Remember in Passenger 57 when Wesley Snipes character said, “Always bet on Black!” Don’t front, it got you hyped. Blacks have been getting their action hero on in films for years now and our peeps at the Urban Daily put together a list of the top 10. Although when you think of action hero flicks and their stars, you tend to think about women, we were quite happy with selection numero three.

 3) Pam Grier: The woman who helped put female action heroes—of any color—on the map has undoubtedly cemented her place on this list. Fearless, Hot, and smart, Grier’s bold attitude matches her still emulated wardrobe, all of which that has made her an institution. Much respect.

See the rest of these amazing Black action heroes over at The Urban Daily.
