    Connor put out in Terminater. Ripley never spread her legs for anybody.

    My vote goes to Connor (she's prettier, too).

    Ripley changed the role of women in action movies forever. I vote Ripley.

    The scene where she beats up the clinic's nurse and then hops around barefoot while holding a nightstick is one I can imitate. :eek:

    I vote "Sarah Kanna."

    WTF is my poll, seƱor River??? :(
    Seriously?!?!? You misspelled it, man?!?!?! :mad: You no longer exist for me, sir. GOODBYE.

    Ripley in Aliens pretty much set the template for female badass, can't top her!

    Can't wait for the Bluray release of the Alien movies later this year!

    Should have been a poll...

    And, you should have included Neytiri (Zoe Saldana). She gets my vote, not only because shes big and blue, but because the real life person is way hotter than those other 2.

    Ripley did so at the prison colony in Alien 3 to the good doctor...who was disembowled by an alien shortly thereafter. I guess noone saw Alien 3.

    Holy crap! I can't believe I did that!

    Hmm Don't remember that. But then again, after I watched Alien 3, I went to hypnosis therapy to have it blocked out of my memory.

    Really, it's been a while but I'll probably have to give it another whirl once the bluray set hits.

    Yeah, but the tough chick has become a boring Hollywood cliche, and it was Princess Leia who started the trend, not Ripley.

    Props to Ripley and all, but Sarah Conner was way more hardcore throughout the movie that Ripley was.

    For Chrissake, it didn't even occur to Sarah to hug John after not seeing him for years, she was only checking for bullet holes.

    Yeah but Leia took a backseat to other characters. Ripley re-defined the female action lead role. Plus, I don't know if it's become cliche so much as there hasn't been anything close to the characters Weaver and Hamilton portrayed in those films.

    I'd go with Sarah Connor...she has an arsenal of weapons to handle the Queen quite easily... plus both the t100 and t1000 are much harder to kill than any alien. She took a twisting dagger through her shoulder but still wouldn't cough up John's location...I don't think Ripley ever got Alien blood on her.
