Zoe Saldana
"Anamaria," Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
"Uhura," Star Trek (2009)
"Neytiri," Avatar

Zoe never fails to maintain her femininity while stepping up to take action.




Gina Torres
"Cleopatra," Xena: Warrior Princess
"Zoe Washburne," Firefly and Serenity

Gina plays the epitome of the woman warrior.




Kate Beckinsale
"Selene," The Underworld series

No one plays the role of "hot benevolent supernatural predator" like Kate does. Oh, and two words: "black" and "shiny."

I will have to say—after seeing the film twice—that the way they framed the action sequences, it was very convincing. They did a wonderful job capturing ScarJo's "soft and girly" features and contrasting them with her "Black Widowness."

I was convinced that she could kick any of our asses.
