In honor of Rihanna making a splashy debut in the ocean-bound blockbuster "Battleship," we're locked, loaded and counting down some of the sexiest screen sirens to handle monster weapons.

That's right, we're bringing out the big guns, in more ways than one, as these scorching hot ladies show us a thing or two about proper marksmanship.

Possibly the most frequent female badass of the 21st century, Rodriguez is usually cast as some type of fighter or soldier who often meets a grizzly end. She joined the Robert Rodriguez Kick-Ass Chick Ensemble Company as Luz, an ally of Danny Trejo's former Mexican Federale, but her taco truck hero lives to fight another day in the sequel.20th Century Fox]]> We want to be under her umbrella when invading aliens take to the high seas, especially since she seems pretty capable with a boat-mounted mini-gun. The singer makes her film debut as Petty Officer Second Class Cora Raikes aboard the USS John Paul Jones, and we can't wait to see her bust a move, and some caps.

Universal]]> Brangelina's forbidden, adulterous love on the set of this comedy actioner was no doubt spurred on by the huge amount of gunplay. After all, power rifles are the greatest aphrodisiac. The topper is the scene inside the Smith household, where she goes after her husband with a pair of massive machine guns as a prelude to hot make-up sex.

Summit]]> Hanoi Jane earned herself a permanent place in the sexual fantasies of a generation of horny young sci-fi fans with this campy flick based on Jean-Claude Forest's French "Barbarella" comics. She blasts bad guys with ray guns while flying on the wings of an angel, and sheds a lot of clothing in the process. Who could ask for more?

Everett Collection]]> Smokin' hot Mendes was able to get a piece of the action in the second part of this predominantly boys' club franchise as Monica Fuentes, a U.S. Customs agent; she's working undercover as aide to an Argentinan drug lord that fugitive LAPD cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) is trying to infiltrate. He's also trying to infiltrate Monica …

Universal]]> This adaptation of Elmore Leonard's book had Steven Soderbergh as a commercial director and George Clooney as a formidable star, but Lopez was the sexiest screen attraction. As U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco, she's good with a shotgun, but comes down with a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome after a cozy ride in a car trunk with Clooney's bank robber.

Universal]]> The cute redhead gets an "Easy A" on her marksmanship, taking out one zombie after another in this post-apocalyptic comedy. This summer she needs Peter Parker to come to her rescue, but back in the day all she needed was a pump-action shotgun to get the job done.

Columbia Pictures]]> With its flamethrower, grenade launcher, and digital bullet-counter that starts in the hundreds, the Colonial Marine pulse rifle Ripley bears in the Alien hive turns the famously pacifist Weaver into "Rambo for a day." Director James Cameron amped up Ripley's heroism without sacrificing her protective feminine nature, and Weater snagged an unprecedented Oscar nomination for a sci-fi fantasy role.

20th Century Fox]]> Her trigger finger is itchy to kill some infected zombie scumbags at a genetic research facility controlled by the mega-evil Umbrella Corporation. Jovovich would not only get to play video game heroine Alice in a neverending parade of sequels, but also snagged a husband and muse in the form of director Paul W.S. Anderson.

Screen Gems]]> The British beauty that brings the "sex" to sexagenarian got to show what she was made of as a retired Black Ops assassin opposite Bruce Willis in this high-octane comic book adaptation. She takes down a slew of bodyguards with a Heckler & Koch MP5K submachine gun, all before her afternoon tea.

Summit]]> Being an amputee stripper may seem like a handicap, but in the sordid mind of auteur extraordinaire Robert Rodriguez, it's just an opportunity for an upgrade. McGowan's Cherry Darling brandishes a M4 Carbine with a M203 grenade launcher attachment in place of her wooden leg and uses it to wipe out a whole army of zombies single, uh, leggedly.

Dimension Films]]> Kunis is "That '70s Gunslinger" in this overblown video game adaptation. To play her Russian assassin character Mona Sax, she learned how to disassemble and rebuild an MP5K blindfolded.

