Is it The Bride (Kill Bill), Trinity (Matrix), Leeloo (5th Element), Motoko (Ghost In The Shell), Scully (X-Files), Nikita or someone else?
My vote goes to Sarah Connor (Terminator) and Ellen Ripley (Aliens).
They were really believable as a strong female characters. The first one managed to destroy Schwarzenegger and the second one killed alien queen and horde of xenomorphs with acid blood. Who can compete with that?

responses and comments:
the bride from kill bill is awsome she badass and believeable to me it was cool in the that one place where the huge massacre took place [munchiez117]
Yeah. I've mentioned her first for a reason:) [Bionicman]
Kate winslet for titanic.... no other choice for me. [reeyan]
I think I is not less than a action what she return from the death. So very very daring character. [reeyan]
hey bionicman.. for me it would be elektra by jessica garner.. rasp she was cool in that movie.. with all that kungfu stuff and everything else that she did in the movie was awesome.. lol [theonehush]
I haven't seen her own movie Elektra, but I've seen her as Elektra in Daredevil. The movie was a little too unrealistic but she was hot [Bionicman]
Hi bionicman.Well my favorite character would be Lara Croft (Tomb Raiser).Angelina Jolie did such a wonderful job in it.Also I like Uma Thurman's role in Kill Bill.And there are plenty of others to mention as well.These women have shown the world what girl power is all about.Anyways have a nice day and keep mylotting ... --coolshamescool-- [Shames]
Tomb Raiser? Haven't hear of that one yet. Seriously, Angelina is the only reason I watched Tomb Raider [Bionicman]
I'd say the bride in kill bill. She was pretty cool. Trinity was kind of weak and was just shadowed by neo. Sarah Connor was ok but she had her weak moments too. I'd say she was a little paranoid (for a reason ofcourse). [bryandairogarcia]
Looks like the bride is the most popular so far. Don't be too harsh on Trinity, Neo was THE ONE after all... Sarah Connor is more realistic character. And her being paranoid could be seen as an advantage since it made her and her son survive. [Bionicman]
Hi I think Maria Ford And the film Passion Cop. So seducing she is,,,, Really cool.... really. [SCANDINEVIAN]
Not sure if I've seen that one. Tried to look for it on IMDB and found Passion Cove. Is that what you mean? I think it's a series? [Bionicman]
Hilary Swank as Brandon Teena in Boys Don't Cry wins my vote for 'strongest female character' and is pretty high up on the list of 'coolest', too. Powerful stuff; and far more 'believable' (in that the character was based on a real person, who actually lived - and died - the true story) than, say, Uma Thurman as 'The Bride' (w*nk fodder for small boys). [MJay101]
I've cough Boys Don't Cry many times on tv but never seen it from the beginning til the end. I liked her character [Bionicman]
well when talkin about hollywood,i feel the coolest and best actress is Rachel Weisz.i just adore her looks.you could say that is also one of the reasons why i fell in love with my girlfriend when i first say her.i completely like Rachel's llook and i find her acting very much good.she was even once considered as one of the most good looking among the hollywood women. [Dhinilshanker]
the best actress among hollywood who i feel is Rachel weisz.i just adore her looks and the reason i fell in love at first sight on seeing my girlfriend was because she had quite a good similar face like hers.Rachel was even once considered as one of the most beautiful woman in hollywood and she acts well just like her beauty. [Dhinilshanker]
If your girlfriend really looks like her, you're a very lucky guy [Bionicman]
Hi!! I would rate Uma Thurman 'The Bride' from the cult movie Kill Bill as the coolest female movie character ever onscreen.When I had first seen the movie,I didn't knew anything about the actress nor had I ever heard of Quentin Tarantino(I was too young that time lol)but was so impressed by her character and the movie that I rate it as one of my top 10 best films.In spite of going through so much in the movie,she still maintains a cool and humorous attitude be it in her dialogues or in those fight scenes.I really love the fight scene in the hotel before she fights with Lucy Liu,that was so cool and strengthened her character as a woman who takes on nearly more than 50 guys alone.Others would be Trinity from Matrix series and Ellen Ripley from the Aliens. [aadi_87]
Haven't seen Basterds yet. [Bionicman]
My vote definitely goes to the Bride in Kill Bill. Pretty much the epitome of femme fatale right there. I haven't seen any other story with a female that can kill someone by poking them five times. That is pretty hardcore. [rifat1337]
Another vote for the bride. Does anybody actually count? [Bionicman]
I would agree The Bride from Killbill is very cool and badass. Ellen Ripley's character in the Alien films developed over the course of the four films so well from a woman just using her survival instincts to a highly skilled warrior. Another one that comes to mind is Tank Girl, the movie based on the comics with Lori Petty playing Tank girl. The film is not great by any means but is she is really one cool and witty character who does not mess around. [thezone]
Yeah she was badass and her humour and wit was very sharp in the movie. I think if I was in a battle, I would want her at my side. [thezone]
My vote would got to Megan Fox. She is awesome and sexy. I happen to think she's a good actor even though if it wasn't for Transformers, she wouldn't be famous aha. She's one of my favorite female actors. [Pplaya123]
