She doesn't hit anyone though
Yeh, but 8den said:
"good, bad, tough, cool, kicks righteous ass, smart.
Pick any three adjectives and if they apply to a character, they're a badass."
and she's good, bad, tough, cool AND smart, so I reckon she more than passes the mark
She's a woman too
That's not MY definition

and your point is?
Women can be badasses. Uma Thurman in Kill Bill is another.
She'd have to even harder than the blokes, so definitely a fighter, rather than a smoulderer.

tosh and piffle
she's a badass AND she's a sexy motherfucker![]()
kicks RIGHTEOUS ass? fuck me, this is getting more complicated by the minute
err, Pam Grier then, in Jackie Brown. Although she doesn't actually 'kick' any 'ass' as such, in a physical way, at least![]()

Nah, she's much better/foxier in Coffy. She's my badass.![]()

who's that?
Amitab Bachan - Bollywood heartthrob
And is that what makes him a badass then?Bollywood is pretty much all shit. Apart from one film he was in.
Melville? Not seen it, tis on my list - it's about the resistance isn't it?