20th Century Fox]]> How the daughter of one of the fugliest movie directors of all time, Dario Argento, turned out to be one of the most sizzling hot Italians in the world is beyond us, but we loved her as the pistol-packin' paramour of Vin Diesel's extreme sports spy Xander Cage.

Columbia Pictures]]> Yeah, she was the 9-foot-tall warrior woman in "Avatar," but when her father is killed by a Colombian drug lord, she doesn't get blue -- she gets even in this Luc Besson-produced shoot-'em-up. Trained as an assassin since childhood, Cataleya mows down the bad guys with some firearms that look bigger than her.

TriStar]]> Before this tall Amazonian beauty was the "Flavor of Love," she was one of the tastiest models in the world and Sly Stallone's main squeeze. Probably her best-known role is in this sequel, where she's the head of The Beverly Hills Gun Club when not moonlighting as a bank robber.

Paramount]]>

In all the films of this series, Beckinsale's Selene sprays bullets at Lycan, vampire and human alike as if she's watering rose bushes with a garden hose. Her weapon of choice is typically two big ol' handguns John Woo-style, but occasionally she'll fancy a machine gun as well. When you're that hot in a skintight body glove, you can do whatever you want.Screen Gems]]> As Mai Linh, the primary accomplice and main squeeze of Timothy Olyphant's cyber-terrorist, Maggie proves deadly capable with a machine gun, but of course is no match for Bruce Willis' supercop John McClane, who takes her out with minimum fuss.

Lucasfilm]]> It's hard to stand out in a movie in which nearly every female character is some kind of scantily clad, gun-toting hooker or stripper, but Dawson packs some serious heat as prostitute ringleader Gail. She holds that giant Uzi of hers extra tight.

Michael Vartan is probably best known for his role opposite Jennifer Garner on TV's "Alias," but the affable French-born actor has made an impression on the big screen in movies like "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar," "Never Been Kissed," "One Hour Photo" and "Monster-in-Law." In the exciting French-American action film "Colombiana," on DVD and Blu-ray this week, Vartan has a sexually charged but emotionally distant relationship with an assassin played by Zoe Saldana.

We chatted up Vartan about all sex and no gunplay for his character in "Colombiana," how he feels about the way "Alias" wrapped up, and the skills involved in picking up his future wife in a Whole Foods parking lot.

Your "Colombiana" character, Danny, knows Cataleya (Saldana) as "Jennifer" and is always trying to get to know her better. Although it wasn't discussed in the movie, how do you think you two met and arrived at this relationship where she just stops by for sex and leaves?
That's a good question and a question that Olivier [Megaton, the director] and I pondered several times. The general consensus was they possibly met in a dive bar in Chicago or New Orleans or wherever their lives could have possibly intersected. It was literally a carnal thing because it's clear from her line of work that she doesn't have much time for R&R. She's still a human being and still enjoys the opposite sex and wants to feel alive in that department, so we decided it was one of those flash encounters. There was nothing scripted out. These two hooked up because they have insane chemistry together.

Saldana kicks everyone's ass in "Colombiana," but she has such a thin frame. When you were around her on set, did she seem tough?
Zoe's definitely petite when you see her in a T-shirt and gym shorts. She's muscular thin, but still quite thin. The first time I met her was at the gym in the hotel in Chicago, and I saw this slight frame from across the room and when she turned around I thought, oh really? She's going to kick all of this ass? Then when I got within three feet of her, there is an essence about her -- I don't know if it's the look in her eye or that she was already getting into character a little bit -- but there was an element of "do not mess with this girl." Zoe has that vibe about her, and you don't want to go there with the character Cataleya.

I was totally surprised and completely impressed when I saw the movie, because her one fight scene toward the end is one of the best I've seen in any action movie. It's so violent and looks so animal, and I couldn't believe it was her! People were taken aback by how physical she could be. She sold it, for sure.

Columbia Pictures

Are all those tattoos that we see in your sex scenes with Saldana real?
They are real and personal tattoos, mostly family stuff like things that symbolize my father and grandmother. I was thrilled that for the first time in many years I had a part where they said, "Keep the tattoos. It looks good." Thank God, because the thing about covering up tattoos is that it is almost impossible -- it takes so long -- and the last thing you want to do as a guy is get up even earlier and spend another hour in the makeup chair. It was nice to not have to hide them this time.

