      Wozzaseds Ha. Indeed. I'd vote for Doris day in calamity Jane (she shoots Indians whilst singing - can anyone else on the list do that... Well maybe Streep!)

    Paul Reiser in The Tower came to mind. I haven't seen it since I was a kid (probably when it was new?) and so my memory of it may be off, but I remember thinking it was a bit... unlikely.

    Anjelina in Salt. She weighs about eighty pounds! It looks like she could be defeated with a well placed fan!

    My memory seems to recall a significant amount of scoffing at Bruce Willis' ability to pull off an action movie prior to the release of die hard.
