Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil)
Milla Jovovich wooed us in "The Fifth Element", but we didn't see her action star potential until she became Alice in the "Resident Evil" series. With a fashion model's grace, a porcelain beauty, and spot-on moves, Alice is one of our favorite female action heroes yet.

Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale plays the vampire hero in 2003's Underworld. Her character, Selene, falls in love with a human. Would you take a vampire bite in exchange for an eternity of love with a never-aging Kate Beckinsale?
Elektra
Jennifer Garner's Elektra is a beautiful killer! We loved the onscreen chemistry between Garner and would-be husband Ben Affleck -- Who would win in a fight between Elektra and #19?Miho (Sin City)
Devon Aoki plays Miho in the film adaptation of Frank Miller's infamous graphic novel, Sin City. Miho is a call girl, but if you get on her bad side you might end up impaled on her sword. How much do you think she charges for that?Aisha al-Fadhil (The Losers)
2010's live-action comic book adaptation The Losers was largely overlooked by moviegoers. However, it's worth watching just to see Zoe Saldana's character kicking some serious butt.Abigal Whistler (Blade: Trinity)
Jessica Biel plays this hot vampire hunter in the third and final Blade film. We don't know if we buy her as Kris Kristofferson's daughter; how could someone so ugly have a child that's so hot?Max Guevara (Dark Angel)
Jessica Alba portrayed the sexy super-soldier in James Cameron's TV series Dark Angel. She also portrayed Sue Storm in both Fantastic Four movies.Ripley (Alien)
Ridley Scott's classic 1979 sci-fi masterpiece, Alien, is know for it's slow pacing. Thankfully we have Sigourney Weaver as Ripley to keep us entertained during the slower moments.Princess Leia (Star Wars)
You probably saw it coming, but there's no way we could exclude her from the list. Carrie Fisher's iconic Star Wars character is one of the hottest female action heroes of all time. Let's just try and forget that she Frenched her on-screen brother . . .Aeon Flux
Charlize Theron brought the MTV cult cartoon heroine to life. The film is worth watching for her sexy acrobatics, although they came at a cost; Charlize suffered a neck injury during principal photography for the film.Nikita
Maggie Q's reinterpretation of this contemporary classic fills the gap that was left after the end of shows like "Alias" and "Buffy" -- and she looks great doing it! Arguably one of the hottest characters to wield any sort of weapon, Nikita is a bombshell.Black Widow (The Avengers)
Scarlet Johansson's Black Widow in "Iron Man 2" and "The Avengers" is by far one of the coolest female action hero roles yet -- and we can't express just how much we love the makeover she gets in "The Avengers". She makes a great redhead.Dr. Jean Grey (X-Men)
Famke Janssen's portrayal of Dr. Jean Grey in the X-Men movies is one of the hottest female action heroes to grace the silver screen. Is being a cougar a superpower?Charlie's Angels
Though the originals were just as attractive, we can't help but favor the new millennium's trio -- Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu -- for giving audiences the hottest team of butt-kicking female stars.Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
Angelina Jolie's onscreen interpretation of the video game hero was highly anticipated in the early 2000s. Jolie brought to the screen a tough and introspective Lara Croft who reminds us that no one else wears that tank top better.Wonder Woman
Lynda Carter's portrayal of Wonder Woman set the bar high for future interpretations of this classic female American superhero. There have been rumors for Megan Fox to play the character in a new film production, but so far there's no new developments so we'll still stick with the original.Buffy
Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a 90s and early 2000s TV favorite for so many girls and boys around the world -- and we have Sarah Michelle Gellar's multifaceted portrayal to thank for that. "Buffy" paved the way for shows like "Alias" and "Nikita".Catwoman
Not only is Halle Berry one of the hottest cougars in Hollywood, but she was the hottest Catwoman. Berry flaunts the character's agility and flexibility, all while looking dangerously seductive.Barbarella
One of the most influential cult films of all time, "Barbarella" gave us one of Jane Fonda's most memorable performances. As a sci-fi action hero, Fonda is electrifying as she is mesmerizing. She's still our #1.
