tony Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 I just recently started visiting these forums and really liked the favorite SF movie and TV show threads. Those were great threads and lots of fun to read through. I thought I would pose a similar SF/Fantasy related question that my family and I have a go at periodically. Who is the toughest and most dangerous lady (the character, not the actor) out there in the world of SF/Fantasy movies and TV (loosely interpreted)? Tell us why. Give us 3 if 1 is too tough. I'm throwing out a bunch of candidates that I can think of just to get the conversation going but bring in anybody else. I realize these are not all strictly SF or Fantasy: Sarah Conner Ellen Ripley Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV Series) La Femme Nikita Ice Queen from Narnia Reba from Tremors Linda Blair That Blue Girl in the X-Men Lara Croft Ursala - Little Mermaid Anna Torv-Fringe Princess Leah Alien Queen Elizabeth Swann Milla Jovovich in the Resident Evil flicks Milla Jovovich in The Fifth Element Uma Thurman – Kill Bill Lucy Liu – Kill Bill Mrs. Smith Agent Dana Scully Assassin Anna Topov – Golden Eye (James Bond) Zoe Saldana – Avatar Trinity Terminator Gal from T3 Elektra Rachel Weisz in the Mummy Michelle Yeoh – Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Eve (Natasha Henstridge) – Species Snake Gal (Salma Hayek) from Dusk Till Dawn (I don't know how tough she is but I love a good snake dance) Tough to choose but I'm gonna pick: 1 - Flight Lt. E. Ripley 2 - Milla Jovovich in the Resident Evil series 3 - Terminator Gal Do your worst, Tony
philp Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 OK I will play. My favorite has got to be Catwoman (Julie, Lee and Michelle) Also loved Emma Peel from the TV Avengers series The gals in Firefly all had their share of tough values Plus I love several of the gals you have in the above list.
tony Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Posted October 19, 2011 Great choices. I pretty much like Michelle Pfieffer in anything. What are your thoughts on the Halle Berry Cat Woman? Anne Hathaway will be the new Cat Woman in the upcoming Dark Knight Rises. I don't know how I could have left Emma Peel off my list. Plus Diana Riggs is my favorite Bond Girl (On Her Majesty's Secret Service). Tony
MAShelley Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Hard to argue with Ripley, or Michelle Yeoh from Crouching Tiger, but I don't see Xena on that list. Or Grace Jones from Conan the Destroyer. Or Eartha Kitt's Catwoman. (Maybe not the toughest, but the best voice.) Or, if we're stretching, Kathy Bates in Misery. Just throwing them out there.

dmorrissette Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Always been a big fan of Sigourney Weaver as Ripley but Milla Jovovich is great also Dave
ewahl Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Nobody has mentioned two of the toughest women on the 2003-09 BSG: Kara Thrace (Starbuck) and Cylon Six. Ed
RGronovius Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 The werewolf hunting vampire chick from the Underworld series, Kate Beckinsale (sp?).
Mark Aldrich Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Oh My Goodness! You are all so way off base....The TOUGHEST Female Character out there is Taarna from HEAVY METAL!!!! Hot, sexy and a MAJOR derriere kicker!!! Edited October 20, 2011 by Mark Aldrich
Eric Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Here's my vote Buffy Ripley Iria from Zeiram the Animation (Anime) The Major from Ghost in the Shell series Eric

Tony Or how about Halle Berry as Storm in the Xmen or Halle Berry in Die another Day or Scarlett Johansson's character in Iron Man 2. Edited October 21, 2011 by PeteJ
Lumpulus Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Janeway Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01 Uhura Tasha Yar Can you tell I like Star Trek? Oh yeah, Princess Leia.
noelsmith Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 For a really TOUGH, FEISTY sci fi lady........I'm surprised that no previous thread has mentioned Linda Hamilton's portrayal of Sarah Connor in the Terminator Movies
TimDarrah Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 What about the girls in Farscape? I can't remember the names, but they were...
