Has There Ever Been A More Believable Female Action Star Than Sigourney Weaver As Ripley In Alien?

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

Sigourney Weaver as Ripley in Alien is my #1 female action star and performance of all-time. She was tough enough you actually thought she could stand up to grown men, even willing to take a beating from one before backing down. It helps that she is almost 6 feet tall and has that iron jaw. Her acting and presence rounded out her character. Total 100% respect.

I agree Sigourney takes the title. Others: Linda Hamilton in The Terminator franchise. Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill franchise.(Lucy Liu and Daryl Hannah too in Kill Bill Vol. 1) Lastly, Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider (2001) and Kate Beckinsale as Selene in the Underworld franchise.
