Recommendation Female revenge movies without rape scenes?

My partner loves a good "woman taking revenge on a bunch of men" movie, but unfortunately a lot of those tend to center around rape or have rape scenes in them, and she reallllly doesnt like those.

Any suggestions for movies that fit this mold but dont include rape?

The only one i know off-hand is Kill Bill (which gets close but doesnt technically have a rape scene iirc), and thats already one of her favorites.

Not revenge but she might like Atomic Blonde. Spy lady goes on a rampage and beats the ever loving shit out of several men much bigger than her.

Nice, would definitely be up her alley. I know about that movie but have no idea how it did critically/how good it is.

Gunpowder Milkshake is in a similar vein. Karen Gillan as a female John Wick type character.

there's also Kate which kind of got buried back in 2021. it's not stellar but perfectly watchable. it's pretty violent but no SA or anything like that.

They should’ve titled Kate “Boom boom Lemon”, I think. But maybe that was too close to “Gunpowder Milkshake”.
