Story Fizz's video: Top Crazy Female Hero Movies

The male hero is so stereotypical that we often yearn to see females take their place. And when the ladies do, they sure impress. Let’s take a look at the top Hollywood films with female heroes in the lead. We kickstart this list with CIA agent Evelyn Salt who is accused of being a secret Russian agent who is suspected of planning the assassination of the Russian president. She goes on the run and tried to clear her name while losing much of herself along the way. Salt is brilliantly portrayed by actress Angelina Jolie. When we think of superheroes, an image of a male figure usually always comes to mind. Yet, one female superhero who has managed to break that mould i the gorgeous and super strong Wonder Woman. The Amazonian Princess Diana wages war against Ares the God of War, to save the world from destruction. Played by Israeli actress Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman truly fills us with wonder at her beauty and her grit. One of the first movies to hit the big screen with a lady hero saving the day, Ridley Scott’s 1979 hit Alien truly stood apart from the movies of its time that had male heroes. In the lead the movie had Sigourney Weaver playing officer Ripley who is aboard a commercial space tug. Unfortunately, the tug is attacked by an extra-terrestrial Alien that rips into the flesh of humans and tear them apart. Ripley stands her ground and battles the horrendous creatures. Sigourney plays the part beautifully. Erin Brockovich is a Julia Roberts starrer that sees the actress take on her Oscar winning role as Erin Brockovich, the legal assistant who helps a tiny town win a major case against a huge corporation that has been knowingly poisoning their water supply. Now Erin may not wield a gun or perform action stunts but the way she singlehandedly fights the case despite threats on her life all the while managing her home as a single mom truly brings out the superwoman in her. Think of female heroes and it is hard to not imagine the gorgeous Uma Thurman in her yellow outfit wielding a sword with the expert of a samurai. Kill Bill sees a former assassin known as The Bride take revenge on her ex-boss Bill and his associates for having tried to have her murdered on her wedding day. Underworld is an action horror film that features Kate Beckinsale in the lead as a vampire who is a death dealer. She hunts and kills werewolves known as Lycans who were allegedly responsible for the death of her whole family. Undoubtedly one of the biggest names among female heroes, Lara Croft stands tall in an industry dominated by male action figures. And, she sure can give any man a run for his money. Croft is an adventurer who sets out in search of mysterious artefacts from the Illuminati all the while fighting villains and staying a step ahead of the game. Croft is played by Angelina Jolie.
