While there are tons of examples to be had, the following top 10 are among my favorites in this estrogen-fueled badass department. Some of the characters below have appeared in multiple movies, but I only listed the films where I felt they were at their toughest. Take a look at the 10 most dangerous, toughest, badass women to appear on the silver screen - every one of which could render you a quivering, pile of mush.
Honorable Mentions:
Maggie (Bridget Fonda) – Point of No Return, 1992
Tank Girl (Lori Petty) - Tank Girl, 1995
Luz (Michelle Rodriguez) - Machete, 2010
10. Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz) – Kick Ass, 2010
Come on, it's pretty impress

Best Line:"I'm just fu**ing with you Daddy! Look, I'd love a Benchmade model 42 butterfly knife."
9. Catwoman (Michelle Phiffer) - Batman Returns, 1992

Ignoring the foul-smelling odor that Halle Berry left on the big screen in 2004, the definitive Catwoman is most definitely Michelle Pfeiffer! We already knew she was hot, but no one could have guessed that she would look that good in a leather cat-suit, and be able to over-power the men in the film with her feline ass-kicking throw-down.
Best Line: "As I was saying, I'm a woman & can't be taken for granted. Life's a bitch, now so am I."
8. Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000
Okay, honestly, it’s been a whil

Best Line: "To repress one's feelings only makes them stronger."
7. Miho (Devon Aoki) - Sin City, 2005
Deadly little Miho

Best Line: "..."
6. Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) - The Matrix, 1999
Clad in latex and sporting shades and

Best Line: “Dodge this.”
5. Alice (Mila Jovovich) – Resident Evil, 2002

A genetic alteration gave Alice advanced strength and speed, giving her the ability to fight numerous foes at once. It wasn’t until later in these series of movies that Alice evolved into a complete bad ass, developing telekinesis and psychic abilities to go with her already increased physical abilities.
Best Line: “Is that any way to treat a lady?”
4. Fox (Angelina Jolie) - Wanted, 2008

Best Line: “Your father was one of the greatest assassins who ever lived. The man who killed him is behind you.”
3. Beatrix Kiddo - The Bride (Uma Thurman) – Kill Bill 2003

Uma unleashed her badass side and we all thanked Tarantino for it. As the multi-named heroine done wrong by her assassin ex-colleagues, Uma spent two entire films getting her own back. Blood was shed. Bodies fell. Daryl Hannah lost an eye. In Kill Bill Parts 1 and 2, Uma Thurman fought her way to the top of Hollywood's deadliest women. I wouldn't want to get on her bad side.
Best Line: "I am gonna ask you questions. And every time you don't give me answers, I'm gonna cut something off. And I promise you, they will be things you will miss. Give me your other arm!"

2. Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) - Terminator 2: Judgment Day, 1991
After spending the first movie of the franchise being relentlessly pursued by a killer robot from the future, Sarah Connor adds some major muscle mass and throws herself into the role of preparing her son to be the savior of humanity. This of course leads to her winding up in an asylum, but the resourceful Connor has no intentions of staying there long. Her breakout scene is one badass thrill-ride you don't want to miss. While her son John and the latest Terminator from the future get the majority of screen time, it’s Connor and her intense, half-crazed stare who steals the show.
Best Line: "There's 215 bones in the human body. That's one. Now don't move."

1. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) Aliens, 1981
The queen of all badasses, Ellen Ripley, has spent numerous films fighting off deadly acid-blooded aliens. And even jumping into a vat of lava wasn’t enough to stop her, as she showed up centuries later as a more lethal genetic clone of the original. But Ripley is at her best in the James Cameron installment of the franchise, staying alive and thriving while Space Marines drop left and right. The lady also knows how to operate the heck out of a cargo-loader, taking on the alien queen head-to-head while fiercely protecting the young child, Newt.
Best Line: “Get away from her you BITCH!”
So next time you're thinking of making some loud mouth, chauvinist remark, just remember, it may be directed at one of these badass women. And if you're not careful you might find yourself crawling home... or worse. The floor is now yours, so let's hear it. Who are some of your favorite Badass Women in Film?
