9 Action Movie Costumes That Make No Sense

9. Angelina Jolie In Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Lara Croft is the female explorer from the long running series of Tomb Raider video games, which received a movie adaption in the 2000s. Angelina Jolie played the titular character in the height of her career and Lara Croft became an action heroine icon. That said, her costume became even more famous for how impractical it is.

Sporting short-shorts and a skin tight tank top, Lara Croft was never truly prepared for her exploits. The costume is taken straight from the video games of course, so you can see why the filmmakers decided to keep it. Still this means Croft goes through countless dangerous situations, all while having as much flesh on show as possible.

The production team clearly wanted to cash in on Jolie's sex appeal and the original Tomb Raider outfit was their easiest way. Still, when she's dodging bullets and dashing through wreckage, you would think that she would want some more protection.
