5 Times Zoe Saldana Kicked A** and Looked Good Doing It

On June 19, the talented and beautiful Zoe Saldana turns 36.

With her birthday at hand, and her role as the sexy super-assassin Gamora -- "The Most Dangerous Woman In The World" -- headed our way on August 1 with the release of Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy, it only seemed right to take a look back at all the times Zoe has kicked serious a** while looking drop-dead gorgeous.

Zoe Saldana in a skin-tight body suit? Check. Zoe Saldana capping bad guys with a giant sniper-rifle? Check. Zoe Saldana winning our hearts by kicking a** and taking no prisoners? Double check.

Colombiana has the actress in the role of Cataleya, a young woman who after witnessing her parents' murder as a child in Bogota grows up to be a stone-cold assassin.

It's a scientifically proven fact that when a girl is a pirate, she is both incredibly bada** and also 100% sexier. Don't ask me why, I'm not a scientist. All I know is, the math adds up. I am also not a mathematician.

In this 2003 Pirates film, Zoe plays the sexy Anamaria.

Intelligence is sexy, and form-fitting leather outfits are too. In Star Trek Into Darkness, Zoe has both! Plus, as the character Uhura, she knows her way around a sci-fi future gun and she's not afraid to stand up to Klingons.

Not much is needed outside of this photo to explain how it might be Zoe's hottest butt-kicking scene of all time. In the 2010 film, her character Aisha is literally having sex with Jeffrey Dean Morgan while trying to murder him.

Blue, 14-feet tall, good with a knife and dressed in only scraps of cloth? It's like James Cameron found my hidden, secret dream journal and threw hundreds of millions of dollars into making it come true.

In the 2009 blockbuster, Zoe plays the sexy blue Pandora native Neytiri.
