15. Yu Shu Lien (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)

Last, but definitely not least on our list, is Yu Shu Lien, played by Michelle Yeoh.

Though, slightly less known amongst Western audiences, Michelle Yeoh has been a badass heroine since the 1980s.

The actress actually does all of the stunts on her own in “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,” where gravity doesn’t seem to affect the beautiful but deadly Yu Shu Lien.

However, at the end of the day, Lien still has honest and pure intentions. Even though she’s a fearless warrior who possesses most awesome martial abilities and will do just about anything to bring back justice and integrity to this tainted world, she is ultimately a hopeless romantic.
