I have not seen or heard of the movie. But Kristen Kreuk is really cool. She would be great in any role.
Who is your favorite kick-butt female from a film? Electra !! She rocks!
I'm going to have to go with Angelina Jolie on this one! She's been a kick-butt female in more than one movie and she's the bomb!
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is the first film that comes to mind!
Sandra Bullock...
I agree with Bridget - definitely Angelina Jolie!
Runner up would be Uma Thurman in Kill Bill
Who is your favorite kick-butt female from a film?
I have to pick two~ lol =)
Lucy Lu and Uma Therman
Angelina Jolie = Tomb Raider OMG!!! I wanna be here when I get young again!!
oh yeah I love the tomb raider movies...she rocks in those!!
Sigourney Weaver
Angelina Jolie - Mrs Smith and Lara Croft - she did them both well
i would have to say that kick-butt female from a film would have to be kerry ann moss in matrix. she did it all in that film. i felt she was superb in it.
Mary Poppins!
Played by Julie Andrews.
Hands down.
Hey, I wish I had thought of her. But I thought of a good one--Samantha Stevens from "Bewitched."
Who is your favorite kick-butt female from a film?
Angelina Jolie, definitely.
The Lara Croft movies, Mr & Mrs Smith, Gone in 60 Seconds... this list could get very long. I've loved her in everything I've seen that she's done.
Angelina Jolie I think she kicks butt in her movies.
It would be a tough choice between Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider and Jennifer Garner as Elektra.
see....great minds think alike!!
Looks like Angelina Jolie is kicking butt on this thread too! LOL!
Jennifer Lopez in "Enough". My first husband was abusive and I wish I had her lawyer!
Samantha Stevens (from "Bewitched"), who I started watching when the show wasn't repeats. Sorry, but she's about as "kick butt" as I can stand.
Milla Jovovich Resident Evil: Apocalypse and there is talk of a future Resident Evil 4.
Thats one of my favs too.
i can't remember her name, but she played the mother in one of jackie chan's early movies. she could stand on one leg and kick someone in the face over her back and shoulder without hardly moving.
That was probably Michelle Yoh. She's the only female martial artists Jackie Chan has any respect for.
Milla Jovovich
"The Fifth Element" - "Ultraviolet" - "Resident Evil" (and its two, about to be three, sequels) - "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc"
Jolie, Uma Thurman and Bridget Regan are all good, but Milla has got to be the best; Hands Down !!
Well, IMHO.
i would have to say angelina jolie is awesome and she did some wonderful scenes in tomb raider i loved both films
Milla Jovovich. Loved her in Ultraviolet, and earlier stuff, but loved the hair... obviously.
Who is your favorite kick-butt female from a film? Angelina Jolie especially in the movie Wanted , tomb raider Or Mr and Mrs Smith - Mila Jovovich in any of the resident evil movies -and Uma Thurman in the Kill bill movies . sorry I could not just pick one but I would watch a Angelina Jolie move before any other movie if it was a action movie I dont think she does as well in dramas :)
I forgot about Wanted, yes she was awesome in "Wanted" much better than Mr. and Mrs. Smith
It has to be Angelina Jolie, I really like her and I loved her in Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I would have to go with Carrie fisher, yes, an oldie but a goodie, Princess Leia. She kicked Jabba the Hut's butt and killed him for having her on chains and that sleeky two piece!
Tank Girl! (Lori Petty) Kick your butt and laugh about it. Plus had a mutant kangaroo guy boyfriend. Total punk action!
I must go with Angelina Jolie too, her film Tomb Raider was an awesome kick butt movie!
Linda Hamilton in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"
I have a few that I really like. Michelle Yeoh stands out for me. She really kicks butt! She has amazing moves that I could only dream of doing (and DO dream of being able to do). She is always able to beat up the guys!
She has been in (recent) movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Tomorrow Never Dies. She has been around for a while and I kind of see her as the mother of all butt-kicking!!
I always pictured Ziyi Zhang as being one of the characters if there was ever a Tekken Movie. And there is an actor that can do capoeira that looks just like Eddie from Tekken. I think it's so cool to see the video games we grew up with turning into some fun action movies!
RACHEL WEISZ in The Mummy, so cool!
What? No one mentioned Pamela Anderson in "Barb Wire"? ....LMAO!
Kyra Sedgewick, she has played many tough girl parts but one of my favorites is from the movie, "Something to Talk About." She was a good sister while being tough. It's a great movie.
