* ''Series/ThePower2023'': As women develop the skein around the world, it causes this increasingly since they learn how to use their electrico-generating ability as a weapon. Those in Saudi Arabia revolt first, then also the Carpathian women, as the skein becomes a potent equalizer (and soon a superior attribute).

* ''Film/SoClose'': The main characters are highly-skilled hackers as well as ass-kicking sisters, [[SiblingTeam Lynn and Sue]], compete with a highly competent badass detective, [[ActionGirl Kong]]. In the beginning, [[DarkActionGirl Lynn]] defeats the [[BigBad big bad]]'s mooks single-handedly in the field, only [[MissionControl assisted by Sue using their high-tech personal computer from their home]]. Later, Kong successfully defeats the armed robbers [[ElevatorActionSequence inside an elevator]] all by herself while protecting her [[DistressedDude assistant, Siu Ma]].

* ''Film/NakedWeapon'': Forty young girls around the world are abducted and go through [[TrainingFromHell a hellish training]] to become [[ProfessionalKiller professional killers]]. When those [[FemmeFatale future assassins]] are graduated, they're forced to kill each other [[spoiler: although [[BadBoss Madame M]] eventually changes her mind by sparing the three of them]]. The surviving female assassins are seen capable of defeating many males with both their exceptional combat skills and [[ImprobableWeaponUser using any random objects to kill]], such as; using broken sunglasses to stab or slash their target's neck.

In some fiction, however, it seems that being a woman instantly gives you masterful ability in gun-slinging, martial arts, swordplay, or sometimes more. In these settings, almost every major female character is an incredibly dangerous badass who could take on the police and military with their hands tied behind their back, and are far more numerous than the men. While that's not to say that the ass-kicking men are non-existent, they are either secondary characters or just vastly outnumbered. It's far more likely that the men will be a NonActionGuy, tagging along and acting as either MissionControl or [[TheHeart moral support]]. This trop predominantly for Action-Comedy with a tint of DenserAndWackier sequals or [[MaleGaze fan service]] [[Anime/Queen'sBlade media]]
