Say what you will about Lara Croft. Laugh if you want. The fact remains Lara could kick your sorry self to the curb before you even knew what happened. Lara is a rich heiress who knows how to live the good life but can also kill you with ease and a smile on her face. And she always gets what she wants.

Yeah, I said it. Sharon Stone in the Quick and the Dead can blow you away and put so many bullet holes in you you'll be crying like a little girl. Fun Western with the typical "good versus evil" plot, and Sharon shines as a gritty gunslinger.

We're talking about the original Sarah Connor. Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner ruled. Period. You know you know it. She was buff, she was ready for the rise of the machines, and nothing could stop her from saving the world.

There are loads of reasons to check out Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill; two of them are Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu. Plenty of "Girls with Guns" (and swords, and martial arts, and everything else) action. Tarantino's quirky style pays homage to the spaghetti Western, martial arts movies, and other movie genres, with nods to obscure movie and television references. If you like Vol. 1, check out Vol. 2.

Oh, you thought I was gonna forget Sigourney? Not bloody likely. This killer chick is so cool under pressure she can even take on an alien. A classic must-see sci-fi horror thriller.