Danny never gets involved in any of the gunplay or fight scenes in "Colombiana." Were you itching to do so, or were you content letting Saldana play shoot 'em up?
No, no. I was itching big-time. The minute we wrapped, I said, "Come on ... sequel. Danny becomes a bad guy and starts shooting everyone." Ultimately, the reason I took this part was, first, because they offered it to me. As an actor, unless you're Brad Pitt, you go where you are wanted. I got to be part of this really cool, kick-ass movie. I loved the backdrop of the cartel, which was always fascinating to me. [Cowriter] Luc Besson is the bomb when it comes to this genre. He's French, I was born in France, so there are a lot of elements that were attractive to me. Obviously, I'm a dude and would like to shoot a gun and be a part of the action, but sometimes you just have to do your job.

The tagline for "Colombiana" is "Revenge is beautiful." Do you agree?
I guess it depends who you are taking revenge on! Well, probably not. Maybe sometimes it's necessary, but beautiful? Probably not.

Do you think Danny ever sees or connects with Cataleya after the end credits?
I really do think that this movie open itself nicely to a sequel. Danny could be a plant or someone who is gaining her trust -- there are so many way they could go about it. If this was the end of it, I would say he probably would never see her again. The only way he would see her again is if she wanted to see him. He would have no way of getting in touch with her if she didn't want him to.

Are you happy with the way your "Alias" character Michael Vaughn ended his run? We last saw him with Sydney, and he was married with children and semi-retired.
Yeah. As crazy as that show was, it was always going to be a challenge to wrap it up. As far as my character goes, of course he ended up married and retired, because he never had a hair out of place and ate apple pie and ice cream all of those years. He was the quintessential all-American, "I want my daughter to marry that dude" character. It makes perfect sense that he would ride off into the sunset with his wife and 2.2 kids. There was nothing hiding in the closet about that character at all.

How scary were your scenes with an unhinged Robin Williams in "One-Hour Photo" in which he interrupts your sexy time with a knife?
The biggest challenge in that movie was keeping a straight face. It's not what happened on camera that was challenging, it's what happened between takes. The Robin Williams we know and love from all of his comic appearances is how he is in real life -- it's not an act. So we're shooting a scene with a knife at my throat and I'm totally naked with this young actress whom I literally met that day, as if that isn't awkward enough. In between takes, Robin Williams is cracking jokes about my penis size because the air conditioning is on. I said, "Dude, you might have seven brains and can switch in and out of characters with grace and ease, but I cannot go from tears of laughter to intense fear in 8.3 milliseconds. You have to settle down!"

It was a fun atmosphere considering the movie itself is kind of dark. Robin was so creepy in that movie, and he literally went from that character to who he is in real life instantly. I have such admiration for that, as well as jealousy and disgust because I wish I could do it.

Columbia Pictures

You recently married your wife after meeting her in a Whole Foods parking lot. How does one strike up a romance over groceries?
I saw her in the store and I tried to jockey myself by her in the express lane, but I had no idea what I was going to say or do. That didn't work, so I said to myself, if you see her in the parking lot you owe it to yourself to go up and say hi because life's too short, seize the day and all that crap. I don't remember exactly what I said, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't that eloquent or seductive because her response was, "No, I don't feel comfortable giving you my number." She did take my e-mail address, and we kind of had a pen-pal relationship for a while. The rest is history, I guess!

Where can fans see you next?
I've got two movies in the can that I'm hoping will eventually come out. One is called "Demoted" and the other is called "High School." I was on "Hawthorne" on TNT, but that just cancelled a few months ago, so I'm very much looking forward to pilot season and maybe working on a new show. That's the great thing about being an actor: You lose a job and it's scary because you don't have that stability of paycheck to paycheck, but that means another window opens. It sounds so corny, but it's really true. I could be a bank robber or an astronaut next. There are so many possibilities, and that is always interesting.

