Since filmmaker Robert Rodriguez produced Predators, the reboot of the 80s franchise dropping in theaters across the country tonight, we weren't at all surprised to learn that Alice Braga's character, Isabelle, is seriously badass. After all, Rodriguez loves to fill his films with strong women who wreak as much havoc as the male characters—something he attributes to having grown up with five sisters. Say whatever you will about what they do for a living (no one in Rodriguez’s films is a saint), his female characters are empowered chicks who can take care of themselves and then some.
In honor of bad girls everywhere, here are some of Rodriguez's ass-kickingest, deadliest creations.
Isabelle, Predators (2010)
In this week’s action flick Predators, actress Alice Braga plays a tough chica who carries around a 14-pound gun—by far the biggest weapon held by any of the characters dumped in another world to be hunted by huge aliens. "I’m a sniper and I had the biggest weapon." Braga told Latina.com. "Everyone else was with a knife, with a pistol, and I was here with this big rifle, carrying it all over the place. I was like, 'Why my character, seriously?!'" Needless to say, she more than holds her own alongside the boys in the fight to stay alive.
