Who’s the #1 Ass-Kicking Movie Heroine? With Haywire Giveaway!

HAYWIRE opens nationwide January 20.

SYNOPSIS: This dynamic action-thriller directed by Oscar® winner Steven Soderbergh (Contagion) boasts a talented cast that includes Channing Tatum (GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra), Ewan McGregor (The Ghost Writer), Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class), Antonio Banderas (The Legend of Zorro), Bill Paxton (Big Love), Michael Douglas (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Michael Angarano (Almost Famous); and introduces mixed martial arts (MMA) superstar Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, in a demanding lead role that has her performing her own high-adrenaline stunts. Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive. Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious—and dangerous—trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she’ll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary.

With this new action heroine upon us, Action Flick Chick Katrina asked friends and fans who they’d pick as the #1 ass-kicking movie heroine.

One randomly selected respondent will receive a Haywire prize pack, which
includes a Haywire T-shirt, rubber bracelet, and mini poster. U. S. addresses only.

Alan Sizzler Kistler: Sara Connor or Ellen Ripley are way up there for me.
Alex Langley: You
Andrew FitzSimons: Hands down, bar none – Ripley.
Clara Mathews: Ziyi Zhang from Crouching Tiger, Hero & House Flying Daggers. Love that Kung Fu action!
Greg Turner: Ripley is a great shout. Have to say River Tam from Serenity as well – only a few bouts of ass-kicking but they are fairly brutal. Oh and also Hit Girl from Kick Ass :oD
Harold Burman: Honorable mention for Hanna
Jeff Kerman: Toss up between Ripley, Sarah Conner, The Bride, River Tam, or Hit Girl.
Jennifer Lawrence Wurzer: Ellen Ripley!
Jim Mack McGee: ‎1. Ripley close 2nd. Sarah Conner T2

Kip Mussatt: Selene from Underworld or Eden Sinclair from Doomsday.
Luis Robles: Scarlet Johansson “The Black widow” in the movie, TheAvengers.
Marq Piocos Alice from the Resident Evil series has to be on the list
Michael Potter: What about that girl from “Sucker Punch.” I didn’t like the movie but she killed a lot of people. And don’t leave Hellboys girlfriend off the list…man I need some breakfast…also don’t forget what’s-her-name from that one blockbuster movie a couple summers ago…do I win something for “zombie-brain” Kat?
Mitchell Ivey: Violet from Ultraviolet. I can watch her fight scenes over and over.
