall, a pychopathic mass murderer. But watch the movie and you'll understand. She often steals the show, and god damnit she makes it all look so fun. 
6.8 As: Gail in "Sin City".
As: Abernathy Ross in "Death Proof". A big shout out goes to all the other ladies in Death Proof too, but Rosario gets the nod for being in Sin City too. 
7.6 As: Nancy Botwin in "Weeds".
Middle aged Mother sells weed in her neighbourhood and gets up to all sorts of ilegal activities. Mary Louise Parker owns the role, and no one could ever play it like she does. I'm only on Season 3 of the show, but it appears she's getting more and more badass each season. Not to mention hotter... 
7.2 As: Beatrix Kiddo in "Kill Bill".
No such list would be complete without her. She slices and dices her way through just about anyone who gets in her way on her quest for epic revenge. See her fight VS. The Crazy 88 at the end of Volume 1 for confirmation of her awesomeness. 
7.2 As: Ellen Ripley in the "Alien" Quadrilogy.
Everyone who's seen The Alien films will agree with this addition. So many epic quotes, so many memorable moments. An unforgettable badass chick. 
6.7 As: Buffy Summers in "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".
Buffy is probably my #2 favorite show ever. At times, the character of Buffy herself can be annoying, but there's no denying her badass status. I wonder if any super Buffy nerds out there can tell me exactly how many vamps this chick has slayed? Because it's a damn lot. Amazingly tough, amazingly sexy. |

I recommend Mindy "Hit-Girl" McCready on this list, despite the fact she's only eleven or twelve.
Other ideas-
Zoe from "Firefly"
Lisabeth Salander from the first two 'Millenium' movies (haven't seen the 3rd)
Eli/Abby from "Let the Right One In" & "Let Me In" (Though in the swedish original she is revealed to be a castrated male.)
And I don't recall where she's revealed to be a castrated male in the Sweedish version?
I must keep an eye out for that moment next time.
