Line 67:
* ''[[Ever After (film)|Ever After]]'': Prince Henry is fascinated by the way "Nicole" climbs trees, swims alone, and is strong enough to hoist him over her shoulders.
* In [[Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension]], the alternate universe version of Candace faces off against an entire swarm of [[Mecha-Mooks]] at one point, while wielding only a [[Simple Staff]]. [[Curb Stomp Battle|She utterly demolishes the robots in a matter of seconds]], prompting this bit of dialogue:

Line 76:
* [[Vorkosigan Saga|Cordelia Vorkosigan]] gained her husband in the midst of a war by impressing him with both her brain and her martial prowess. Droushnakovi is a female martial artist whose husband is not the least bit intimidated by her still and instead finds her skill attractive. Elli Quinn and Elena Bothari, of the Dendarii Free Mercenaries also gain male attention not just for their looks but for their physical aptitude as well.
* Black Sheba in ''[[The Pyrates]]'' is this trope turned up to eleven and poured into a leopardskin tracksuit.
{{quote|
* ''[[Honor Harrington]]'' and half the women in the series. It is implied that an excess of amazon-ness is possibly the only thing that is particularly attractive about Iris Babcock, it is certainly what first impressed the man she eventually married. Thandi Palane is not only a Hot Amazon, she leads an entire Hot [[Amazon Brigade]] in the Honorverse.
* Taizu, from [[C. J. Cherryh]]'s ''[[The Paladin (novel)|The Paladin]]'', becomes this, at least in her mentor Shoka's opinion. Most other men seem to follow the [[No Guy Wants an Amazon]] trope.
Line 95:
* ''[[Chuck]]'' [[Bodyguard Crush|has strong feelings for his femme fatale CIA bodyguard]], who is a master martial artist with [[Knife Nut|a thing for throwing knives]].
* Agent Ziva David from ''[[NCIS]]''. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in one episode where two nerdish kids get arrested, and Ziva and DiNozzo try some psychological warfare on them.
{{quote|
''"Yeah? She looked kinda hot actually."'' }}
* Explosives-loving ex-terrorist Fiona from ''[[Burn Notice]]'', although her partner/love interest Michael is certainly skilled enough to keep up with her.
* Deputy Josefina "Jo" Lupo from ''[[Eureka]]'' certainly fits this trope. According to the show, she holds the all-time Army Ranger's marksmanship record. Not to mention this particular quote from the second episode of the third season.
{{quote|
'''Jo:''' I've been waiting for someone to say that to me my whole life.<br />
''Meaningful smiles at each other'' }}
Line 105:
** Never mind ''after'' giving birth, she was firing her gun ''while'' giving birth because it "Made her feel better"!
* ''[[Firefly]]'': Wash, a [[Non-Action Guy|geeky pilot]] who [[Adult Child|plays with dinosaurs]], is [[Happily Married]] to Zoe, [[Action Girl|former career soldier]] and current first mate on ''Serenity'', despite (and [[Opposites Attract|possibly because of]]) the fact that she's a gun-toting warrior who could kill him seven ways with her pinky, while the closest he's ever gotten to a firefight is having been "fired from a fry cook opportunity".
{{quote|
* Teyla Emmagan from ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' certainly qualifies.
** And Samantha Carter from ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. Jack O'Neill falls head over heels.
Line 118:
== Music ==
* Alt-country singer/songwriter Kevin Welch has a great song, "Hill Country Girl," that exemplifies this trope. Lyrics snippet:
{{quote|
''My woman's 'bout six feet tall''
''She comes from down in Texas''
''She's got my number, y'all''
''Yeah, she's a flash of lightning''
''Yeah, she's got x-ray eyes''
''Man, she can see right through you''
''Don't trouble with your disguise'' }}
Line 193:
* ''[[Dream Tales]]'' has a bunch of comics featuring Hot Amazons (is there any other kind?), and you can choose between [http://www.dreamtalescomics.com/Blog/category/mini-giantess/ Mini Giantesses] or the more generous-sized [http://www.dreamtalescomics.com/Blog/category/giantess/ Giantesses.]
* Zoë from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' gets a moment of this in [http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20110907 this strip].
{{quote|
'''Torg:''' You're so hot right now. }}
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' Susan aka "[[Straw Feminist|the angry feminist chick]]" looks more than fine, but Matt, the president of student council, [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2012-03-06 evidently got a crush] on her due to [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-07-14 being impressed] by her [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-03-21 roaring at him and the principal] over the new dress code. Whether he's [[Yes-Man|too tame]] for her, time will tell.
Line 213:
* ''[[Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure|Bill and Ted's]] [[Animated Adaptation|Excellent Adventures]]'' cast Venus de Milo (she of the armless statue) of one of these. That weird little guy with the spear was entranced with her, at least. Bill and Ted were suitably impressed before she began trying to kill them. Judging by the amount of closeups of [[Amazonian Beauty|her]] arms flexing and breaking stuff, the [[Author Appeal|authors]] were fans of this trope.
* In ''[[Futurama]]'', there is an entire planet of hot [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|twelve feet tall]] [[Amazonian Beauty|amazons]].
{{quote|
* While [[Generator Rex|Dr. Holiday]] rarely throws down outside of her [[Mama Bear]] tendencies, there was a particularly epic moment she got where she saved Agent Six and Rex by rapid-firing at a huge monster, driving it back. Six's gobsmacked expression said it all.
{{quote|
'''Rex''': ''Yeah''. }}
** This also seemed to be the point where Six started returning Holiday's UST for him.
