My Top 20 Female Movie Bad-Asses.

1018   7.9   8.5 

Pvt. Jenette Vasquez
Yeah, sure, Ripley can certainly handle a big gun & kick enough ass to help contribute to making this movie one of my favorite sci-fi flicks of all time. But Vasquez, when she carries a fire-arm, any fire-arm, no matter how big or small, she wields it as though it were a natural extension of who she is.
And when it comes to xenomorphs,
she just needs to know one thing:
Where
they
are......

and don't even think about mistaking her for a man
.... cabrón.

The Bride
"Here comes the Bride,
all dressed in white,
dum dee dee da dum,
here comes the Bride...."



You wanna know just how bad-ass Beatrice Kiddo, the Bride really is?
At her wedding, not only does she show up looking like she's late into her trimester of pregnancy, but also at the same time, she has enough balls to wear a wedding dress that is white, the traditional color that is supposed to symbolize virginancy.
So then, the question arises,
how does one stop such an act of blatant aborition towards such an long-standing & endeared nuptial tradition?
Try sending her a Bill.

Ching, Tung & Chat

A fighting style that combines epic wuxia-themed battle moves & cheesy yet energetically fun kung-fu camp, these are 3 high-flying colorful female warriors whose chemistry made it impossible for me not to fall in love with each one of them when I first saw this movie.
This trio of hot asian super-heroines who fight crime with such cool moves & kick-ass sultry outfits are so sexy, that it makes my pimp-ass want to do sumthin villainous just for the spanking.

Taarna
Yeah, I know....
she's a cartoon.....
But she definitely ain't no power puff girl.

Sarah Connor
Sometimes,
if you're one one of those rare individuals who's destined to become the leader of an international front of human resistance,
then you might find that the fate of the future may very well lay upon the hands of yo' momma.

Miho
Based on what this femme fatale does for a living,
if you're willing to pay the right price, she'll give you head.
But at the same time, if you're not careful,
she'll slice it off.
Your head, that is.

Nikita Taylor
C'est une francais bad-ass.

She's crazy, she's French & she's a hitman. What more can you ask for from a crazy female assassin flick made in France?

Ripley*

"Get away from her, you bitch!"



*This movie entry is supposed to be Aliens,
but this site won't allow me to list the same movie twice.

Selene
I'm not a big fan of the Underground movies,
but Selene in that leather outfit is hotter that all heck.
One of the few times that the most human of the characters makes me not notice the CGI effects that are supposed to drive these films.
Yowza....

River Tam

One of those rare AB Type personalities that can instantly switch from a B type to an A++ type, with just one flip of a mental trigger.
And it seems kinda unlikely that the trigger may come in the form of something like the phrase "Serenity now!".

Coffy

Okay, since this one is just way too obvious,
I'm gonna let you guys insert your own bad coffee pun* here.
But be careful how you word it.
Because if she points that gun at you,
she'll only be aiming for one spot: your percolator.



*( Example: I prefer my Coffy with two lumps......)

Trinity

A leather clad, dark spectacled, gun-toting, bad-ass beauty with computer enhanced fighting ability.
You are now entering the Matrix.

Maida
Anyone else remember this space-faring, ice-stealing, female bad-ass from this not-so-classical sci-fi 80's film-fare?
Anyone...?

Anyone....?




...Bueller...?

Yu Shu Lien

Kind, wise, patient, loving & beautiful.
And she knows how to wield a sword, a spear or any other kind of long-stemmed weapon.
A Crouching Tiger who will always get a rise out of my hidden dragon.

Eli

Sure,
"she" may come off as an angelic-faced, doe-eyed 12 year old sweetheart who likes to climb trees (or buildings) & who might even inspire you to find your own inner strength....
But if you mess with any of her friends,
she won't hesitate to completely rip your head off.
And then some.

Carolina

She may have been married to El Mariachi, but it wasn't for want of any kind of protection.
This scintillaly, sultry senorita could definitely hold her own. And his too.

Silk Spectre

A super heroine in a yellow & black leather costume that, super-powered or not, will cause any Watchman's penis to turn blue.

Cherry Darling

If you're into zombie apocalypeses, chicks with guns or amputees (& let's be honest.... who isn't?),
then this is the gal for you.

Wonder Woman



When I first decided to come up with this list, I was determined not to include any cartoon characters. However, I made an exception with Taarna because one: Heavy Metal might be animated, but it's theme is totally adult.
And two: Taarna is just so bad-ass, I couldn't not include her.
So now, here's Princess Diana.
While it may seem that she should be a staple in any list dealing with femme female ass-kickers,
IMO, she had never been fully depicted as a bad-ass at the level which she had the potential to be.
Then, I picked up this recent straight to DVD feature, & came to the conclusion, that even though it may not yet be at the point that I'd like to see her at, it is a huge step in the right direction.
The Double W may still be in the form of a cartoon,
but in this latest interpretation of the Amazonian wunder, she is finally approaching the bad-ass broad with balls that she should've always been.

Princess Leia
For all you fan-boy nerds out there, I intentionally saved this entry for last.
So, y'know.....
have at it.