TriStar

After she made a huge splash in James Cameron's "Avatar," it was only a matter of time before Zoe Saldana got to headline her own potential franchise --and though she may not be seeing blue anymore, she is seeing red. Saldana has hooked up with certified action-ologist Luc Besson for the producer's latest high-octane blast to the face, "Colombiana."

In a nod to Besson's earlier films "La Femme Nikita" and "The Professional," Saldana plays Cataleya Restrepo, a hardcore assassin doing some extracurricular work taking out the bad guys who killed her parents. If you want to see the action for yourself, we've got six clips in the chamber, locked and loaded, ready to fire.

1. It's common knowledge that if don't wash your hands after using the restroom, Zoe Saldana will appear and kick you in the face.

2. Emilio (Cliff Curtis) has a heart-to-heart talk with Cataleya about the terrible, troubling things she's been doing to her laundry.

3. Apparently, avid diver James Cameron taught Saldana how to communicate with sharks and get them to do her bidding.

4. It's so like a S.W.A.T. team to ruin a perfectly good opportunity for phone sex.

5. All the strategy and pep talks in the world won't stop a freakin' missile.

6. You see, this cat Saldana is a bad mother--. (Shut your mouth). But I'm talkin' about Saldana. (Then we can dig it.)

TriStar]]> Not a leg man? Not a problem. Cherry Darling (McGowan) ditches her shapely gam for a big gun that packs an even bigger kick. Sure, it's might hurt her stripping career. But in a world infested with "Sickos" (flesh-eating zombies), the flesh trade is a dying industry, so arming your leg just might save your life.

Dimension]]> This model turned actress has made a career of looking hot and glamorous while single-handedly butchering thousands upon thousands of people and zombies in a variety of dystopian futures and historical slaughterhouses ('The Fifth Element', 'Utraviolet', 'The Messenger'). Mass murder has never been so pret-a-porter.

Screen Gems]]> Since "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider," Jolie has been playing action stars with a grace and intensity no other actress in Hollywood can touch. But in "Wanted," she takes it to a whole next level, contorting her body and bending her gunshots in superhuman feats of dexterity that blow away the competition.

Universal]]> When Ripley (Weaver) and her fellow intergalactic truck drivers pick up exactly the kind of hitchhiker your parents always warned you about (double mouth full of fangs, razor tail, bleeds acid, etc.) only she and her gnarly '80s perm are a match for movie history's rudest, extraterrestrial freeloader.

20th Century Fox]]> Some actresses look sexy doing anything. And this campy Western's main appeal is that it happens to have two of them (Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek) running around Mexico in bustiers and bullet belts. Cruz plays a noble bank robber with an itchy trigger finger... and a way of making one forget what else happens in the movie.

20th Century Fox]]> Keanu Reeves might be "The One" in this sci-fi mind-bender. But it's Trinity (Moss), the super-slick virtual operative in black, who steals the show by running on walls while armed to the teeth, or suspending herself in midair for dramatic effect before kicking some lowly mortal clear across the room.

Warner Bros.]]> Sarah Connor (Hamilton) left all previous female action stars in the dust when she teamed up with the robot assassin known as The Terminator (who strongly resembled former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger) and then birthed the future savior of the world. Hard to beat that.

TriStar]]> When Mike Myers needed a British bird who would embody all the shagadelic attributes of 60's-era spy babes, there was really only one choice: Hurley. On a side note, female secret agents aren't wearing nearly enough silver go-go outfits these days.

New Line]]> There's something about how Fonda looked completely awkward holding a ridiculous, futuristic laser that, in its own way, is sexy -- or at least really cute. On an epic quest to save the galaxy from evil in the year 40,000, Barbarella manages to outlast an orgasm machine, survive killer birds and lose her clothes with alarming regularity.

Paramount]]> Jinx's (Berry) bikini-clad entrance pays homage to -- and just might upstage -- Ursula Andress' classic ocean emersion from 1962's "Dr. No." But Berry doesn't just look amazing: She can also hold her own next to James Bond, taking out super villains like only the sexiest of spies can (It's a scientific fact that a spy's deadliness is in equal proportion to his/her sexiness).

