Lady Kaede from Ran
Mitsuko Souma from Battle Royale
Elle Driver from Kill Bill


Im sure more will come to mind.

Speaking of Kill Bill, the Japanese school girl that was Lucy Lui's bodyguard or whatever, was BAD ASS.

Michelle Pfeifer as CatWoman and Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy I also feel were good.

Speaking of Kill Bill, the Japanese school girl that was Lucy Lui's bodyguard or whatever, was BAD ASS.

Ooh, I remember that one! Her name was Gogo or something? She was pretty cool.

I also loved Rebecca Romijn as Mystique and Kelly Hu as Deathstrike in the X-Men movies.

Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada also comes to mind.

Regina :worship: Rachel's hotness almost outshines her evil character though :p

Mo'Nique in Precious!

Mary: But, those... those things she told you I did to her? Who... who... who else was going to love me? WHO else was going to touch me? WHO else was going to make me feel good about myself?

agree, she's evil and sick!

The woman who was in "Superman 2" and Linda Fiorentino's character from "The Last Seduction" instantly come to mind...

Satu Silvo in the finnish movie "The Snow Queen" of 1986. She played the snow queen and was the biggest fear of my entire childhood.

Speaking of Kill Bill, the Japanese school girl that was Lucy Lui's bodyguard or whatever, was BAD ASS.

Michelle Pfeifer as CatWoman and Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy I also feel were good.

Ooh, I remember that one! Her name was Gogo or something? She was pretty cool.

Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada also comes to mind.

Gogo and Mystique were two of the first that leapt to my mind.

I know there are some others but my brain is working slowly this morning.

From the list Annie Wilkes. As others have said Regina is a good one. :lol: And Gogo Yubari. :hearts::drool:
