Re: [Frameworks] Movies w/girls fighting
Pam Grier fight with the razor blade afro in Coffy is clearly a must see. Also for her WIP films, I also suggest white mama, black mama. + Roger Corman's Sorority Girl (1957) has some scenes you might like.

Re: [Frameworks] Movies w/girls fighting
There is indeed a quite spectacular cat fight in 'Coffy', where Pam Grier puts razor blades into her Afro hair and provokes a girl. The rest you can probably imagine. Best, Maikel I imagine Russ Meyer has quite a few films with female fights. I'd suggest looking at Pam Grier's 1970s films like Big Bird Cage (one of the many women in prison exploitation genre films you might want to explore via IMDB) or Coffy Foxy Brown, although I think those two films might feature more of her fighting men. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] Movies w/girls fighting
also of interest, women fighting in general. The opening of Fuller's 'Naked Kiss' (woman/man, not woman/woman, but amazing as filmmaking and gender representation) several with women in fight competition: The Next Karate Kid Girl Fight Million Dollar Baby The whole 'babe's kick ass' subgenre of action movies (and TV). Most of these have the women fighting men or non-human creatures, rather than other women. (I'm sure there are scenes of woman/woman combat in the genre, though none come immediately to mind...) The 'Buffyverse' The Resident Evil franchise Dark Angel (TV) Deathproof Transporter II Salt, Tomb Raider, Mr. and Mrs. Smith... Angelina Jolie movies in general etc., etc., -- I'm assuming when you said 'young girls' (which I would take to mean elementary school age) you meant 'young women' (adolescents) c.f. the real-life incidents of hazing and beatings in roughly the 13-17 age bracket. But I can't think of any examples of either off the top of my head... (Is there a fight scene in 'Girl Interupted'?

Re: [Frameworks] Movies w/girls fighting
I beleive there's one of adolescents fighting in Thirteen For adult women: there's a long comic tradition in classic Hollywood films of catfights which are almost always for amusement of male onlookers; you could track them down with IMDb's keyword feature. A classic example: Dance GIrl Dance (d. Dorothy Arzner) A recent interation: Bandidas with Salma Heyek and Penelope Cruz For women fighting (often with women) there's a very substantial Asian lineage of warrior women. Perhaps the best example of that would be Heroic Trio (Vastly superior to Crouching Tiger, IMHO) There are many recent articles and even books on the Warrior Woman ripe, easily researched with a Google search Many women in prison films have such sequences.

Re: [Frameworks] Movies w/girls fighting
Not sure where to start! I'm sure theres quite a few but some recent ones off the top of my head would be: Tokyo Gore Police Mean Girls D.E.B.S. Jennifers Body Kick Ass All very different but depends on where you are coming from and how young you had in mind! It's been a long time since I've seen carrie but I can't imagine it doesn't have some kind of fighting scene, phenomena maybe, I might be stretching things a bit on those last two. Do the scenes in the exorcist count? What about heathers, not seen it in a scary number of years so maybe it was all more psychological stuff. I honestly can't remember that much about it now beyond a few images in my head and Christian Slater pulling strange faces... love Freya --- On Mon, 11/28/11, Shelly Silver silver...@earthlink.net wrote: From: Shelly Silver silver...@earthlink.net Subject: Re: [Frameworks] Movies w/girls fighting To: Experimental Film Discussion List frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Date: Monday, November 28, 2011, 7:42 PM thanks all! these suggestions are all great (ea in their own way) best,shelly On Nov 28, 2011, at 2:29 PM, Chuck Kleinhans wrote: I beleive there's one of adolescents fighting in Thirteen For adult women: there's a long comic tradition in classic Hollywood films of catfights which are almost always for amusement of male onlookers; you could track them down with IMDb's keyword feature.
