Well, it depends on what you mean by main protagonists, but
TERMINATOR (1+2) might fit your criterion, as might
BLADERUNNER where 3 of the replicants are women.
STAR WARS actually has a decent role for Princess Leia,
(For instance when Luke bursts into her prison cell, dressed in a
stolen uniform, saying "I'm here to rescue you princess" she
replies "Aren't you a bit short for a storm trooper?" and essentially
rescues herself.)
