  • Favorite Female Led Action Film

    I ask this after spotting LE FEMME NIKITA in another thread.

    We've had some dogs in this category in recent years. Which one is your all-time?

    The Terminator, if that counts.

    If not, Aliens.

        I suspect ALIENS will be seconded and thirded and... so I'm goin against the grain.

        COFFY with Pam Grier
        and STONER with Angela Mao (hey, why not).

        What's funny is that kung fu flicks and blax/sexploitation flicks were the only ones to really feature women in beefy action roles.

        Gotta love the 70s.

            I wouldn't really call them action films but both are unforgettable and had real muscle:

            Jodie Foster in Contact.

            Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon in Thelma & Louise.

              The Long Kiss Goodnight & Kill Bill

              those were the last movies that convinced me a female could actually whip the hell out of dudes.....and ALIAS (i know it's a show but Garner kicked butt).

                Does Kate Beckinsale in Underworld count?

                  I think I forgot KILL BILL because I felt QT (say what you will about him) was more the star than anyone/thing else.

                        Don't remember any sexy leg kicks in that one.

                            Gina Davis in "The Long Kiss Goodnight" and Uma Thurman in "Kill Bill Volume I & II" by FAR are the best, best, best, female lead action roles to date.

                            Ripley, ha! plain amateur when it comes to these two movies.

                              I know she wasn't the lead, but Sarah Connor kicked major ass in T2.
