re: #27 Scottish Dragon

That is what I appreciated about how the long fight scene in Atomic Blonde was laid out. She is trained, and so are the male antagonists. She avoids getting into protracted slug matches where upper body strength works against her and she uses her legs, lower body (and things like hot plates, part of a disassembled SVD sniper rifle, a corkscrew etc) and when she gets a guy down, she tries to move on with her mission and escape.

Also, the movie is not shy about showing just how much damage she takes.

And it also has a scene where she doesn’t escape, and would have been in trouble had the guy wanted to kill her.
