Fuck guys, I forgot about this. I’m going to write a strongly worded tweet to Jennifer because I bet she forgot she was wrong too!
Be sure to include some kind of passive-aggressive “joke” about how everyone in Hollywood who’s left of Harvey Weinstein is stupid.
What about Underworld ?
IIRC she was specifically talking about the young adult genre.

All debates aside, this is one of my all time favorites movies.
Aeon flux i remember being a female led action film.
Am I wrong?
There are like…so many exceptions that she’s just wrong. But Long Kiss Goodnight does rule and it’s worth noting
La Femme Nikita (original French), Alien, and Terminator 2 all had seriously kick-ass female leads.
Oh. Em. Gosh, I’ve watched that movie so many times since I was a kid, I couldn’t even count. She’s awesome and terrifying!
Cherry 2000!
Aeon Flux?
EDIT: Ah someone beat me to it.
Kill Bill? or its inspiration, Lady Snowblood?
Other female led action movies that came out in 2012 include- Brave, Underworld: Awakening, Resident Evil: Retribution, Silent Hill: Revelations… but I feel like I’m belaboring the point that many others have made by now.
I wasn’t allowed to watch “violent” movies as a kid, so I missed a lot of action classics like RoboCop, Rambo, etc. But there were a few exceptions we had on tape so they got watched a lot. Long Kiss Goodnight, T2, Alien,… I rewatched this one again a couple of years ago and was shocked at how violent it actually is. It finally clicked that my single Mum was making an exception for iconic kick-arse women.
