You mean there are still actual video stores around?
It's on Netflix Streaming, can purchased from Amazon on DVD, or rented/purchased on Amazon Instant Video (not free on Prime though), or rented or purchased on VUDU. Or, if you're so inclined, I am sure there are other alternatives.

Yep. Chain is named Family Video, and they have a collection of Digital Video Discs for rental, or purchase. Better selection than RedBox. But not enough selection, apparently.

This seems to have been tried already, named Mercenaries.
Included Cynthia Rothrock, who I had not recalled before.

But my library has first 2 seasons. (libraries have books, too - which are like papery blogs.)
I liked the pilot, gotta watch more.
I also noticed brief scene with Lexa Doig!

Lexa's part is what they call recurring. She's on frequently, but not every episode.

After 3rd episode, must agree Rachel kicks butt. In bonus material, she says she likes action work.
Have seen Lexa in each ep so far.

And yes, I do think Continuum is a pretty good show.
Finished season 1, must agree with the review - I recommend to all sci fi fans.

I immediately thought of Summer Glau, for both Serenity and Terminator. However, the only 2 Iconic names mentioned were Sigourney Weaver and Milla Jovovich.
I can see how those 2 could be more well-known than Summer, but I might think few others would rank higher than Summer on such a scale. Should we help them out with recommendations?
Sigourney Weaver - Lt Ripley
Milla Jovovich - Resident Evil (as stated by the news I heard)
Summer Glau - River Tam, Terminator
Michelle Rodriguez
Sarah Shahi - Bullet to the Head (w/ Stallone), Person of Interest
Chloe Grace Morentz - sure, Kick-Ass might be her only action role, but she OWNED that
Natalie Portman - V for Vendetta, Star Wars, The Professional
Halle Berry - 007, Catwoman, maybe Swordfish?
Moon Bloodgood - Terminator, plus some others IIRC
Linda Hamilton? - Sarah Connor
Lena Headly? - Sarah Connor, 300
Jessica Alba? - Dark Angel, Machete franchise
Sarah Michelle Gellar? - Buffy - or is this not the right role?
Eva Green? - 007/Vespa??, 300II, Sin City/Dame
Jaclyn Smith? - 70's Charlie's Angels
Lindsay Wagner? - 70's Bionic Woman
Heather Thomas? - was 80's Fall Guy a butt-kicking role?
Ming Na? - is Agents of SHIELD her only action role?
Eliza Dushku? - a little in Dollhouse, Faith in Buffy & Angel
Famke Jansen? - 007 she was a bit lethal, right? anything else?
Gabrielle Anwar? - Burn Notice, kinda wasn't her stereotypical role, was it?
Grace Park? - Dark Angel, Hawaii Five-O
Rene Russo? - In The Line of Fire, Thomas Crown Affair
Kiera Knightly? - Pirates of Carib, Domino, any others?
Christina Hendrickson? - YoSaffBridg could do action, has she done other action work?
Angie Dickinson? - 70's Policewoman, plus some horro b-flicks she was kinda mean
Yvonne Craig? - 60's Batgirl? That seemed about as butt-kicking as chicks got in those days
Yvonne Strahovski? - Was she actiony in Chuck?

Any other suggestions?
Who should be listed higher than Summer?
So, I think I've caught up.
My original reason for posting was my thought that Summer should be included. I still think she would be in my to 10.
Who agrees?
Who disagrees, and which 10 do you think would be higher?

Does anybody recall Lily Collins doing any butt kicking? I was thinking that either in Priest or Abduction she did some, but I cannot recall for sure.
How about Archie Panjabi? She seemed to be the type in The Good Wife, but I normally didn't catch that show, and never knew if she produced, only gave off the vibe. Don't recall her doing any butt kicking in her other works. I didn't really consider soccer to be butt kicking, either for her, Kiera, or any others.

Adrianne Palicki gets another butt kicking notch for her new role in Agents of SHIELD.
Eta: I realized she wasn't on the list. I thought she was.
She was Lady Jaye in the 2nd GI Joe and also Wonder Woman in the failed TV pilot from a couple of years ago.
Also think she did some actiony stuff in the failed Aquaman pilot also from a few years back.
Hmmmm...I hope she has better luck with her SHIELD role.
And I need to add that Renee Russo also kicked butt in Lethal Weapon 3.
And Famke Jansen was Jean Grey in the X-Men movies.
