Though film productions are at a standstill, action has not stopped in quarantine, at least for Hollywood actresses and female stunt doubles.
Stunt performer Zoe Bell rounded up women to join what she dubbed the “Boss Bitch Fight Challenge”, where each participant must take a video of them reacting to a fight move, and showing off their own bad-ass punch or kick — or even a head butt.
These videos were stitched up in a five-minute fight sequence that included “Charlie’s Angels” stars Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, “Black Widow” actresses Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh, and “Birds of Prey” stars Margot Robbie and Rosie Perez.
The video was posted on YouTube last Friday, May 1, and has over 740,000 views as of writing.
Daryl Hannah drew from her “Kill Bill” character Elle Driver for inspiration, and “Guardians of the Galaxy” star Zoe Saldana joined the fun too.
Some got creative with stunts such as falling into a pool — as Halle Berry did — or a barn of sheep. Others did not hesitate to use props, like a dumbbell or tree branch, to deliver a blow.
The following are the actresses and stuntwomen in order of appearance: Zoe Bell, Lucy Lawless, Tara Macken, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis, Tamiko Brownlee, Rosario Dawson, Amy Johnson, Cameron Diaz, Kim Murphy, Daniela Ruah, Michaela McAllister, Kaitlin Olson, Lauren Mary Kim, Florence Pugh, Julia Butters, Angela Meryl, Sarah Irwin, Daryl Hannah, Sophia Di Martino, Tracie Thoms, Shauna Duggins, Zoe Saldana, Ming Qiu, Renee Goldsberry, Rosie Perez, Lilly Aspell, Thandie Newton, Mel Stubbs, Jessie Graff, Monique Ganderton, Halle Berry, Heidi Moneymaker, Scarlett Johansson, Dayna Grant, Margot Robbie, Renae Moneymaker, KT Tunstall and once again, Zoe Bell.
