8 Buff Babes For Sucker Punch

Features
By Total Film published 24 February 2009

Zack Snyder wants butt-kicking girls. How about this lot?

Jessica Biel

Jessica Biel

Why Her: She's proved she can handle herself when it comes to knives, swords and guns. Plus she looks great kicking serious arse.

Action Credits: Blade Trinity, bits of Stealth.

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway

Why Her: Because she can seemingly do anything the job requires - drama, comedy, action... Sometimes all at once. Heck, thanks to the Oscars, we know she can sing, too.

Action Credits: Get Smart.

Danielle Panabaker

Danielle Panabaker

Why Her: She might not have the solid action background of some of the other choices, but she's tangled with Jason Voorhees and she's played a superhero. She can handle fantasy action.

Action Credits: Friday The 13th, Sky High.

Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis

Why Her: The film may have been awful, but Mila Kunis proved she can carry herself as a killer in Max Payne. Plus, why put all that machine gun training to waste? And talking of killing, she's also played a psycho...

Action Credits: Max Payne, American Psycho II: All American Girl

Moon Bloodgood

Moon Bloodgood

Why Her: We've seen her in full-on action mode in the Terminator Salvation footage released so far.

Action Credits: Terminator Salvation, Pathfinder.

Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams

Why Her: Another possibly leftfield choice, but she's got real acting chops. And Guy Ritchie clearly sees something in her beyond a girl-in-peril type. And she faced down Cillian Murphy, too...

Action Credits: Red Eye, Sherlock Holmes.

Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson

Why Her: Criminally underused by Quentin Tarantino, she's long since proved what she can do as an FBI agent and, most importantly, as a lethal lady of the night.

Action Credits: Sin City, Eagle Eye.

Emily Mortimer

Emily Mortimer

Why Her: Despite occasionally getting typecast as shy English flowers, she's since proved she can hold her own with even the likes of Samuel L Jackson.

Action Credits: The 51st State.
