Best woman fight in a movie?

I was just re-watching The Women the other day, and I have to say that Rosalind Russell and Paulette Goddard had a damned fine knock-down drag-out bitch fight. I always envied Roz for taking such a good bite out of Paulette’s leg; Paulette always annoyed the hell out of me and I felt it was well-deserved.

What are some other memorable cat-fights?

Kill Bill has a good one, with lots of blood and gore. The Bride and One Eye are fighting inside the trailer. At the end, The Bride plucks out the remaining eye and stomps on it. Pretty cool.

I almost forgot. Snow White (with Sigourney Weaver) has a good fight. Snow and the Evil Stepmonster knock the shit out of each other.

Maroc 7, a B-movie spy thriller from the '60s. The woman-fight scene was exploitative, of course, but did capture on film some real raw female energy.

as cheesy as it was, I liked Charlie’s Angels Full Thottle
Lucy, Cameron, & Drew against Demi - and that trashed stage

SteveG1 is right; the fight between The Bride and One Eye in Kill Bill wins.

Second place: The Bride vs. Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox) in Kill Bill.

Sorry, but the hotel room fight between Charlize Theron and Terri Hatcher in “2 Days in the Valley” involved two premiere hotties, with Charlize in a skintight white catsuit, and it was EXTREMELY rough. I can’t remember anything ELSE about the movie but I remember that fight. (The Kill Bill fight was way too stylized to be effective.)

I third the fight between the Bride and One Eye in Kill Bill v2. Amazing fight…it’s just so RAW.

Might have to pop in the DVD just for that scene. :slight_smile:

Did anyone else notice that Daryl Hanna did the same death at the end of this scene that she did in Blade Runner?

The two Girl Scouts having a bar fight in Airplane!

I agree, great catfight.

I agree with Walloon. It just went on and on and on…in a funny way.

The two moms in The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, the fight in the HQ between Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Xiyi, 2 of my favorite asian hotties doing battle!!!

and I agree with the bride vrs one eye, and yeah the Blade Runner death was just as creepy the second time around, at least til it hits you where you have seen it.

You mean the one which was an excuse for Yeoh to show how to use all those weapons? Yes, that was way cool.

“Destry Rides Again” has a classic bar-room brawl between two women!

From Russia With Love, the second Bond movie, features two Gypsy women fighting over Bond. There wasn’t a winner, though, because before a clear-cut winner could emerge, the [Bulgarian?] army crashed the party.

They probably heard there was a catfight going on!

This is the one that came to mind immediately. I remember Charlize all in white, but other than the fight, it’s a blur. James Spader has some good moments as a slimeball, something he does quite well. But that fight is spectacular and raw.

Ooh, I forgot about that one! Good call. Marlene Dietrich and Una Merkel duke it out in a very believable slug-fest. Marlene in particular looks like she’s had a lot of experience kicking keesters. I can’t remember if Marlene wins or if it was broken up prematurely by James Stewart dumping mop water all over them.

Pretty sure Jimmy has to pour water on them – not that that stops Dietrich, as she just redirects her aims at him instead. Only thing better than a catfight is one involving water. :wink:
