Bechdel Test Movie List

The passing scene occurs early in the film, when Dana and Jules talk about Jules new hair color. They also discuss what Dana is bringing along the trip, particularly her choice of books. However, these conversations happen in between conversations about Curt, Holden, and Dana's ex, so it might be considered dubious.

I've seen the film twice and still have trouble picking specific conversations, because many of the conversations in the movie in general include more than two participants, many times with two (but not all) being female and the conversation not being about or centered around men. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a scene later on in the film, especially near the end, that passed more clearly but that I just missed.

SPOILER ALERT
I think the director and Dana exchange words about the end of the world, but I'm not sure.

SPOILER ALERT
Yes, but I'm pretty sure that those words are primarily if not entirely in relation to Marty and his role in the whole thing. I could easily be misremembering, though...

It's a moot point anyway, since I think it clearly passes with the exchanges between Dana and Jules, but the Director and Dana also have a dialogue which is some thing like
SPOILER ALERT
DIRECTOR: And, finally, you, the virgin. It doesn't matter that you die, only that you suffer.
DANA: Virgin?
DIRECTOR: Well, we work with what we're given.

Does 'director' count as a name?

I'd say 'Director' desn't count as a named character, but there is also the scientist Wendy Lin, though I don't think she spoke to any of the other women. I'd also like to point out that this movie was made to poke fun at horror movie tropes, so the lack of female characters/non-male-centric dialog may have been intentional.

It definitely passes in the beginning, where Dana and Jules discuss her new hair color.

I think "The Director" counts. It's a term she uses to describe herself, ("I'm the Director") as much as the Oracle is named "The Oracle" and the Architect is "The Architect" in The Matrix Trilogy.

I think the concept of two female characters having "names" is to avoid unimportant, throwaway dialogue situations where the characters are so unimportant as to not warrant a name in the script (ala "Security Guard 1", "Alexis's Secretary", etc.)

Those characters don't have names, but Sigourney Weaver's character does. She's not "Woman" or "Woman in Business Suit", she's referred to as "The Director".

Also, don't forget that (SPOILER ALERT) they were being drugged to act more like cliche characters then the well rounded people they actually were.
