Default Best Non-Comics, Non-Superhero Female Action Hero

....I know I should have someone else at the top of my head. Some sassy Jungle Queen or Femme Fatale, but.... despite it all, I still have to say.....



Yeah, she was rescued, but I've never seen ANY other princess have the oves to take over her OWN rescue operation. She was a kick ass action heroine.... and it's a shame she wasn't used more, or better. (I can't be the ONLY person disappointed when Return Of The Jedi came out that she hadn't been given training in the Force!)

Oh, Princess Leia, you're awesome.

Who's your favorites?

Anyone who knows me knows that my love for Lt. Ellen Ripley and Sarah Conner (Linda Hamilton version) are unbound.

But, I'm also going to throw Dr. Juliet Burke from LOST onto that pile. She's come to grow on me like I never thought she would. To the point of being one of my top three characters on the show along with Charlie and Rose.

Modesty Blaise. No, wait, O'Donnell wrote her in a newspaper strip as well as the novels.

Michelle Yeoh in Supercop, etc, then.

What's your take on Kate Austen? Personally, I want to throttle her.
