Ok, name the most "bad ass women" in movies......

[a kennedy]

I’m still watching “Salt” and damn, Angeline Jolie??? She’s great in this movie. So she’s #1 right now.

[FoxNewsSucks]

1. I thought Gal Gadot in her first Wonder Woman

was pretty bad-ass. That was the first term that came to mind when I watched it.

[ItsjustMe]

2. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Angelina Jolie

[leighbythesea2]

3. Julia Roberts

In Erin Brockovich. Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce. Karen Allen in Raiders of the Lost Arc. Charlize Theron anytime she plays a "bad" character . Lucy Lui is good at bad characters also.

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. Pam Grier.

She was my idea of a badass woman.

[RockRaven]

5. Lisbeth Salander in the Millennium trilogy (Swedish films/miniseries)

Played by Noomi Rapace.

Also Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner in Terminator 2.

[House of Roberts]

6. Gena Rowlands in Gloria (1980).

[Ohio Joe]

7. Hands down... Ellen Ripley

Sigourney Weaver was the very definition of bad ass in that roll.

[nocoincidences]

18. I completely agree!

[TexasBushwhacker]

19. You know what's crazy. Veronica Cartwright was supposed to play Ripley

Sigourney Weaver was an unknown, but once she auditioned, Veronica had to settle for the supporting role. Talk about a life changing role!

[Bayard]

20. Absolutely!

First time I saw that movie was in the theater with my sister. We were both ready to dive under the seats.

Ripley saved the day, and in the sequels.

8. Meryl Streep in Silkwood, among other movies. And Sally Field in Norma Rae. nt

[Tetrachloride]

9. If I may make a request. To me, there are 2 types of answers: violent and non violent

Nancy Pelosi is one of my leading non violent women role models in real life.

Therefore, i wish for more nominees in the non violent aspect. Above, Spooky listed Norma Rae and Silkwood

[RainCaster]

13. In the nonviolent category, I give you Dolly Pafton

She is one of the most humbly charitable people you will ever meet.

[Grokenstein]

10. I don't mind if they're violent!

(CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK)

Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) in Atomic Blonde

Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) in THE Suicide Squad

Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) in Iron Man 2

14. Right, my husband loved Uma in both Kill Bill movies.......

12. Cant't remember the woman actor in the early wear wolf movies......she was fantastic.....

Ah…..movie had almost a special “black and white” essence to it….she wore a ALL BLACK SHINY TIGHT FITTING outfit……

[RockRaven]

16. Underworld (2003) with Kate Beckinsale?
