Female muscle in the movies?

I tend to find that the movies don't generally do well in putting muscular or strong looking women anywhere near a lead role. For example, Wonder Woman hasn't ever been a strong looking woman, but at least they did put Brook Ence and some other strong looking women in amongst the Amazons.

Are there any other movies which have given strong women a proper appearance?

PS no NSFW content or adult movie references.

The most obvious is Pearl, starring Julia Fory in the titural role.

Among mainstream actresses, Angela Bassett as Tina Turner in "What's Love Got To Do With It?" If Tina had guns like that, she'd have kicked Ike's ass with ease. Cameron Diaz is another who's nicely muscled, too. Check out Jessica Biel in "Blade: Trinity", Hollywood just doesn't get hotter than that! Rachel McLish in "Iron Eagle 3" and "Ravenhawk" aren't exactly Oscar-winning performances, but does showcase her build nicely. Sharon Bruneau did a B-movie action flick "Tornado Run" and let's not forget Jeanette Goldstein in "Aliens" - all the female Marines in that one were slapped together.

On TV, here's one that probably escaped everyone else's notice: Israeli actress Noa Tishby in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Harbinger". She wasn't 'shredded' but displayed a stocky, muscular build.

Also, Spice Williams as a female Klingon warrior in "Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier".

Those are just some off the top of my head... I'll add more as I think of them.

Sue Price and others in Nemesis 2-3-4

Since everyone has already listed the obvious ones, here are some lest knowns, all in their Z movie guilty plesaure.

Kathy Long in The Stranger, Knights

Kari Wuhrer in Malevolent, King of Ants

Chloe Henry - Amsterdam Heavy

Kristy Mitchell - Lake Placid 3, Triassic Attack, Barbarians Rising

Alicia Ziegler - Jurassic Attack

Stacy Haiduk - Attack of the Sabretooth

Rhonda Lundstead - Miami Supercops

Victoria Pratt - Mongolian Death Worm, House of the Dead 2, Tentacles of the Deep

I recommend that you watch Pumping Iron II : The Women and Getting Physical. There is a lot of female bodybuilding in that movies

On TV: Jolene Blalock in "Star Trek: Enterprise" was very toned and flashed her abs on more than one occasion.

Melissa George in Hunted

Sadly this was about the only scene in the entire series where she flashed those muscles. But regardless it's one of the best tv series I've seen.

Noomi Rapace Pecs in Prometheus (Open matte version, the theatrical version is cropped above the interesting bit)

Jessica Biel in Blade: Trinity (2004)

Sarah Connor in T2 is probably one of the most famous examples of an actress getting ripped for a movie role

Evangeline Lilly in Antman. Naomi Harris in Skyfall.

Cory Everson in Double Impact was solid.

Madonna in Die Another Day. Cory Everson in the Hercules series. Brooke Shields in Suddenly Susan. Angela Bassett and Lori Fetrick in Strange Days. Thumper and Bam Bam in Diamonds Are Forever.

I recall a scene in "The Cell" with Kim Chizevsky.

Is Lori Fetrick the albino looking chick that she fought with in Strange Days?

No, that's Louise Decavalier. I don't think Lori Fetrick is in strange days.

Rachel Mclish in Iron Eagle 3

Yancy Butler was quite ripped in the 90's thriller The Ex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpWFkGVhKls

I don't go in for the movie in spite of her and Kathleen Kinmont, but there's Lori Fetrick in an action film called CIA: TARGET ALEXA. I'm not much of a gun person, including fiction, but there's a view of a gun holster against her right thigh that could almost make me one!

Vicky Pratt in Mutant X series 90's. Pretty face, gorgeous body and sexy biceps and abs

Cory Everson in Double Impact was solid.

Epic example. Got me started
