I mean, hit him with your hair flip once and it’s nothing but as we see here she hits him thousands if not millions of times over and over. Bound to hurt.

I assumed this was a bad attempt at a head butt

4

u/friskevision Aug 31 '26

Hair butt.

u/CitizenofVallanthia Aug 31 '26

Better than being hit with butt hair

5

u/NoLongerinOR Sep 01 '26

Unless you are an eater - which I am not.

u/Wise_Ad_5810 Sep 03 '26

... unless it was her's

1

u/OmegaWhirlpool Sep 03 '26

Eater? I barely know her!

5

u/RyzenRaider Sep 01 '26

Yeah rewatching the scene, the sound effect on that moment is pretty similar to most of the other blows, so it's supposed to be a headbutt.

3

u/Paleodraco Sep 01 '26

I assumed it was. This gif makes it obvious it didn't connect, but in the full speed scene it looks like a head butt.

2

u/EndOfSouls Sep 02 '26

Plus, nobody is looking at the headbutt.

1

u/StinkyJizzBlanket Sep 03 '26

But they do stare at your butt head

1

u/Jimbeamjunior1 Sep 03 '26

What headbutt?

1

u/OkMarsupial Sep 04 '26

The art of misdirection.

1

u/discountdoppelganger Sep 03 '26

Guy took lessons from the guy sweeping the air in Casino Royale

u/Dismal-Vanilla1878 Sep 04 '26

Its funny, I had always thought it was SUPPOSED to be her 'weaponizing' her hair, because she was just that Bad Ass 😂

But yes, a flubbed Head Butt makes more sense, and I guess they either kept the take because she didn't want to accidentally hurt the stunt man, or maybe for a Couple of obvious reasons 😄

u/Doc_Helldiver-66 Sep 05 '26

It’s definitely bad fight choreography.

14

u/Brimstone747 Aug 31 '26

She's a Black Widow. Surely she has tiny microscopic knives attached to the ends of her hair.

2

u/BattleReadyZim Sep 05 '26

What I was thinking

2

u/z0mbiefool Sep 05 '26

Broken pieces of razor blades super glued lol would be lowkey terrifying

u/nish92rao Sep 01 '26

Getting hit with a hair flip could make you fall in love, which incapacitates you.

6

u/My_GPU_Is_A_Cat Sep 01 '26

Crazy: how did you post a 44 minute clip?

1

u/Expensive-Judgment44 Sep 01 '26

Cause it's tied to : Pervert loop - especially for someone like you!!!

1

u/TrafficLegitimate937 Sep 05 '26

J calling anyone a pervert nowadays🥀

u/BaconEggBetty Sep 01 '26

Rack power 💥

u/Keinshot Sep 01 '26

Wait, she had hair in this scene?

2

u/elKane0 Sep 02 '26

I’ve watched it twenty times and still not seeing it 🤷‍♂️

1

u/A_Grain_Of_Saltines Sep 05 '26

There was movment im sure. LOTS of movement.

1

u/AgitatedStranger9698 Sep 05 '26

Yeah just noticed. I assumed the movement and power came from lower down.

3

u/AdeptSwordfish1096 Sep 01 '26

She hit him with the bend and snap. Have none of you seen legally blonde? That love will fuck your shit up

3

u/Economy-Bike1810 Sep 02 '26

Damn, that was like 3 jiggles!

4

u/-ACHTUNG- Aug 31 '26

To one's own neck? Not insignificant, speaking as someone who started listening to metal in their late 30s

2

u/xMyDixieWreckedx Sep 01 '26

Pretty sure you got a whip it back and forth for maximum effect.

2

u/Shiny-And-New Sep 01 '26

I'm going to keep watching to see if I can figure out

2

u/mechaczech Sep 01 '26

Hair flip…right, that’s what we’re looking at.

2

u/TheRealValsch Sep 01 '26

Not sure what you guys are talking about, too mesmerized from other things.

