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

Rachel McLish

The pleasantly-muscled IFBB Ms. Olympia champ went on to have a sterling film career in such cinema verite fare as Raven Hawk: a socially-conscious film, produced by Italians, about a Native American woman (McLish, who is Spanish) wreaking revenge on greedy oilmen who framed her for murder because, yeah, they’re greedy oilmen.

Highs: Mucho exploding cars and hilarious 90s-era cell phones, loving CUs of McLish’s striated back muscles, goons getting punched off a speedboat. Lows: No fight scene between a raven and a hawk, as title seems to imply—obviously, a huge disappointment for bird-fight enthusiasts.
