Best Female Action Star?

[WossamottaU]

Just watched the new Alien Romulus movie which got me thinking of the subject.

While Sigourney and Linda Hamilton both put up absolute A-level action performances, their collective bodies of work don't scream action star. So who takes the top spot?

Milla Jovovich comes to mind. Charlize Theron's been putting in work as well. Cynthia Rothrock? Uma Thurman?

I'd make a list of candidates but I don't know how to make a poll.

What say you, Sherdog? Who's the GOAT?

(Edit to say, someone move this shit to the Mayberry!)

Wrong forum my friend.

Sigourney Weaver is the answer.

Hence the edit. You know how to move it? I figure some mod will solve the problem...eventually.

Yeah someone will move it. And sorry I missed your edit.

But who would you pick as the GOAT female action movie star?

Hard to say. I'd be inclined to agree with you on Sigourney, but while she has the quality, she doesn't have the quantity.

It's 2am though so I'm gonna sleep on it. By the time I wake up, I expect answers. And for some guy with a blue name tag to have done his job and moved this thread to the right spot.

Never been to Indonesia so I can't say with certainty...

Name a star, throw some movie shoutouts!

Michelle Yeo?

Cynthia Rothrock

Lucy Liu, of course after Rhonda.​

 

[ChickenBrother]

As much as I think she's overrated, this probably goes to Angelina Jolie.

Michelle Yeoh probably has the best long term action filmography with Supercop, Tomorrow Never Dies, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Heroic Trio, Shang Chi and Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Sigourney Weaver is great in Aliens but that's really the only movie of hers that is pure action, not counting the Avatar movies where its a lot of motion capture.

Prime Angelina had a decent string of action movies

Tomb Raider, Mr and Mrs Smith, Wanted, Salt.

 

[Sycho Sid]

Michelle Rodriguez has a good body of work.

Never the star, but still a solid support

Star means what? That she could open a movie or she is really good at her craft?

Either? Both?

I was so glad her knockout meant her remake of Foad House was dead. She never really got good at the acting part.
