Believability. It’s a key commodity for an action star. No amount of kinetic, fast-twitch, shuffle-cut editing can make an actor look like they know what the hell they’re doing in a fight—as anyone who’s watched John Stamos throw a volley of noodle-wristed, gas-armed whiffles during his fight scenes in the 1991 biker pic Born to Ride can attest. (Sorry, Uncle Jesse. You just didn’t have the juice.)

But plenty of guys do. Tom Hardy’s got it. Early Eric Bana had it. Steven Seagal sorta had it, until he got all roly-poly and potato-faced and took to wearing embroidered Mandarin waistcoats.

And the same goes for female action movie stars. Some got it, some don’t. (Some—Scarlett Johansson, Halle Berry—just look agreeable in tight patent leather, so we forgive them.)

But here, a list of 10 female action babes who most definitely bring it. Read this...and weep for your weakness.

10 Best Movie Heroines

Tamara Dobson

If her name is unfamiliar, you need to bone up on the “blackspoitation” film movement of the 70s. While it introduced us to a rogue’s gallery of surly anti-authoritarians like John Shaft, the movement also gifted us with actresses such as Pam Grie —who embodied tough characters with names like “Foxy Brown” and “Coffy.”

But even Grier (a near-miss on this list) takes a backseat to Dobson, a statuesque powerhouse best known for her embodiment of the titular character in 1973’s Cleopatra Jones. Dig on the film’s tagline: She’s 6 feet 2” of Dynamite … and the Hottest Super Agent Ever! Dobson lives up to the hype, kicking nine kinds of ass all over the screen.
