Rotten Tomatoes, the web site which compiles together film reviews from around the country to form a consensus opinion of a film, put together an unranked list of the ten bad-ass babes in cinema. Among them is one animated female of the bunch, San of Princess Mononoke.
Characterized with attributes rarely seen in live-action, she's primal and edgy, fierce and violent.
Interesting list. I wouldn't necessarily put Charlie's Angels (the movie ones at least) or Angelina Jolie's Fox on there. (I enjoyed Wanted, but I think I would replace her with The Matrix's Trinity.) San is a good choice. Nausicaa, Mulan, and Kusanagi are other good animated candidates. Replace the word "babe" (as the article title says) with "female action star" (as it says in the link), and Hit-Girl would definitely be near the top of my list.
Although if you do make it Female Action Star, then Joan of Arc would be dropped because Passion of Joan of Arc, while one of the more stunning discoveries I made, is not even close to an action film.
Replace the word "babe" (as the article title says) with "female action star" (as it says in the link), and Hit-Girl would definitely be near the top of my list.
Couldn't agree more.
