10 Female Movie Characters Who Kicked Some Serious Ass

3. Leeloo (The Fifth Element)

Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) is the Fifth Element - the supreme being. Whilst heading to Earth to protect the planet from a great evil in the mid-23rd century, the Mondoshawan ship on which she was travelling crashed. Only her hand is recovered by scientists, which is then transported to a government facility with the intention of using it to reconstruct her in the form of a humanoid woman. She escapes moments after waking, crawling through air ducts and ending up on a ledge outside of the building. Confronted by a flying Police cruiser, she dives off the building and lands in Korben Dallas' (Bruce Willis) cab. The plot from that point on is all about Dallas keeping Leeloo away from harm while a priest works on getting her to a chamber to conduct a ritual that will release a divine light and stop the great evil that is coming but, while these attempts are ongoing, Leeloo has to kick a whole lot of ass to keep her pursuers at bay. She displays some serious martial arts skills and athleticism, mostly while looking nothing short of amazing in her iconic white thermal bandage outfit.
