"Manliest" tv/movie moments...by women

Inspired, of course, by the recent “What are the manliest moments in movie history?” thread—“manliness,” whatever it’s origins, certainly doesn’t STOP with men. So I’m looking for the most manly moments in TV and movies by characters who aren’t men.

Some of my picks?

• Most of Valeria’s lines in “Conan the Barbarian.” “Do you want to live forever?”
• Major Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, episode 21. Pissed off cyborg, missing an arm, firing a single-action antitank rifle one-handed. :eek:
• Ellen Ripley, Aliens…uhhhm, deary me, what to pick? I’ll just saythe last fight scene.
So…anyone else?

Terminator 2 when Linda Hamilton racks the shotgun one-handed.

Betty White.

4

A somewhat underated movie IMO, but Geena Davis in almost any scene once when ‘wakes up’ in The Long Kiss Goodnight

I don’t know why, but the first thing I thought of was Rose McGowan as Cherry Darling with a prosthetic machine gun leg in the movie Planet Terror.
