Weekly Poll Results: Best Female-Fronted Action Movie

Posted by Sean on January 26th, 2012   Filed under: Polls

It could be one of the closest yet at the same time most lopsided polls ever conducted on Film Junk. Last week we asked you what the best action movie with a female protagonist was, and although it came right down to the wire, Kill Bill, Vol. 1 managed to just barely hang on to its lead over Aliens. To be honest, I thought Aliens was going to wipe the floor quite easily, but I guess you shouldn’t underestimate the power of Quentin Tarantino. Unfortunately almost every other option was completely ignored, which isn’t a huge surprise, but I certainly thought La Femme Nikita and Chocolate would get a few more votes. As many people had mentioned, the addition of Hanna could have potentially made the poll a little more interesting as well, but I kinda forgot about that one… oops. I also wonder if Lara Croft: Tomb Raider would have received more votes than Salt. Do you agree with these results?

1. Kill Bill, Vol. 1 — 41.7%
2. Aliens — 41.3%
3. La Femme Nikita — 4%
4. Underworld — 2.8%
5. Chocolate — 2.4%
6. Resident Evil — 2.2%
7. Sucker Punch — 1.8%
7. Salt — 1.8%
7. Coffy — 1.8%
10. Charlie’s Angels — 0.4%

  1. Apart from The A-Team, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is the worst actionfilm I’ve ever seen.

  2. Personally, I think that Taylor Lautners “abduction” is the best female fronted action movie to date

  4. It’s weird that only Kill Bill vol. 1 was in the poll. As far as The Bride character goes, it’s the weakest of the two. In the first one she’s pretty much a one-note killing machine. The movie is huge fun, but it can’t hold a candle to Cameron’s brilliant treatment of the Ripley character in Aliens. Sorry. No comparison.
