Iconic SciFi Heroines

Good one, Tankgirl!, for me Sigourney is best actress, she knows tune and change her mood throughout the film, reflecting fear in her face better than Noomi, but Rapace as actress's performance was successful in a very difficult role as space nightmare movie, I think both are convincing actors. Noomi in the medical pod scene was for me awesome! :)

yea I totally agree Mateo....... Signourney was incredible and the Med Pod scene with Noomi was chilling! I also really love Trinity from The Matrix trilogy : ) [img]http://www.matrixeyewear.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Trinity-kicks-ass.jpg[/img]

Yeah Sigourney and Noomi will always be my favourite female heroines in any genre. Sigourney for obvious reasons, and Noomi for Shaw and the original Lisbeth Salander.

I Love Pris and Storm! I think this woman Brigitte Helm was one of the first in scifi film... She is Maria in the movie.. but undergoes a transformation into the robot... 1927 Metropolis [img]http://www.hypergrid.org/metropolis/wiki/en/images/f/f9/Metro_001.jpg[/img] [img]http://onpoint.wbur.org/files/2010/08/100813_Metro_500.jpg[/img]

Well from Aeon Flux I like SIthandra (portrayed by Sophie Okonedo) :D Not really a heroine but she helped Aeon in the film so... [IMG=200x200]http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l458/glvalentine/questionabletaste/aeonflux/18.jpg[/IMG] and Joan Chorot portrayed by Simona Maicanescu from Splice gives a very good example how to run world class business with her spiky attitude [img=200x200]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uexrWjEWiKI/UBAKYPaM6bI/AAAAAAAAAX4/tNOlqgKdHX0/s1600/Splice+Simona_Maicanescu.jpg[/img] and from Terminator:Sarah Connor Chronicles Catherine Weaver portrayed by our lovely Shirley Manson [img=100x100]http://spoilertv.co.uk/images/cache/archived-old-shows/terminator-tscc/season_2/scc_09-shirley-silver_0560_djv1b_FULL.jpg[/img]

I wanted to comment on Barbarella. It was a campy movie but filled with astors that we could recognze, The world centered around Barbarella but sometimes she didn't realize it. My memory is a little faded through the years but I would watch it again. I do recall the opening credirs! Good thread,,

Aye, Ripley and Scully will always hold a special place for me. Has anyone watched Farscape? Aerin Sun is fairly kick-ass. (Though, the character I love most from that show is Rygel, lol!)
