Top 10 Best Action Movie Actresses
Explosions. Chase scenes. Mid-air flips off speeding motorcycles. And somewhere in the chaos, there's a woman reloading her weapon without blinking. You know exactly who she is. She's the reason the villain's plan falls apart. She's the one walking away from the wreckage in slow motion like it's just another Tuesday. These aren't your standard damsels or background extras. These are the actresses who don't just survive the action genre. They own it.Some of them mastered martial arts. Others pulled off stunts that insurance companies probably still have nightmares about. A few made you believe they could rip a man's spine out with one hand and still look cool doing it. But they all did one thing better than anyone else. They made you believe no one else could've played that role.
Now it's your turn to decide who belongs on top. Vote for the actresses who owned the screen, stole the show, and made you wish you had nunchucks in your glove compartment.

Perfect. A stunning woman, gorgeous face, luscious appeal, she can do everything in movies. Ahh! I'm so jealous!
I don't think there is a cooler female action character than Lara Croft. 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.
Milica Bogdanovna Jovovich, known professionally as Milla Jovovich, is an American actress, model and musician. Milla Jovovich 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 one 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.
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.

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!