2

u/BootlegJB Sep 01 '26

You can explain it in universe by saying he faked the hit because he knows who she is and doesn't want the upcoming smoke. 

2

u/Standard-Contest-949 Sep 01 '26

I was in a mosh pit throw my head back and I saw stars and turns out to find out I broke a guys nose.

2

u/DarkSpore117 Sep 02 '26

This would probably work really well for Medusa

3

u/Resident-Syrup7615 Aug 31 '26

Hair in the eyes would cause pain and temporary blindness. Also one would be compelled to back away. Pretty much what we see there.

1

u/Mariessa- Sep 06 '26

This.

I do think it's a poorly choreographed/filmed/edited head butt based on the nose grab, but getting smacked with hair in the eyes stings and could make a person jerk back.

1

u/Cute_Prior1287 Sep 01 '26

I thought you were talking 'bout me, being damaged

1

u/HBSV Sep 01 '26

I think it was supposed to be a headbutt, but they realized no one would be looking closely enough to notice in real time, for a couple reasons.

1

u/Hairy-Translator7701 Sep 01 '26

When scarlett Johansson hair whips you in the face you go AHH SHE SMELLS SO PURE!!!!!!!

1

u/elusive-rooster Sep 01 '26

On of the breast interrogation scenes ever.

1

u/Grizzled_Ghost Sep 01 '26

At the very least it destroyed my pants.

1

u/Mrfilipdraws Sep 02 '26

I am more looking to the chest part, boing boing

1

u/No_Bodybuilder7191 Sep 02 '26

Let's be honest, the hair isn't the first thing we looked at

1

u/MangyAsianMan Sep 02 '26

Tong Po in Kickboxer had a helluva hair whip attack.

1

u/pcgamerbob Sep 02 '26

I think hair hit his eye balls

1

u/AnonymousUser132 Sep 03 '26

If you were watching the hair butt then you are clearly gay.

1

u/deanallen79 Sep 03 '26

Funny, I never noticed the hair hurting the guy, must have been concentrating on something else....

1

u/Bright-Internal229 Sep 03 '26

Hairspray 💨🤣

1

u/I_Galactus Sep 03 '26

Who cares? Nice jiggle.

1

u/seantabasco Sep 03 '26

It was no not November and he was trying to to look at the bounciness

1

u/OhGawDuhhh Sep 03 '26

You hear a bullwhip sound effect so she whipped the guy with her hair.

It's fun and silly

1

u/Wise_Ad_5810 Sep 03 '26

maybe he just had Lasik?

1

u/MiKapo Sep 03 '26

I didn't even notice the hair my attention was elsewhere

1

u/DatTrashPanda Sep 03 '26

Sorry could you repeat that? I forgot the question.

1

u/crave1214 Sep 03 '26

Tits jiggling is all I see.

1

u/CarelessMechanic5896 Sep 03 '26

A hair flip like that can cause several kids, giving all your money, all your free time

1

u/Krondon57 Sep 03 '26

it actually hurts, esp if you get hit in your eyes, but this is a movie, not every punch has to connect

1

u/theIatephilipjfry Sep 03 '26

They honestly probably didn’t think anyone would actually be looking at her hair…

1

u/SageoftheForlornPath Sep 03 '26

It's not her hair you're meant to be looking at.

1

u/Morbidly-Obese-Emu Sep 03 '26

I’m sorry what was the question?

1

u/xenophon57 Sep 03 '26

If you had something sharp tied to it could really suck.

1

u/SpannerV2 Sep 03 '26

Guy just pulled a book out of the "Messi" collection.

1

u/Total-Mixture896 Sep 03 '26

The comments revealed absolutely none of them have girlfriends or wives.

1

u/Deadguy247365 Sep 03 '26

Maybe it went into his eye

1

u/thegrimmemer Sep 03 '26

Well it will sting if those hair follicular hit you in the eye

1

u/undonetocompletion Sep 03 '26

Love the way her hair jiggles.

