Sometimes you just need to watch someone kick some ass on screen for a few hours—that’s where the best action movies come in.

Taking down bad guys, stealing cars, starting an intergalactic war, and good old-fashioned saving the world moments are what the best action movies are made of, but, for some reason, people seem to assume that the genre is dominated by muscled up actors who look like The Rock…or Harrison Ford, if you’re in an Indiana Jones sort of mood. We’re here to tell you that there are a ton of great picks that star and feature some pretty badass heroines. Yes, even before Wonder Woman hit the big screen in 2017.

Take ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ as the perfect example. The film, starring Charlize Theron, proved that women can even dominate a supposedly male-led franchise (sorry, Tom Hardy). Still don’t believe us? Here are 51 insane action flicks that also happen to have strong female leads throwing the punches.
