Top 10 action babes..
No.10 - Carrie-Ann Moss
Action credentials: Matrix Trilogy, Red Planet, Suspect Zero
Carrie-Ann Moss starred in a short-lived 1993 TV show called Matrix, about the underworld's foremost hitman, Steven Matrix. That would be just a small precursor of the fame should would win as Trinity, one of the best action heroines. Cool and sexy under pressure, her soft blue eyes juxtapose her angular face to make her soft yet serious. Look for her in the upcoming thriller Unthinkable..
No.9 - Summer Glau
Action credentials: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Firefly, Serenity, The Unit
This native of San Antonio gets her smoking body from being a prima ballerina most of her life. In fact, Summer Glau's debut role was playing a ballerina on Angel. Bitten hard by the acting bug, she went on to star in the much-nerd-loved Firefly. Apparently, she lost the role of Kitty Pryde in X-Men: The Last Stand to Juno’s Ellen Page, but she definitely came back strong as a deadpan yet sexy terminator in The Sarah Connor Chronicles..
No.8 - Halle Berry
Action credentials: X-Men series, Catwoman, Die Another Day, Swordfish, The Last Boy Scout
A Cleveland native, Halle Berry hasn’t let being the first Best Actress-winning black woman diminish her love of action flicks. 2000 and 2001 were two huge years for her: The X-Men series began, she flashed her breasts for the first time in Swordfish and won her Oscar for Monster’s Ball. She’s made some questionable choices, though, like marrying Eric Benet and starring in Catwoman (although the cat suit was nice). Look for her in the upcoming thriller The Surrogate, not to be confused with Bruce Willis' current Surrogates..
No.7 - Michelle Rodriguez
Action credentials: The Fast and the Furious, Fast & Furious, Lost, Resident Evil
Debuting in the indie flick Girlfight, Michelle Rodriguez looks like she can actually kick your ass (and it would be the most enjoyable beat down of your life). No woman plays pissed-off-while-sexy better than her. The Island needs to bring her back to life in Lost; unfortunately, producers won’t do it because of her DUI during production. She’s just too fast and furious for real life! Look for her in the upcoming action blockbusters Avatar and Machete..
No.6 - Kate Beckinsale
Action credentials: Underworld series, Van Helsing, Pearl Harbor
Brits too often fall into only heady dramatic films, but after cutting her teeth in Much Ado About Nothing and Emma, Kate Beckinsale became the sexy lead vampire warrior in Underworld. She continued in the monster murder with Van Helsing and will be back in the action saddle with Whiteout..
No.5 - Jessica Alba
Action credentials: Dark Angel, Fantastic Four series, Sin City
Widely considered one of the sexiest starlets of this generation, Jessica Alba first caught our attention as the genetically enhanced Max in Dark Angel. Unfortunately, the series ended up being a terrible waste of a good idea, but at least it launched her into our spank banks. The spandex jumpsuit in Fantastic Four is nice, but nothing compares to how smoking hot she is in Sin City -- it makes you forget about the horrendous misstep of The Love Guru..
No.4 - Uma Thurman
Action credentials: Kill Bill, The Avengers, Batman & Robin
The Bride in Kill Bill is arguably the all-time best action heroine; that alone is enough to put Uma Thurman on this list and make you forget about the horrific Batman & Robin (almost). Standing 6 feet tall, Uma smartly dumped her midget husband Ethan Hawke. Look for her in the upcoming Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, where she will be playing the best-looking Medusa ever. Many men would gladly be turned to stone for looking at her..
No.3 - Milla Jovovich
Action credentials: Resident Evil series, The Fifth Element
We first fell in love with this supermodel as the gibberish-talking Leeloo in The Fifth Element. And while no one expected the video game-based movie Resident Evil to be a dynasty, that’s exactly what it’s become. There is even a fourth one, entitled Afterlife, on the way. When Milla Jovovich is not killing zombies, this Soviet Union-native designs clothing and just married Resident Evil director Paul W.S. Anderson. When you have a great franchise, stick to it like glue..
No.2 - Charlize Theron
Action credentials: The Italian Job, Aeon Flux, Hancock
Like Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron hasn’t let winning an Oscar turn her into an art film snob. Two years after her award-winning performance in Monster, she put away her ugly face and sexed it up for the film adaptation of the MTV cartoon Aeon Flux. A hilarious recurring role as a "simple mind" on Arrested Development won her a place in comedy-nerd hearts, but she’ll be back in the action world with the upcoming The Brazilian Job..
No.1 - Angelina Jolie
Action credentials: Tomb Raider series, Wanted, Beowulf, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Gone In Sixty Seconds
The No. 1 beauty of this decade just so happens to also do action flicks when she’s not getting Oscar nominations, adopting babies or looking too hot to be with Brad Pitt. It may seem like a cop-out to place her at the top of yet another list, but who else should we pick? Angelina Jolie's action resume is one of the longest and it includes the most hits. She’s smart, she goes from heart-wrenching dramatic roles like Changeling (where she can show her acting chops) to fast-paced shoot-'em-ups like Wanted. Look for her in the rumored Wanted 2..
Enjoy !!!
