A lone hero kicking the stuffing out of two dozen bad guys is usually the pinnacle of every action movie ever made. Lately, the lone hero is often a girl, which makes the scenes even more amazing. This has ledto some epic female vs male fights that completely redefine the battle of the sexes. In fact, it has almost become a staple of any action movie worth its salt. Let’s see which ones are the best.
Contents
Movie: Kingsman
Fighters: Gazelle vs Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Sofia Butella vs Taron Egerton)
Eggsy almost lost the fights against Gazelle, a supervillain with prosthetic legs.
Movie: Mortal Kombat
Fighters: Sonya Blade vs Kano (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras vs Trevor Goddard)
Sonya Blade shows no mercy in this fight scene from the 90’s classic Mortal Combat.
Movie: Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Jane Smith vs John Smith (Angelina Jolie vs Brad Pitt)
The Smith’s take marital violence to a whole new level.
Movie: Star Wars VII The Force Awakens
Rey vs Kylo Ren (Daisy Ridley vs Adam Driver)
Nothing like a lightsaber duel between cousins.
Movie: Atomic Blonde
Atomic Blonde vs Everyone (Charlize Theron)
Charlize Theron is no stranger to action flicks, but in Atomic Blonde, as a female version of Jason Bourne, she really takes it to the next level.
Movie: Daredevil
Daredevil vs Elektra (Ben Affleck vs Jennifer Garner)
Daredevil is one of Ben Affleck’s worst movies (and he had a few really bad ones), but the fight scene between Electra and Daredevil almost makes it worth watching. Almost.
Movie: Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman vs the Nazis (Gal Gadot)
The added bonus to this glorious scene is the fact that Gal Gadot, a Jewish girl, is kicking Nazi butts all over the place.
Movie: Deadpool
Colossus vs Angel Dust (CGI vs Gina Carano)
Colossus learned the hard way that when facing formidable and unscrupulous fighter like Angel Dust, it doesn’t pay to be a gentleman.
Movie: Kick-Ass
Hit-Girl vs Goons (Chloë Grace Moretz)
It is truly amazing what a 12-year old girl with purple hear and two guns can accomplish in terms of graphic violence when she sets her mind to it.
Movie: Logan
Laura (X-23) vs Reavers (Dafne Keen)
A little girl with an attitude and Wolverine abilities shredding to pieces a squad of Reavers is most definitely the most epic female vs male fight in movie history.
