Comment on In movies a strong woman is manly. (big muscles, aggressive, punches people, etc.) Is that really the way it is?

I agree with you, but I was thinking in terms of aggression and physicality, particularly in Alien 2 and 4. Similarly someone like Clarice Starling is smart and determined but physical prowess and aggresive assertiveness are a core part of her success.

I think Final Girls are probably what OP has in mind when they say determination in movies = physical strength.
