Film Slaps in the Face

[Ace]

A topic that is always fun. I'll start with;

James Cagney slapping the bar attendant in The Public Enemy.
I also like Jack Nicholson's slapping scene with Faye Dunaway in Chinatown.
And in Con Air, Nicolas Cage is about to punch the drag queen, thinks for a second, then gives him a slap instead.

You know the score.....add yer own favourites !wink!

and 3 more classic 'slaps'........
Paul Sorvino and his copious "friendly" slappings in Goodfellas.
The Deer Hunter Russian Roulette scene, where the sadistic Vietcong guard is constantly slapping DeNiro and yelling ?Mao!?
Don Corleone slapping Johnny Fontaine in The Godfather, telling him 'to be a man'

Maria Aitken felling John Cleese with a fine slap in A Fish Called Wanda.

[Pervert]

Check out Charlize Theron and Teri Hatcher's fight in Three (Two?) Days In The Valley. Ouch!

Kyle Mclachlan whopping Isabella Rossellini several stingers across the face in Blue Velvet and disturbingly..she likes it....Kinky!

[hattertim]

Angie Dickinson attempting to slap Lee Marvin in "Point Blank"...and then falling over as Lee just stands there and takes it without even flinching...top scene, top movie.

You could hardly do better than the orgy of slapping in Airplane when all the passengers lined up to take their turns at slapping (or whatever)the hysterical woman.
In movies, hysterical women were always slapped - whether they said, "Thanks, I needed that," or not.


Oh, Sidney Poitier slapping the bigot land owner in The Heat of ther Night is a classic.............some cinemas in Ol' Dixie had to cut that scene out for fear of reprisals

[andy at handiwork]

In the Heat of the Night was shot in Illinois rather than the deep south, but even in the liberal North I heard that the local sherriff came round to the production office to enquire as to why Sidney Poitier and Rod Stiger were staying in the same hotel.

How times change; Mississippi Burning was shot in the towns in the South that the movie's incidents happened in.

[intrigued]

these are all well and good, but ask yourselves this... do ANY of these slaps match the thwacking quality of several slapping rounds of Pat vs Peggy in Eastenders?
