1 Kate Beckinsale
In her black leather bodysuit, Beckinsale was a killing machine worthy of Stallone in Underworld. 963 2131
2 Angelina Jolie
Jolie is as beautiful in '50s-period dress as she is in black leather, which is to say very beautiful. 648 2236
3 Jessica Biel
The gossip mags know nobody wears workout gear quite like Biel, and boy does that talent come to life with her moves in <i>Blade: Trinity</i>. 518 1294
4 Milla Jovovich
The former model has done a steady stream of action flicks, including The Fifth Element and Resident Evil. Always tough and always hot. 471 1815
5 Charlize Theron
She may be best known for Oscar fare like Monster, but we'll take her as the unstoppable assasin of Aeon Flux any day. 431 1549
6 Jennifer Garner
In Elektra and Daredevil she wears basically nothing, but that doesn't stop her from kicking serious ass. 324 1248
7 Jessica Alba
Alba's roots go back to the leather-clad baby in Dark Angel, so Fantastic Four was a logical next step. 291 1899
8 Megan Fox
What Fox lacks in punch-throwing department in <i>Transformers</i>, she more than makes up for with sprints, all made in tight-fitting, torn clothing 290 1356
9 Halle Berry
Despite the misfire that was Catwoman, Berry improved her action-babe credentials when she played a Bond chick, in Die Another Day. 169 2007
10 Sigourney Weaver
A pioneer among female action heroes, Weaver shows that toughness is sexy. 145 1209
11 Lucy Liu
Don't let that tiny, delicate frame fool you. Lucy Liu's tiny biceps and slender legs dominate <i>Kill Bill</i> and <i>Charlie's Angels</i>. 126 1172
12 Linda Hamilton
In Terminator, Hamilton went mano a (wo)mano with Schwarzenegger and survived, creating the current female-action-hero template. 77 1521
13 Keira Knightley
She's tiny, beautiful, and could probably beat up almost any man on the planet. Quite a combination. 35 1731
14 Uma Thurman
The former model looks as natural as anyone swinging a sword. Oh, and she's a former model! -20 1332
15 Zoe Saldana
She may be new to the action scene, but, after her fine turns in Avatar and Star Trek, you should be seeing a lot more of her. -82 1582