UMA THURMAN AS THE BRIDE in Kill Bill~ =D cuz she looks like me and I'm shallow AND I have a big sword =D SHAZAMM! =D
Linda Hamilton from the Terminator Series and also i like the actress in the Resident Evil movies, she definately kicks butt!
Who is your favorite kick-butt female from a film?
Jody Foster has always been my favorite. Mainly in 3 movies: The Little Girl who Lived Down the Lane (she was actually only 13 in the movie, but that was the beginning of Foster kicking butt...she got rid of the molestor stalking her), Brave One (she got revenge on those who killed her fiance and harmed her), and of course Silence of the Lamb (getting the serial killer and face to face with Hannibal)
Moon Bloodgood in "Terminator: Salvation"
I like the girl in Hard Candy - how she gets the pedophile to take her home - slips him a rufie then proceeds to beat the crap out of him for liking little girls while trying to find out if he killed her friend or not. She kicked ass!!!
I'd have to say Kate Beckinsale in "Underworld" followed by Angelina Jolie in the "Tomb Raider" movies.
my favorites would include Kate Beckinsale from the Underworld films, Milla Jovovich, Carrie Fisher and Sigourney Weaver from Alien. Weaver's role was originally written to be a man!
I would have to say Linda Hamilton, there has been alot of good ones.
Milla Jovenich (from the Resident Evil movies.) She is amazing!
Carrie Anne Moss as Trinity in the Matrix. She was just too cool... definitely did her share of butt-kicking! The motorcycle chase in one of the sequels was particularly great to watch.
That would have to be Uma Thurman in Kill Bill!
She was one awesome chick. She fought a whole army of Chinese guys. She got some cuts and bruises but, she survived.
Heck, she took a severe beating in the beginning, was shot and left for dead. But, she survived.
And, through three films she got revenge on those who wronged her.
Ending with Bill her abusive husband.
I was cheering for her the whole time!
Demi Moore in GI Jane
Hate to be a copycat but I loved Angelina Jolie in Mr and Mrs. Smith and also the Tomb Raider movies. She could kick butt and look good at the same time.
Queen Victoria. She merely said, "We are not amused" and men fell shaking to their knees. Now... that is one kick-butt female.
I would say Sandra Oh in "Sideways." She was a motorcyle riding somalier who kicked butt when she found out her new love interest had led her on and was about to marry someone else.
Sigourney Weaver in Alien and Rose O'Donnell on the View.
Carrie-Anne Moss - trinity from the matrix - she trained sooo hard 4 that role, her injuries would have prolly kept some people from continuing on.
Angelina Jolie
Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. Aka - Angelina Jolie. She's just... above reality! Superhuman! And, she can be alluring, serious, dangerous, smart, ... So skilled in life!
Uma Thurman in Kill Bill 1 & 2
I would have to go with Angelina Jolie, most of her action flics are kick butt. Tome Raiders, Wanted, Gone in sixty Seconds, Mr and Mrs. Smith. she kicked butt in them all
Kill Bill w/ Uma Thurman is my all time favorite!!
Hmm, so many great picks have already been mentioned.
I love all the ones mentioned, but here is another one for you, Kate Beckinsale as Selene in Underworld.
Bette Davis in almost any film...kept it real without any of the super girl crap...Bette could put a world of hurt on anyone...without lifting a finger.
...without lifting a finger:
“I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.”
“I'd luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.”
“I survived because I was tougher than anybody else”
“I'm the nicest goddamn dame that ever lived.”
“She is the original good time that was had by all.”
“Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world”
“When a man gives his opinion he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion she's a bitch.”
"Don't get up. And please stop acting as if I were the queen mother!"
"My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose."
“The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?”
"Why am I so good at playing bitches? I think it's because I'm not a bitch. Maybe that's why Miss Crawford always plays ladies."
"I wanted to be the first to win three Oscars, but Miss Hepburn has done it. Actually it hasn't been done. Miss Hepburn only won half an Oscar. If they'd given me half an Oscar I would have thrown it back in their faces. You see, I'm an Aries. I never lose."
"In this business, until you're known as a monster you're not a star."
"I've no time for broads who want to rule the world alone. Without men, who'd do up the zipper on the back of your dress?"
"Technicolor makes me look like death warmed over."
"I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box."
"With the newspaper strike on, I wouldn't consider dying."
Yep, for me, Bette Davis was the original and never equaled...badass, kick-butt female...and without tight outfits and stand-in stunt women...like Robert Mitchum...she was just bad.
And, I love her for it.
My favorite kick-butt female from a film has to be Geena Davis as Samantha Caine / Charli Baltimore in the Long Kiss Goodnight. A seemingly normal suburban mom on the outside but really a deadly assasin, kinda like how I view myself, lol.
