Greatest Female Action Movie Heroes So Far

GamersFeature: There have been plenty of inspiring, awesome and just plain badass female movie characters over the years. The only solid requirement for inclusion for this list is that the character must confront something dangerous, which means we’re bending the term action hero a bit. But who are we to deny some of the best cinematic women of action inclusion here because of a technicality like that.

Does Ripley count? Not sure about that.
I know Aliens was an action movie but...
Im torn. I'd hesitate to say 100% shes an action heroine.
Maybe its just me.

Ellen Ripley is one of, if not the greatest female action hero of all time.

The American Film Institute has Ripley at number 8 in AFI's 100 Years. 100 Heroes and Villains. http://www.afi.com/100Years...

i know, a list like that and no Ripley?
she should be number one yet they leave her off the list completely, blasphemy.

and does Ripley count?

she went into an alien nest armed with a pulse rifle and a flamethrower taped together and came out alive, then fought the queen in a power loader mech.
then finished it off without the loader.

so hell yeah she counts. ^_^

Or when she drives an APC into the middle of the aliens den and saves the surviving marines.

Sarah Connor FTW and Uma Thurman aka The Bride in Kill Bill 1&2... I would pick Ripley as well but she went downhill after Aliens 3&4 they were just dismal. Here's another honorable mention Carrie-Ann Moss aka Trinity in the Matrix.

But they include Lucy. Lucy? She uses 100% of her brain like the rest of us, whoooopideee dooo!

Apparently (I haven't seen it) she starts the movie at like 10% brain function, which is severely, severely handicapped...as in, on life support.

Then, apparently something is done (like along the lines of Flowers for Algernon(the movie Charly)) and she regains some skill but then gets super powers? Not sure how, kind of weird as there is no explanation other than she suddenly has telekinetic powers for no reason.

"she starts the movie at like 10% brain function"

Well she was blonde...

On topic: Lucy and Black Widow made the cut but Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor didn't?? Black Widow had ONE kinda cool scene in Iron Man 2. THAT'S IT! Also Katniss Everdeen as #1? :/

Without Ellen Ripley and Sarah Conner, this list doesn't count.
