And if you're including TV shows then you have to mention Jennifer Garner as Sidney Bristow.

Add Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez and maybe two more I have to think about.

Jennifer Garner? Yeah, probably. Gotta remind people she was Elektra as well as Sidney Bristow.
And her hand to hand fight in The Kingdom was downright brutal.

How about Demi Moore?
Angelina Jolie as the baddie.

Angelina also for Mr and Mrs Smith, Wanted, and Salt.
Remember they need to be iconic also.
As much as I love Summer, she just isn't there.

Yet.
She could be like the new girl on the team, though.

Wow! Surprised to see this here. I have a still active conversation about this exact topic with a couple of female friends concerning who I'd love to see in a female Expendables movie (including the roster I picked for main roster, backups (if main isn't available) and Alert 5 (as they say in the military). Let me go to my e-mail for my list...a-ha! Found it. Here's my full roster:

Definitely should be in:



- Rachel Nichols

Backups:


- Zoe Bell

- Rose Leslie

- Magda Aponowicz




Alert 5:


- Gal Gadot

- Morena Baccarin

- Luvia Peterson


How's that for a list? Thanks. Out!

Hi JewelStaiteFan, for Rachel Nichols here's what makes her qualify for this film wise:

- G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (she played Scarlett)
- Alex Cross
- Raze
- TV Series Continuum

For Ms. Zoe Bell...she's a legendary ass-kicker and stunt woman famous for Angel of Death and Raze

For Magda and Luvia it goes back to the TV series Continuum

For Morena we remember her using a crossbow a little for Serenity but she's also about to have a little film called Spy come out.

Gal Gadot qualifies with her Fast and the Furious films (Fast 4-6) and is about to play Wonder Woman

And Rose Leslie for Ygritte in Game of Thrones where she kicked a ton of ass (especially with a bow and arrow). There you have it. Out!

Certainly looks like 3 votes FOR, so I gotta put it on my list. Similar to any other shows?

None that I can think of right away. It's about a cop from the future accidentally transported back in time, along with a terrorist group that were supposed to have been executed in her future. The terrorist group has a just cause, but their methods are suspect, and yet over time she begins to believe they might have a valid point about the government of the future.

I know there have been other

but I haven't seen several of them, like Time Trax or 7 Days, and I'm sure there are others I'm not aware of. I can only suggest you watch a few episodes and see what you think. At the current time, there are no showings scheduled on Syfy, but all three seasons are on Netflix.

You mean there are still actual video stores around?

Or, if you're so inclined, I am sure there are other alternatives.

But my library has first 2 seasons. (libraries have books, too - which are like papery blogs.)

I liked the pilot, gotta watch more.
I also noticed brief scene with Lexa Doig!

Heard on news that Stallone is planning on expanding the franchise, to include women action characters.
I immediately thought of Summer Glau, for both Serenity and Terminator. However, the only 2 Iconic names mentioned were Sigourney Weaver and Milla Jovovich.

I can see how those 2 could be more well-known than Summer, but I might think few others would rank higher than Summer on such a scale. Should we help them out with recommendations?

Sigourney Weaver - Lt Ripley
Milla Jovovich - Resident Evil (as stated by the news I heard)



Summer Glau - River Tam, Terminator


Michelle Rodriguez
Sarah Shahi - Bullet to the Head (w/ Stallone), Person of Interest
Chloe Grace Morentz - sure, Kick-Ass might be her only action role, but she OWNED that
Natalie Portman - V for Vendetta, Star Wars, The Professional
Halle Berry - 007, Catwoman, maybe Swordfish?
Moon Bloodgood - Terminator, plus some others IIRC


Linda Hamilton? - Sarah Connor
Lena Headly? - Sarah Connor, 300
Jessica Alba? - Dark Angel, Machete franchise
Sarah Michelle Gellar? - Buffy - or is this not the right role?
Eva Green? - 007/Vespa??, 300II, Sin City/Dame
Jaclyn Smith? - 70's Charlie's Angels
Lindsay Wagner? - 70's Bionic Woman
Heather Thomas? - was 80's Fall Guy a butt-kicking role?
Ming Na? - is Agents of SHIELD her only action role?
Eliza Dushku? - a little in Dollhouse, Faith in Buffy & Angel
Famke Jansen? - 007 she was a bit lethal, right? anything else?
Gabrielle Anwar? - Burn Notice, kinda wasn't her stereotypical role, was it?
Grace Park? - Dark Angel, Hawaii Five-O
Rene Russo? - In The Line of Fire, Thomas Crown Affair
Kiera Knightly? - Pirates of Carib, Domino, any others?
Christina Hendrickson? - YoSaffBridg could do action, has she done other action work?
Angie Dickinson? - 70's Policewoman, plus some horro b-flicks she was kinda mean
Yvonne Craig? - 60's Batgirl? That seemed about as butt-kicking as chicks got in those days
Yvonne Strahovski? - Was she actiony in Chuck?


edit: Adds from following responses.
Geena Davis - Last Kiss Goodnight
Pam Grier - Need you ask?
Kate Beckinsale - need you ask?
Rachel Ticotin
Lucy Lawless - Xena
Jamie Lee Curtis? - True Lies? what say you?
Sara Butler - from her horror flick remake
Jennifer Garner? - Alias
Bridget Fonda? - La Femme Nikita? - correction: Point of No Return.
Angelina Jolie? - Tomb Raider?
Sandahl Bergman?
Izabella Scorupco? - Reign of Fire, Vertical Limit?
Renee O'Connor? - Gabrielle in Xena?
Lynda Carter? - Wonder Woman?
Radha Mitchell? - Pitch Black?
Lucy Liu? - Payback, X vs 7, Kill Bill?
Jennifer Lopez? - Out of Sight, Angel Eyes?
Yancy Butler? - Witchblade?
Jessica Biel? - Blade, Total Recall?
Jodie Foster? - Silence of the Lambs, Brave One?
Zoe Saldana? - Columbiana?
Helen Mirren? - RED?
Devon Aoki? - Sin City
Jennifer Lawrence? - Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games), Raven/Mystique (X-Men)
Uma Thurman? - Kill Bill?
Carrie-Anne Moss? - Trinity in Matrix
Jenette Goldstein? - Aliens? not as much in Lethal Weapon
Maisie Williams? - Game of Thrones?
Michelle Yeoh? -
Zhang Ziyi? -
Rene Russo? - Line of Fire?
Gina Carano? -
Carla Gugino? - Watchmen, Spykids, Sin City.
Rachel Nichols - Continuum
Cynthia Rothrock? -




Any other suggestions?
Who should be listed higher than Summer?

Eta: I realized she wasn't on the list. I thought she was.
She was Lady Jaye in the 2nd GI Joe and also Wonder Woman in the failed TV pilot from a couple of years ago.
Also think she did some actiony stuff in the failed Aquaman pilot also from a few years back.
Hmmmm...I hope she has better luck with her SHIELD role.


And I need to add that Renee Russo also kicked butt in Lethal Weapon 3.

And Famke Jansen was Jean Grey in the X-Men movies.
