Unsung Action Heroines Who Deserve the Spotlight

April 1, 2021 by Red Stewart

Marvelous Videos presents underappreciated action heroines…

It’s a fact that men dominated the action genre of the 80s and 90s. Sure, occasionally you had some women stand out like Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor and Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley, but studios were more prone to highlight their male counterparts in the marketing department.

And yet, plenty of female action heroes made a name for themselves amongst certain sects of the population, even though they didn’t get the attention they deserved. Well, that ends now: our friends at Marvelous Videos have compiled a list of 11 unsung action heroines who deserve your attention, and you can watch the video right here…

Who are your favourite unsung female action heroes? Let us know in the comments, and if you enjoyed the video, be sure to subscribe to Marvelous Videos on YouTube.
