The live-action Catwoman film in 2004 was, well, one of that year's most critically-panned films, even with a loaded cast of Halle Berry as Catwoman joined by Benjamin Bratt and Sharon Stone. Let’s be honest, it wasn’t that good of a movie.
We should definitely talk about Catwoman’s infamous pick-up basketball scene, though. As far as basketball movie moments go, this has to be one of the most memorable, although probably not for good reasons. (Is this camp?)
So, first of all, Catwoman needs to learn what a foul is, because you can’t have your hands on the ball-handler like that. Stay in your defensive stance, too! She gets the steal, probably because Benjamin Bratt’s character started showboating, but then her dribble is way too loose and asking to be stolen.
Honestly, there’s a lot of fundamental work to be done here, but you can see why we’re still talking about Catwoman to this day — how many prospects can dunk from the free-throw line like that? And just think, if it weren't for the writers' room’s contrived decision to make this scene a sexy scene for some reason, she would have been even more impressive.
The Catwoman dunk is probably the best free throw line dunk from a superhero since Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man. Honestly, that one’s a pretty cut-and-dry charging foul, but we’d love to see Catwoman go one-on-one with Spider-Man on the court.