1

u/RottenAuGratin Sep 04 '26

The sweat in her hair stung his eyes.

SOLVED

1

u/Magical_SnakE Sep 04 '26

Well, consider that her hair might have been a little damp so clumped up. It likely hit him in the eye.

1

u/Honest-Welder-808 Sep 04 '26

I saw someone throw a knife with their hair, so who knows what a Black Widow would hide in their hair?

1

u/LordofSuns Sep 04 '26

Didn't even realise there was a guy in this shot tbf

1

u/Simple_District4502 Sep 04 '26

Scarlet Jodamnson

1

u/ajl330 Sep 04 '26

some kind of braided in sharp pointed hairpins in the eyes? Knowing these guys wouldn't check there?

1

u/Jajay5537 Sep 04 '26 edited Sep 04 '26

She has spy razors in her hair that activate only with a big hair flip.

1

u/Bexil_Brave Sep 04 '26

Henchman: No my makeup! You bitch.

1

u/Tasty-Jump-2011 Sep 04 '26

Well I know I for one am incapable of standing up as a result.

1

u/ShockValueSandwich Sep 04 '26

He’s allergic to the shampoo she uses.

1

u/Mental_Somewhere_994 Sep 04 '26

AAAAA ITS TICKLING ME AAAAAA MY FACE IS BEING TICKLED

1

u/PrestigiousBreak4532 Sep 04 '26

This gif had me in a little trance

1

u/crushem0786 Sep 04 '26

I never noticed that I was focused on something else.

1

u/JoshTHX Sep 04 '26

She looks amazing

1

u/Sad_Dress_5679 Sep 05 '26

Medusa enters the chat

1

u/remonious Sep 05 '26

But the jiggle was worth it.

1

u/KrazyKryminal Sep 05 '26

He was hit by the concussive force of her breasts. She can hit me anytime

1

u/CreepBasementDweller Sep 05 '26

If you get hit in the eyes, it can really sting like a 🐝

1

u/Johnny_Strawhat Sep 05 '26

Exactly 2 jiggling boobs worth of damage.

1

u/FullMetalJesus1 Sep 05 '26

Enough damage to make my eyes water seeing it from the front 🥹

1

u/typesgt Sep 05 '26

Couldn’t tell ya, not looking at the hair.

1

u/Medical_Amount3007 Sep 05 '26

Emotional damage! But that front jump would be enough to put anyone in stasis!

1

u/Odd-Guard-2533 Sep 05 '26

Oh she’s flipping her hair! I didn’t notice.

1

u/Ah_Un Sep 06 '26

The fact that the editors, the director and most of us as viewers didn't give enough of a fuck is hilarious

1

u/Current_Ad_9850 Sep 06 '26

All I see is them, tittys bouncing.

1

u/Addict_Opossum Sep 06 '26

I'm not looking respectfully

1

u/gmotelet Sep 06 '26

This is nothing compared to the bend and snap

1

u/NetworkVegetable7075 Sep 06 '26

Hair and gel get into ya eyes now ya gotta scratch and rub ya eye for a good 15 seconds seem like plenty time to me.

1

u/kendragon Sep 06 '26

For some reasons I've never noticed that.

1

u/TheRaveViking Sep 06 '26

Critical hit

1

u/Sotyka94 Sep 06 '26

They knew no one was gonna look at her head in that specific scene....

1

u/UberKiwiUSA Sep 06 '26

Split ends

1

u/ThunderousMonkey Sep 06 '26

Beads in her hair. Went for the eyes.

1

u/Southern-Coffee4018 Sep 07 '26

Left one is slightly bigger and looks better

1

u/funky_munky36 Sep 07 '26

It probably smelled nice tbh

1

u/TheCapo024 Sep 07 '26

Sometimes that shit hurts when they whip their hair into your eyes. 🤷‍♂️

1

u/VigilanteRabbit Sep 07 '26

Try it with your partner, remember to keep your eyes open.

1

u/BoysenberrySmart1525 Sep 07 '26
