He/She Who Gets Slapped
This is very good, but the best repeated-slap of all (starting at 1:21) is self-administered. Anyone can slap anyone else, but when you whack yourself in a fit of self-loathing…watch out. Name the actress and the film. Hint: The self-slapper is being honored tonight at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.
My personal favorite isn’t included. That would be James Cagney‘s one-two-three slap of a bartender in William Wellman ‘s Public Enemy (’31) — choreographed as carefullly as one of Cagney’s dance steps in Yankee Doodle Dandy. First a backhand, then open-handed and downward, and then an upwards backhand on the chin. It starts at 1:15:
I believe that’s Annette Bening in American Beauty.
My personal favorite (and I don’t know if it was on there, if it was I missed it) is Bette Davis slapping Errol Flynn in The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex. Long story behind it but suffice it to say it was a real slap and, as you can see from Flynn’s reaction, he gave serious consideration to returning the favor in spades.
That’s a good one, JLC – Flynn’s reaction is priceless.
I’ve said before, buy my personal favorite “slapper” was Vivien Leigh…she has this crazy wind-up when she slaps Butterfly McQueen in Gone with the Wind – great slap.
Annette Bening’s is epic for sure. One of my favorite scenes of the film.
I love Kurt Russell’s smackdown/slapdown of Billly Bob Thornton in TOMBSTONE.
Shane5 gets my vote.
*Smack* “Skin that smoke wagon and go to work.”
*Smack again* “I said throw down, boy.”
*Smack AGAIN* “You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?”
While you’re at it, maybe you should link to this video:

which clearly shows that your beloved Natali Portman barely did any real dancing herself even thiugh her Oscar campaign is based on the lie that she trained for ages and turned into a great dancer…
That was all nice and good, but where the fuck was Point Blank?
Was Ripley smacking the shit out of Lambert in that montage?
“even thiugh her Oscar campaign is based on the lie that she trained for ages and turned into a great dancer…”
No.
Thanks, Kit Sung! Now that I know that, I’ll COMPLETELY re-evaluate my feelings of “Natali” Portman. (I guess she’s an Arab woman now?)
I mean, until you enlightened us, all of our praise of Ms. Portman’s performance was based entirely on her dancing and had NOTHING to do with her acting.
Who are you, Nicole Kidman?
(BTW)
I get ALL my beer from Schemer Burns.
Susan Sarandon slapping the shit out of a piece of hired muscle in Atlantic City does it for me.
@arispil..It was Lambert who slapped Ripley for refusing to let Dallas, Kane, and herself back on board, right? Great one nonetheless.
Love the waterworld slap – whatatya thinkin’ about?
Sordid Sentinel – Indeed… can’t believe I got that wrong…
How can he forget McQueen slapping up Macgraw in The Getaway
John Witherspoon’s reaction in that video was hilarious
I agree with Kit. Natalie does not deserve the Oscar now
Where was Tony Montana slapping his sister in the restaurant bathroom in “Scarface”? That was a b*tchslap for the ages…
Hackman’s epic slap of Dafoe in Mississippi Burning:
