Top 10 Best Action Movie Actresses

The Top Ten
1 Angelina Jolie Angelina Jolie is an American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards. She has also been cited as Hollywood's highest-paid actress.

Jolie's starring role as the video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider established her as a leading Hollywood actress. She continued her successful action-star... read more

I love this woman. Maybe she had a bad-girl image before, but she's quite different now and I like how she proved that anybody can be bad and can do good things. Plus, she is truly badass in movies. Perfect. A stunning woman, gorgeous face, luscious appeal, can do everything in movies. Ahh! I'm so jealous!

I don't think there is a cooler female action character than Lara Croft, and I don't think anyone can ever find an actress to play Lara Croft better than Angelina Jolie did.

I looked no further than this actress. She definitely deserves this spot. She does or did most of her own stunts. And I have to admit she is pretty sexy to boot.

2 Milla Jovovich Milica Bogdanovna Jovovich, known professionally as Milla Jovovich, is an American actress, model and musician.

Milla Jo has a record for being the best. She's far greater than all the rest. No one else compares to her fighting skills. My girl is super bad, don't deny her strong will. Who else can kick ass in a humongous dress? While being a double agent, I must digress! She kicks zombie ass. Therefore, she can't be wrong because the RE films ROCK, so just go right along and vote her number 1 on this top 10 list! Otherwise, I'm afraid she might show you her fist. Because she's a kickass woman who deserves her props, now vote her number one so she will be on top.

Alice is kickass in the Resident Evil series! No one can beat her, and Ellen Ripley needs some lessons from Milla because that woman is ugly and doesn't kick that much ass AT ALL! She is a poor representation of what a female action heroine should be.

She is the best female action heroine ever. I hope she never stops making Resident Evil movies! No one can top her!

3 Sigourney Weaver Susan Alexandra "Sigourney" Weaver is an American actress and film producer. Following her film debut as a minor character in Annie Hall, she quickly came to prominence in 1979 with her first lead role as Ellen Ripley in Alien.

She does deserve the first slot. She shaped the way all other action heroines should be and was really the first badass female role.

Any chick that can take on Aliens pretty much on her own gets my vote. They move a lot faster than zombies.

No female actress is more badass than Ripley!

4 Kate Beckinsale Kathrin Romary "Kate" Beckinsale (born 26 July 1973) is a British actress. After some minor television roles, she made her film debut in Much Ado About Nothing (1993) while still a student at the University of Oxford. She then appeared in British costume dramas such as Prince of Jutland (1994), Cold Comfort Farm (1995), Emma (1996), and The Golden Bowl (2000), in addition to various stage and radio... read more

She is the most gorgeous, a talented actress, very convincing and utterly hot in her action performances. Definitely No. 1.

Damn! Kate looks way sexier than Angelina Jolie! That latex catsuit she's wearing in the Underworld series makes my mouth water!

She is fantastic! Action roles suit her more than anyone. She ROCKS in action movies.

5 Sandra Bullock Sandra Annette Bullock is an American actress and producer. She is one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses, and is an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winner.
6 Jennifer Connelly Jennifer Lynn Connelly is an American actress who began her career as a child model. She made her movie acting debut in the 1984 crime film Once Upon a Time in America. Connelly continued modeling and acting, starring in films such as the 1985 horror film Phenomena (her first leading role), the 1986 musical fantasy film Labyrinth (opposite David Bowie) and the 1991 films Career Opportunities and The Rocketeer. She gained critical acclaim for her work in the 1998 science fiction film Dark City and for her portrayal of Marion Silver in the 2000 drama Requiem for a Dream.
7 Jennifer Garner Jennifer Anne Garner is an American actress and film producer. She made her film debut in the comedy Dude, Where's My Car.

Alias, Daredevil, or Elektra?

Vote for her!

8 Linda Hamilton

Without her, Terminator would not be the same. She was the main character, even though people think it was Arnold.

9 Michelle Pfeiffer Michelle Marie Pfeiffer is an American actress and producer. One of the most popular actresses of the 1980s and 1990s, she has received international acclaim and many accolades for her work in both comedic and dramatic films.

15 Scarlett Johansson Scarlett Johansson (born November 22, 1984) is an American actress, model, and singer. She made her film debut in North.

Scarlett Johansson should deserve the No. 2 position after Milla Jovovich. Look at her movies (Avengers 1, Avengers 2, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Lucy, Ghost in the Shell). They are all just action. Be honest and please vote for Hollywood's number 1 successful actress, Scarlett Johansson.

I can never take her seriously in her action movies. She's like Sigourney Weaver's character in "Galaxy Quest," doing exaggerated action poses.

She's badass and sexy, but I prefer Sigourney.
