Badass Women in Movies

Post by Ki »

I looked to see if this had been a thread before and didn't see it so I apologize if it is a repeat.

Two off the top of my head:
Trinity played by Carrie-Anne Moss--Matrix movies
Sarah Conner played by Linda Hamilton--Terminator 2

I never liked Carrie-Ann Moss. That's the girl who played Trinity, right?

I never liked half the people in those films.

Mila Jovovich as Alice in Resident Evil.

Carrie-Ann Moss was badass, but she had a cold personality, unlike, say, Uma Thurman. I love the Matrix (duh!) but the Trinity-Neo love story never worked for me. And the hate that many have for the sequels is understandable.

Other badass women in film that I can recall:

Michelle Yeoh in Tomorrow Never Dies.

Linda Fiorentino in The Last Seduction.

Kathleen Turner in War of the Roses.

edit - thinking about Michelle Yeoh also reminded me of Ziyi Zhang from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. She was definitely a badass girl (with a badass sword!). She and Uma Thurman should get together and duel in some alternate movie universe.
