Best Action Movie Actresses
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 career with Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Wanted, and Salt, and received critical acclaim for her performances in the dramas A Mighty Heart and Changeling, which earned her a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Her biggest commercial success came with the fantasy picture Maleficent. In the 2010s, Jolie expanded her career into directing, screenwriting, and producing, with the wartime dramas In the Land of Blood and Honey, Unbroken, and First They Killed My Father. Lara Croft came out in 2003, Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, that's almost 15 years ago. Get over it people. She isn't a " best action movie actress " anymore. Kate Beckinsale on the other hand is still doing action movies in her leather catsuits ( the 2017 underworld movie ). Time to adjust the ranks of this list!
She's the best and even Milla Jovocih thinks the same thing.
Milla Jovovich Quote
" From now on, I approach the cinema as a business woman. I intend to be in more action movies because, apart from Angelina Jolie, no other actress stands out in this genre. "
I don't think there is a cooler female action character than Lara Croft, and I don't think no one 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 will have to admit she is pretty sexy to boot.
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 more greater than all the rest. No one else compares to her fighting skills, my girl's 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 cause 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. Cause she's a kick ass woman who deserves her props, now vote her number one so she will be on top.
Milla has Jolie beat hands down. Maybe if Jolie did a zombie movie she could give Milla a run for her money. But as it stands, no comparision.
She is the best female action heroine ever. I hope she never stops making Resident Evil movies! No one can top her!
I loved the Resident Evil series and Milla fascinates me.
Her glance in some action scenes is unique.
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!
Definitely her! She rocked in Aliens.
