Hot Shots of the Week: Nikita

Starting with the 1990 French film La Femme Nikita, the story of an accidental criminal recruited by her government to become a lethal professional assassin, the property has spun off into two cinematic remakes and two long-lasting television series. Clearly, the property has legs, and those shapely legs belong to the bevy of stunning stars who’ve stepped into the snug outfits and high heels to play the world’s sexiest assassin. Here’s a rundown of Nikitas for this week’s Hot Shots.

Anne Parillaud in the original French film.
Jade Leung in the unofficial Hong Kong action remake Black Cat.
Bridget Fonda in the Hollywood remake Point of No Return.
Peta Wilson in the Canadian television series La Femme Nikita.
Maggie Q in the CW series Nikita.
