Another Top 10 Sexiest Female Villains

“Kill Bill: Volumes 1 & 2” both had their fair share of sexy villains, including Deadly Viper Assassination Squad members Vernita Green and Elle Driver, but it’s O-Ren Ishii from “Vol. 1” that makes our list. Portrayed by the sizzling Lucy Liu, O-Ren is the perfect mix of beauty and poise, combined with a terrible temper and a tendency to decapitate her enemies. Known by the code-name Cottonmouth, she was also part of the assassination squad that attacked The Bride at her wedding, which means a sexy showdown between our yellow-clad hero and the leader of the Tokyo Yakuza was inevitable.

Amazing Amy seems to have it all: she’s funny, smart and drop-dead gorgeous. She’s also incredibly dangerous and is willing to do absolutely anything to get what she wants, including lying, blackmailing and committing murder. Definitely the kind of woman whose good side you want to stay on, she makes a habit of framing people for crimes that they not only didn’t commit, but that didn’t even happen – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg of her ruthlessness. An irresistible seductress, Amy’s sex appeal adds a special layer of danger to her relentless vindictiveness.

There is no question that the Evil Queen from the legend of Snow White is a classic villain. And, while we knew she was attractive, we had no idea she had the otherworldly appeal of Charlize Theron! Named Ravenna, the queen is the tyrannical ruler of Tabor and has the ability to retain her youth and extend her life by draining younger women of theirs. She’s willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that she remains young, beautiful and in power – including eating Snow White’s heart.

You just can’t trust those beautiful members of the social elite! Kathryn Merteuil is played by Sarah Michelle Gellar – so, naturally, she’s gorgeous. Unfortunately, she also enjoys destroying people for her own amusement, manipulating characters for sheer pleasure. Another villainess in the grand tradition of classic Hollywood “Bad Girls,” Kathryn hides her true nature by pretending to be a model student. But as the audience, we’re privy to just how evil and sexy she can be – for better or worse.

Even the great Indiana Jones is susceptible to a blonde bombshell. Elsa Schneider, played by the gorgeous Alison Doody, was beautiful, smart, and a Nazi – as discovered by Indy’s father, Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. [“she talks in her sleep”]. Assigned to retrieve the Holy Grail for Hitler, Elsa first uses her womanly wiles on the senior Dr. Jones – who ends up captured for his troubles – and eventually moves on to his son Indy. Her single-minded determination and obsession to retrieve the Grail eventually prove costly for her, but there’s no denying her role as a villain – and a sexy one at that.

If it’s true that Satan can take any form, then why wouldn’t he choose to look like the stunning Elizabeth Hurley!? Preying on the weak, the Devil chooses a lowly tech support worker, Elliot Richards, and offers him seven wishes in exchange for his soul. Unfortunately for Elliot, Satan always adds an extra something that makes the wish miserable for him. While this film is a comedy, it does demonstrate the manipulative nature of Satan, using Hurley’s unbelievable beauty and natural sex appeal to disguise the wicked schemes.

As with the first “Sin City” film, “A Dame to Kill For” contains several different storylines. Ava Lord’s story, however, is the one actually called “A Dame to Kill For,” essentially making her the main character of the film. And there’s a good reason for that: she’s beautiful, manipulative, violent, and ruthless. Played by the gorgeous Eva Green (evva), Ava convinces former lover Dwight McCarthy to kill her husband for his money. Ava uses her body, which is often lacking in clothing, to get Dwight and other characters to do exactly what she wants, which often results in violence and death.

Forget “Twilight”: these are the kind of vampires we like to see…until they kill us. Santánico Pandemonium, played by the beautiful Salma Hayek, is main draw at this hole-in-the-wall bar/brothel known as the “Titty Twister.” And she is everything you want in a female villain, as she’s stunning but also ruthless, killing men after luring them into the club with her seductive dance moves. Oh, did we not mention? Santánico is the Queen Vampire at this Mexican strip club, so you’d better make sure you come in not bleeding and with a pocket full of ones to keep her happy.

Even today, it’s rare to see a female character naked for essentially most of the film. In the “X-Men” universe, however, all you need is some blue body paint. Played in this first installment by the stunning Rebecca Romijn, the villainous Mystique has a deep-rooted hatred for ordinary humans, so it’s no wonder she’s eager to join the evil mutant Magneto in his plot to wipe out humankind. Mystique’s mutant power allows her to physically transform into anybody she wants, although in our mind, she’s perfect the way she is!

Several actresses have employed their innate sexiness to bring the Catwoman to sensual life, but no one has done it better than Michelle Pfeiffer in “Batman Returns.” She is the ultimate feline fatale with her skin-tight latex, whip, high heels and blood red lips. Now that’s the way to get a superhero’s attention! While many actresses were considered for the role of Catwoman, Pfeiffer was the purr-fect choice. She seamlessly combined Catwoman’s villainous nature and sexy persona into a deadly foe whose every move was erotically charged.
