Seeking Source Suggestions: Women doing violence

Hi!  I'm working on a multifandom vid.  For one section I need clips that have women fighting/ otherwise doing violence in a non-stylized way - think Cally Tyrol biting that dude's ear off in Battlestar Galactica, not Kahlan spinning around in a white dress tapping people with knives in Legend of the Seeker.  Unfortunately, most of the sources I have on hand focus on the pretty happy shiny violence, not the ugly bloody brutish violence, which is why I need help.  What sources, preferably shot in 16:9, have a lot of women beating the crap out of people in a non-sexualized way? 

oh god I sound like a psychopath. I'm not, I promise.

Hard Candy. It has Ellen Page playing a 14yo in a cat & mouse game with a possible paedophile/murderer, and she is amazingly awesome in it. In terms of violent scenes - she's not a fist fighter, research is her weapon. And sedatives. And glad wrap. And spray bottles of cleaners. And tasers. Its a lot more clever thriller than action, but its an excellent movie & she does have some angry violent scenes.

Shattered has a cop who has left her boyfriend. He spends the whole show trying to get back with her, and in the last episode he tries to kiss her & she shoves him off, & then he hits her and she wins the ensuing scuffle then kicks him a lot while he's on the ground.
