What are some of your favorite "Ladies versus Men" movie fight scenes?

Question

It's hard for me to choose favorites, for I've seen so many of them, e.g. with Mao Ying (Angela Mao), Hui Ying-Hung (Kara Hui), Huang Hsing-Hsiu (Cecilia Wong), Yeoh Chu-Kheng (Michelle Yeoh), Zhang Ziyi, etc. in Chinese action films; Cynthia Rothrock, Cat Sassoon, Andrea Osvart, etc. in Occidental films, etc.
In Japanese movies, "Manji Mai 2" has some such scenes I like. It begins with a samurai walking along a path in the wilds. A wide hat hides his face. Suddenly, seven ninja attack him. When he raises his head, we see it's a lovely girl- Kumiko Takeda- in men's clothing. From the instant her katana is drawn until the 7th ninja falls dead from its strokes takes 9.6 seconds by my chronograph. She also fights five more who attack a man, his wife and young daughter and quickly kills two, so the others flee. The man and woman are dead, so she takes the child with her. She meets another samurai, and they go to an inn in a village. Her companion argues with some men and beats five of them in unarmed fighting. Then a giant lifts him and holds him above the ground. This man is about 6'-9", 275 lbs. or bigger. 5'-2.2", 95 lbs. Kumiko rescues her new pal by quickly knocking out the giant. At the end, she and a couple of friends find the ninja hideout and kill them all. The finale has the ninja leader with blood squirting from him like a fountain from Kumiko's sword stroke before he falls.
I also like a scene in one of my newest Japanese movies, "Dauntaungaruza". 5'-0.6", 96.75 lbs. beauty Miyuki Komatsu and her two lady pals who are bigger at 5'-2" and 5'-5" go to rescue an old lady who befriended them. Miyuki charges at a man who is a foot taller and twice as heavy as she is. He's surprised to see such a tiny girl attack him. She quickly grabs his arm and pulls him down to her level. Then, she neatly circles around him and chops the back of his neck. The girls go to the old lady, and men attack them. Miyuki starts to help one girl, and a man grabs her from behind and throws her roughly to the ground. Then, two men try to stomp her. She rolls about and sweeps one man's legs out from under him, so he falls. She blocks the other man's stomp and throws him backward. The first enemy wrestles with her, and he's much bigger. She throws him with a Judo move. The other man is on his feet again, so she kicks him. She is a ballerina with strong legs.  Soon, both men are knocked out by our tiny fighter. Her friends have won too, so they leave with the old lady.
Seeing such beautiful and small Japanese ladies beat much bigger men is amusing.

Wong Hang-Sau (in my Cantonese dialect, Huang Xing-Xiu in Mandarin, Ceclia Wong in English) has some nice scenes in "Shaolin Mantis" ("Deadly Mantis"), e.g. beating several teachers. David Chiang as her new husband wants to show her to his family, but her grandfather will not allow him to leave, because he knows he is a spy from the Ching emperor. Miss Wong fights her two uncles who guard the exit and then her beautiful mother Lei Lai-Lai (Li Li-Li in Mandarin, Lily Lee in English). Finally the two ladies must fight her grandfather whose Object & Its Shadow style is invincible. The two women are killed in the battle, but they hold their relative back long enough for Mr. Chiang to escape. There are others I like too. e.g. "Lethal Panther" has rival assassins Chinese Maria Jo versus Japanese Yoko Yamamoto, and CIA agent Sibelle Hui pursuing them both. The girls fight one another and many men too; "Beauty Investigator" has Chinese Moon Lee versus Japanese Yukari Oshima and American blonde Sophia Crawford. The ladies fight one another and men many times.
In recent Japanese movies, "Machine Girl" is interesting I think. Minase Yashiro plays a girl whose younger brother and his friend are killed by a youth gang led by the son of a Yakuza boss. She seeks revenge and beats several yakuza men, but she is caught and her left arm is cut off at the elbow by the boss himself. she becomes friends with the parents of her brother's friend. They are mechanics, and the man replaces her missing arm with a Vulcan machine gun. That helps her to beat an army of Yakuza, but she does some hand-to-hand when her Vulcan is empty. 
In American movies, Lucy Liu kicks some serious men's "pigu" in "Ballistic: Ecks Versus Sever" and "DOA" has a big martial arts tournament with Devin Aoki, Natassia Malthe, Jaime Pressly and other girls fighting men many times. I paricularly like Jaome Pressly versus huge WWE wrestler Kevin Nash who is nearly seven feet tall and muscular.

"Sister Street Fighter", a 1976 Japanese classic, comes to mind for me. Near the start, two men flirt aggressively with Shihomi Etsuko (a.k.a. Sue Shiomi, born October 29, 1955), and she knocks their heads together. Three of these men's friends join them, so she must beat five men. It influences me that she often wears the same clothing I do in my avatar photograph, i.e. that of a supreme master of Shorinji (Japanese Shaolin), and she takes refuge with a Shorinji group. A gang imprisoned and killed her brother, so she seeks revenge. She has many fights with men. Maeda Sadao (a.k.a. Shinichi "Sonny" Chiba) and two more lady warriors help her against the gang. At the end, she fights the leader of the gang and kills him. She was in some more movies before she married and retired in 1986. Her daughter is now an actress.

I am Chinese, and I like some scenes in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Perhaps my favorite scenes in it show Zhang Ziyi (Chang Tsi-Yi in earlier Romanization) dressed as a man and carrying the fabulous Green Destiny Sword. Two men confront her at a restaurant and boast of their skills. She quickly draws her legendary sword and cuts both of their swords in half with one stroke. They bring some friends and confront her again at a bigger restaurant. She easily beats a small army of foes and part of the building collapses from the fierce battle. As you say, it is amusing to see small girls beat bigger men.
I also like the recent Japanese movie "High Kick Girl". Early in the movie, cute schoolgirl Rina Takeda and a boy go to a dojo and see ten men practicing Karate while their sensei observes them. The boy says that teacher was a Japanese Karate champion. She goes to him and challenges him to fight and says she collects black belts of men she beats. He is amused and thinks she does not know proper stances. She suddenly kicks his head and knocks him out before he knew what hit him. His ten students all attack her, and she knocks out all of them. She now has eleven more black belts for her collection. Her strict sensei only gave her a brown belt.
