Famke Janssen
As one of the new generation of Bond girls, Famke Janssen plays villainess Xenia Onotopp with great zeal - chewing cigars, dangerous driving, engaging in kinky sex, indescriminate shooting... Poor old 007 gets into serious trouble with her, in Martin Campbell's GoldenEye (1995). |

Milla Jovovich
Jovovich was born in the Soviet Union in 1975, and first hit public consciousness as a supermodel in the late 1980s for Revlon. For our purpose, however, her first role of note was in The Fifth Element (1997), directed by then-future (and now ex-) husband Luc Besson. She played Leeloo, a semi-alien with bandages for clothing, a style that sadly never caught on. She did, however, provide one of the film's most memorable sequences, a gymnastic display of martial arts to an operatic soundtrack. Next in line was another Besson movie, The Messenger (1999), in which she played Joan of Arc, wielding a sword at the head of a French army inspired by her messages from God. Despite some phenomenal battle scenes, the film wasn't a great success - personally, I found Joan came across as a religious nutcase, for whom burning at the stake was no bad thing, but then, I'm neither French nor Catholic. Her best claim to fame can be found in Resident Evil (2002), based on the popular videogame series, which has her fighting zombies, flayed dogs, and a monster called the Licker. While lacking the uber-splatter of the games, it's an entertaining piece of schlock from director Paul W.S. Anderson, who also made Mortal Kombat. The ending is left very open for a sequel, and one is currently being planned, which should once again see Jovovich picking up the heavy weaponry and kicking undead butt. Can't wait... Jim McLennan