MGM]]> When the Earth takes a decidedly dark turn following an unfortunate zombie outbreak, Jesse Eisenberg is lucky enough to run into, and get duped by, the lovely Emma Stone. Using her younger sister to tug on her mark's heartstrings, this gun-toting con artist adapts to a rapidly changing world economy, where, if you don't use your brain, the zombies will.

Columbia]]> Just so we're clear, there are no U.S. Immigration and Customs agents that look this good working the Mexican border. It's a movie, so certain liberties are taken. Jessica Alba might not even be able to fire a handgun in real life... We're just putting that out there so that no one tries to cross the border illegally for the wrong reasons.

20th Century Fox]]> Just so we're clear again, there are no undercover U.S. Customs agents that look this good working the Florida coast. Again, it's a movie, so certain liberties are taken. We're just putting that out there -- AGAIN -- so that no one tries to enter the U.S. illegally for the wrong reasons. Apparently, the role of "Sexy U.S. Customs Agent" was a "thing" last decade.

Universal]]> In this recent action comedy, Saldana plays Aisha, a mysterious badass who promises a team of prodigal Special Forces amnesty if they go on an impossible mission. Saldana shows off some hot moves and makes a machine gun look like a fashion accessory in this explosive sleeper.

Warner Bros.]]> It was a true-life story that Hollywood couldn't pass up: the daughter of a movie star who aspired to be a model but ended up a bounty hunter. And Knightley wears the hard-ass attitude and ammunition belts like she's the real deal.

New Line]]> No one can infuse a movie scene with sexuality like Johansson, and in this Michael Bay sci-fi epic, the one question on moviegoers' minds as they walked out of the theater was: Sooo... they just cloned one of her?

Warner Bros.]]> Retreating into her violent, anachronistic imagination, Babydoll (Browning) escapes the horrors of the sanitarium that cages her. Delusionally donning an ill-fitting schoolgirl uniform, this unapologetically objectified blonde polishes off her inner CGI demons with a gun in one hand and a samurai sword in the other.

Warner Bros.]]> Do you love Alicia Keys' soulful songs, smooth voice and gorgeous face, but wish that she was also a sexy assassin? Well, we've got the movie for you! In this hard-hitting action thriller, Keys is pitch perfect (music pun) as a leather-clad hit woman on assignment in Vegas.

Universal]]> Who says killing is a young lady's pastime? In this rambunctious action comedy, Mirren might soon need assisted living, but she sure doesn't need assisted killing. One foot in the grave? More like one foot on her victim's throat.

EuropaCorp.

While watching Zoe Saldana fire machine guns, kick armored guards out a window and smash a clueless stoner's head into a table in the new trailer for "Colombiana,"  (debuting on Yahoo) you realize the woman must be entirely comprised of muscle. Seriously, she's what, 5' 7"? 5' 8"? Thin as a stick, but she can take down beefed up baddies a few heads taller than her with a swift roundhouse kick to the neck.

You can't pull that off after only a few rounds on the elliptical. She's the real deal.

"Colombiana" is the latest from mastermind Luc Besson, the one-man action movie factory that brought us "La Femme Nikita," "The Professional," "The Transporter," "Unleashed," "Taken" and "From Paris with Love."

The film stars Saldana as an assassin bent on revenge against the people who murdered her family when she was a little girl. Remember the animated portion of Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill?" It's just like that.

The trailer doesn't give too many plot details away, letting the explosive action and Saldana's limber body doing most of the talking. Similarly to last year's "The Losers," Saldana puts herself in the middle of the action -- but takes a much needed break halfway through to strip down to her undies and wrap herself around an equally cut man. That man, in the case of "Colombiana," is "Alias"-vet Michael Vartan, making a rare appearance on the big screen.

"Colombiana" may not dig too deep into his characters, but like most of Besson's work, it should prove to be an adrenaline-infused, good time at the movies. Directed by Olivier Megaton, who helmed the third installment of the "Transporter" series and will take the reigns on "Taken 2," "Colombiana" is slated to hit theaters September 2 -- and you can get your first look right now.
