That's good work.
The only slap I was expecting that didn't make it in [as far as I can tell] was Steve McQueen's epic workout on Ali McGraw in The Getaway.

What a disorienting experience to see the juxtaposition of comedic, slapstick violence (Three Stooges, Moonstruck) versus some the more gut-wrenching depictions (Raging Bull) all with the same jaunty piano score underneath. I can't decide if that 's a feature or a bug . . .

Joan Crawford really plows into that woman at :56.

That music really makes everything more... sinister? The juxtaposition, I suppose.

No fish-slapping dance? No Bugs Bunny letting Elmer Fudd have it? What a maroon.

You really only need clips from pretty much any and all Joan Crawford or Bette Davis movies to make this compilation work. Exhibit A.

Kinnakeet, that should have been the title of the piece for sure.

It's interesting to hear the rich variety of fake face-slapping sounds. A couple of those Bette Davis ones sound like shotgun fire!
(I'm pretty sure two or three of the clips were more slug than slap, though.)

The slap in The Night of the Hunter always gets me.

Good group of slaps. But missing Ronald Reagan slapping Angie Dickinson in The Killers and Angie Dickinson slapping [and punching] Lee Marvin in Point Blank. To name two.

And then there's the Turkish movie version (the fun starts about 30 seconds in).

After watching this I can confirm that I never want to be slapped by giant man wearing nothing but a jock-strap.

I loved the 5 back to back Pirates of The Carribean slaps at about 3:50 in
