| 1 | * Alabama, the cute, slightly ditzy 5'1 woman ''beating up and killing Virgil'', after taking a horrific beating, [[AgonyOfTheFeet she stabs him in the foot with a corkscrew]], hits him with a bust of Elvis, [[EyeScream rubs soap in his eyes]] [[KillItWithFire and sets him on fire]] with hairspray, then stabs him, and shoots him with a shotgun. BAD-FUCKING-ASS! |
| 2 | ** All the more so because the film is able to make Patricia Arquette beating up James Gandolfini actually look plausible. |
| 3 | *** It manages this in large part by averting the ''shit'' out of both SheFu and BeautyIsNeverTarnished in the case of Arquette. No graceful backflips or high kicks, just a whole lot of desperation, endurance, and every possible kind of weapon she can get her hands on. At the end, well, let's just say that [[Series/TheSopranos Virgil didn't have the makings of a varsity hitman]]. |
| 4 | *** Another cool thing to take notice is how long it took for her to kill Virgil. Unlike most "Empowering" moments similar to this, Alabama [[CurbStompBattle doesn't just stab Virgil once or twice and then win]], she has to constantly keep attacking him, using anything that she can grab ranging from busts to shower soap while ''still'' getting a few punches from the bastard before finally doing him in. Alabama is also clearly frightened through most of the ordeal, and lets out a pained [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "Oh, God..."]] once Virgil threatens her with "No More Mr. Nice Guy." |
| 5 | * Clarence killing Drexl on behalf of Alabama, bonus points for shooting him [[GroinAttack in the balls]]. |
