WOMEN vs snakes


"The Abbess of Castro"
by Armando Crispino
( Italy, 1974 )
A Renaissance nun stomps violently with her shoe on a snake's head ; bad realisation, the "snake" being a dead eel ( ! ), and the shoe not contemporary to the represented century.
"Ella Enchanted"
by Tommy O'Haver
( USA, 2004 )
In this comedy fantasy a evil/ridicolous talking snake is kicked several times by the heroine then run over and presumably massacred ( the conclusion is just suggested ) by a crowd of ladies...funny gags but nothing special at all.
Other animals vs snakes

"Ape and super Ape"
by Bert Haanstra
( Netherlands, 1972 )
A wandering elephant meets a cobra in striking position and crushes it calmly and slowly. Really remarkable.
"The black Stallion"
by Carroll Ballard
( USA, 1979 )
The Stallion saves the boy, sleeping on the shore, from the attack of a venomous african cobra, trampling it heavily. The scene is a little too frantic.
