Charlize Theron messing up a perfectly good pergola in Aeon Flux.
Sigourney Weaver in the "And I'll miss you most of all, Scarecrow!" scene in Alien, where she emotionally recites the names of her friends before setting them all on fire.
Linda Hamilton using a nightstick to lay a beatdown on the mental facility staff in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
The clip runs long to include her filling a syringe with drain cleaner
to terrify Earl Boen's character, Dr. Peter Silberman - the perpetually
unfortunate psychiatrist who appears in all three films in the series.
Carrie-Ann Moss in her debut scene in The Matrix, cutting down five cops in 22 seconds, including the slo-mo Karate Kid 2 crane move.
It's probably the most influential scene in any action movie of the
last ten years - it's been ripped off dozens of times already. [I
know, I know, they've been doing it for decades in anime, to reduce the number of frames needed. Doesn't matter.]
Angelina Jolie fighting a giant robot in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. [Bleh.] AOL should have used the Route 7 chase scene from Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The legendary Uma Thurman vs. Vivica Fox catfight from Kill Bill, Volume 1.
Ziyi Zhang flattening a bunch of cavalry riders and then taking out a half-dozen pikemen using cinema verité kung-fu in House of Flying Daggers.
And last but not least, Jessica "Biceps" Biel going all Buffy on
some bottom-dwelling skate suckers in the subway station scene of Blade: Trinity. That scene was completely derivative - "BtVS", The Matrix, The Untouchables, The French Connection, Lost Boys, etc - but somehow Jessica makes it seem fresh.