No, Transformers wouldn't be famous if it weren't for her. I know many people who watched it just because of her [Bionicman]
The only thing I know is that ALL the guys say they have a crush on Jessica Rabbit. [Allie_xoxo]
Did I really wrote that? oh wow [Bionicman]
Wow you made it very hard for me, but I gotta go with Ripley. Alien is in my top five favorite films of all time!. Even though I have had a crush on Scully for a long time now lol. Great discussion Bionicman!. [EdTv00]
I never wanted to admit to myself I had a crush on Scully just because she was related to paranormal and it was freaking me out [Bionicman]
I like Renee Zelwegger (i hope i spell it right). I am not fond of watching action films, i like fun and romance films. I think she's sweet and very interesting. [Gareth126]
I liked her in Empire records [Bionicman]
i say Sarah Connor from Terminator [morcu5]
I would say Leeloo from the 5th element. Not because I thought the character was specially cool or not, but because the actress looks amazing! I like the character to have a cool aesthetic, and it goes beyond my expectations :) [madteaparty]
she does look amazing and her character WAS especially cool [Bionicman]
I liked Chun Li in "Streetfighter: The Legend of Chun Li" but then I may have been influenced a little because I like Kristin Kreuk who played her. Then there were Jessica Alba's and Carla Gugino's characters in "Sin City" who were pretty cool. [stealthy]
I like Chun Li in the game. Especially her helicopter kick hehe Haven't seen the movie. I've heard it's really really bad. Is it true? [Bionicman]
Angelina Jolie.. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... Yeah!!! [rjvb26]
she does have that effect [Bionicman]
hands down either angelina jolie in laura croft : tomb raider or else the keira knightley in domino. They both kick mad A$$! [snafushe]
Haven't seen Domino. I've seen the trailer now and it looks pretty good [Bionicman]
Arwen (Lord Of the Rings) Dominic Toretto and Letty from The fast and The furious Rose Dewitt Mcneill from titanic [WhoIsDIz]
good choices also second vote for Rose [Bionicman]
I join your club and vote for Sigorney Weaver .Ripley is a heroine like no other. She thrills you. Her powerful presence and unstoppable soul will always live on in the minds of movie-goers. She and Newt form a surrogate mother-daughter relationship that is more touching than anything I've seen before in this kind of a movie. In this movie more than any other in the "Alien" series, Ripley's a woman who does what she can to protect herself and the ones around her. She's the perfect action hero. [balasri]
I hated that they killed off Hicks (he was the coolest) and Newt toosad [thezone]
I go for Angelina Jolie, my friend. I like Angelina, when in terms of action movies... [aerous]
okay, thanks for your response [aerous]
All the female actresses that you have mentioned are really good examples of feminine strength but I have a special favour with Leeloo (Fifth Element). I think this favouritism is owing to the fact that I really like the movie. [wenjule]
I really like the movie too. Can't even decide who is my favorite character. Leeloo Dallas multipass or Zorg? [Bionicman]
I really liked Scully in the X-Files, but what about 7 of 9 on Star Trek Voyager, T-Pal on Star Trek Enterprise, and Captain Janeway on Voyager-she made a mess of the Borg Queens plans. All the women in the Star Treks were strong characters. I also liked all those you listed, except I don't know who Motoko is? [mlh8087]
Motoko is a character from classic Japanese animated film "Ghost In the Shell". I couldn't really mention all of them, I love Seven:) [Bionicman]
my most recent one would be Latika in slumdog milloinarelol since i just watched that but from the past? do young girls count? Dorothy in the wizard of oz, Judy Garland [bunnybon7]
They never showed it on TV here in my country. But I'm going to download it again and watch it during holidays. [Bionicman]
hello bionicman! all you mention are really cool female characters, they do have their own way & identity of being remarkable in their respective films... uma thurman is really great as well as trinity in matrix...and yes sarah connor do great... but for me, i like angelina in her role in wanted...hehe great action. i also go for jackie liu in ballistic, michelle rodriguez in swat and of course i think the chinese sisters in the movie so close is really cool! and i also find those women in 'naked weapon' nice...and i also find those women in chinese films that are great in kung fu! haha have a good day! i like tough women!happy [ckyera]
huh?! hahahashockedlolrasp [ckyera]
Wow, I cant believe there is no vote for my personal favourite female character> I vote for Kate Beckinsale as Selene in underworld. I like also Leeloo :) Off topic: Bionicman, I really LOVE your Berserk avatar [thewayis]
You already know the answerglare [Bionicman]
I like Ellen Ripley, Aliens she's got a loads of character and she kick a**. I think her character was not for a woman, but she did an amazing job on this movie and became a female hero. Now how many women can do that? Don't tell me Angelina Jolie can, because I will make you regretted. [Gabby21]
Oh, sorry I didn't explain myself, I read somewhere in an article and they were saying that the producers had a man in mind to play that character, they weren't so sure if the character was for a woman, but hey at the end they went for it and it pay off, she totally kick a**. [Gabby21]
I never thought about this. Well, whatever female character is strong and holds her ground always gets my vote. [Picquarian]