Though not a teminator fan, I was captivated by Terminator 3-Rise of the Machines and KRISTANNA LOKEN-she was smokin' in that movie!
Uma Thurman - Kill Bill
I would have to say Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind, she never let a Civil War get in the way of what she wanted!
I would have to say Angelina!
she is my favorite!
Pam Grier In Coffy now she kicked butt
Faye Dunaway from Bonnie and Clyde and Milla Jovovich from Resident Evil.
Carrie-Anne Moss in "The Matrix Reloaded". She joined Keanu Reeves in a tremendous performance. Truely, a "kick ass" performance in a "kick ass" movie!
I'm going to have to say Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie in "Wanted". That movie ROCKED! She was great as Lara Croft too.
I always loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Xena Warrior Princess. Those are my two favorite kick-butt female characters from a series. Now from a film, that's a little harder for me to pick but I agree with some of the others, Lara Croft was a super cool kick-butt character.
Who is your favorite kick-butt female from a film?
I think Hermoine Granger from the Harry Potter movies, because she does use her brains too. I would also have to say Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider movies.
Oh Those are good ones. :) I did not think of them. I answered without reading the comments so mine would be original.
My favorite kick butt female is probably Uma Thermen, from kill bill, that movie is so exciting and trilling, but gross it gotta be the best. She sexy in a werid kind of way, i love her. Plus she funny. =D
Angelina Jolie--Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Tomb Raider, Wanted ... the list goes on.
Angelina Jolie - Tomb Raider
Kate Beckinsale as Selene in the Underworld Series or Milla Jovovich in the Resident Evil series and Ultraviolet.!
Kate Beckinsale in Underworld gets my vote!
Reese Witherspoon. Did you see her punch Candice Bergen in the face in "Sweet Home Alabama"? Too funny! Not to mention the Legally Blonde movies. She was great as Elle Woods. I believe Elle Woods was/is a great role model for young women.
Without question the toughest most kick-butt female is... Hilary Swank! She is a great actor and has appeared in countless action roles such as: Million Dollar Baby;11:14;The Next Karate Kid; and many more.
Angelina Jolie in the role of Mrs. Smith in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is my favorite kick-butt female from a movie.
Mine is also Angelina Jolie from Mr. and Mrs. Smith and also Laura Croft!!
Sandra Bullock, awkwardly, in Miss Congeniality.
I would have to say Jennifer Lopez in the movie Enough it relates to me and she kicked her husbands butt.
Who is your favorite kick-butt female from a film?
Can I have Two Favorites???
Although, Peta Wilson was born in Sydney, she actually spent most of her childhood years in Papua, New Guinea. Since the family had no TV or radio, Peta and her brother entertained themselves by putting on musical shows for their parents. Peta's father was in the Special Services, so she had to learn to adapt to new situations and people fairly quickly, as the family moved.
NOW HOW COOL IS THAT!
+++++++++++++
Jennifer Garner played Sydney Anne Bristow on the show Alias! She was one tough gal in "Alias"
Jennifer was born in Houston and raised in West Virginia. ( Country Gal)
I would have to go with Angelina Jolie in Mr and Mrs. Smith for a movie. For a TV series, I would have to agree with Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow in Alias!
My favourite kick-butt female in a film is Eli from "Let the Right One In." The girl is only 12 and she kicks TOTAL butt. From the bullies to the town drunk, girl takes care of business, and still looks creepy while she does it! Hardcore!
Famke Janssen as Jean Grey in X-Men. She's amazing and way too powerful!
I loved Jennifer Garner in the TV series Alias, so I will have to go with her role in Elecktra.
I like Angelina Jolie in Lara Craft: Tomb Raider movies. She is smart, witty and can kick some major butt. I also liked the ladies from 9 to 5. They may not have kicked some physical butt, but they certainly managed to put the boss in his place.
Jennifer Garner as Elektra! She is so great in this role!
I would have to say Sigourney Weaver as Ridley from Aliens....you don't mess with her!
Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft from Tomb Raider
QUESTION: Since members must pay taxes on the value of most prizes received from Gather, are only U.S. residents eligible to receive the DVD?
Thank you.
Sandra Bullock in those Beauty Pageant movies. But I have to say I liked Farrah Fawcett in Charlie's Angels (Don't remember if there was a movie?!). I just hope she keeps on "kicking butt" and beats the cancer. It's so sad to see her, or anyone, that weak and frail.
Jennifer Garner in Electra.
Angelina Jolie in the movie "Wanted".
