Who would win in a fight?

    Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor?

    I was having this conversation with someone earlier and I'm torn. I think they're both evenly matched but Sarah just might have the edge after all her years of training.

    Ellen Ripley with a late stoppage deep into the 12th.

    Sarah Connor wins the rematch via majority decision.

    The rubber match takes place during a humid evening in Nevada. Little to split them through ten rounds. Connor smells blood and goes in for the kill. Ripley adjusts and sends an accurate straight right down the middle, dropping Connor. Biggest moment of a lacklustre fight. That round clinches the fight for Ripley who wins by unanimous decision.

    All in all, I really enjoyed their contests. Not quite Ward v Gatti, but close.

    Sarah Connor, her years spent in a mental institute would give her the edge.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 327 ✭✭Raheem Euro


    Would depend on at what point. Sarah Connor started as an ordinary joe with no training and maybe some innate grit and mental toughness. Ripley seems a born warrior. She'd match Connor's toughness but with a more tactical and cunning mind. Very resourceful.


    They might just both get it on though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,007 ✭✭✭s7ryf3925pivug


    T2 Sarah Connor would beat Ripley. Ripley would beat all other Sarah Connors. ...Cersei Sarah Connor would blow over in a strong breeze.

    Ripley. Better tactician, less nuts, more resourceful and intelligent. Taller too.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Ripley also started with no training though. Both of them in the first movies were inexperienced but had toughened up big time for the second.

    Some more:

    Arnie vs Sylvester - I think Arnie would have the edge.

    William vs Harry - Harry

    Clint Eastwood vs Sean Conroy - Dirty Harry all the way.

    Any more?

    Ripley fights for survival and adapts to her situation but Sarah was full of rage after leaving the mental institute. She was cold and calculating. Ripley is great with weapons but without them, I think Sarah would have the edge.

    Sarah Connor is way too hot headed. Remember when she went off on that solo run to kill Myles Dyson? Or how she got caught and put in Pescadero Mental Institute for trying to blow someplace up? John Connor also said she was forever talking about judgement day and all that jazz. Sarah may be tough, but she is all over the shop.

    Ripley gets the job done. There are no after school special meltdowns, just uses her wits and good sense to get the job done.

    I am calling this one for Ripley.

    Woody Allen Vs Peewee Herman

    I'd actually pay good money to see this fight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    There both legends but Ripley is definitely the winner, shes much more sensible,intelligent and resourceful

    Although Ripley is one of the top 5 female characters ever she's not the toughest. That title belongs to Kill Bills the bride

    Sean Conroy? Isn't that the lady who used to draw owls on the Den?

    Damn, I was really hoping it would be Picard or Kirk !

    Kirk would kick picards old ass. I mean Kirk fought someone in every second episode and went hand to hand with Khan

    >>>>Mary McAleese versus Mary Robinson<<<<<<


    I'd particularly like to see this fight because I'm sure McAleese would win and what a joy that would be to watch.

    Robinson does have the advantage of being pure evil but that wouldn't make up for her scrawny frame and weaker jaw.

    If it got past the first round then I think Ripley would have a chance. However I think Sarah would take her in less than a minute.

    She is up there alright.

    I wonder though how she would cope with Carrie ('everyone isn't bad mama'). When the old Telekinesis is unleashed. There's no fightin that sh1t.

    Alien vs Terminator

    Surprised that movie hasn't been done yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,117 ✭✭✭✭Junkyard Tom


    In hand-to-hand unarmed combat? Sarah Connor, after T1, would easily clobber Ripley.

    Give it time.

    As Sarah said herself: “Dead or Alive, you’re coming with me”.

    Short Circuit, what a movie.

    Ripley

    Connor couldn't pull the trigger in T2, Ripley would have annihilated Dyson
