The 1980s featured several films where female characters found themselves in trouble with the law, resulting in memorable mugshot scenes. Here are a few notable examples:

1. **"Desperately Seeking Susan" (1985)** - This film features Madonna as Susan, a free-spirited woman whose antics lead to a case of mistaken identity and a memorable mugshot moment.

2. **"The Blues Brothers" (1980)** - While the primary focus is on the male leads, Carrie Fisher's character, the Mystery Woman, is a notable female presence with a penchant for causing chaos, though her mugshot isn't explicitly shown.

3. **"Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1986)** - Whoopi Goldberg stars as Terry Doolittle, a computer operator who gets entangled in espionage, leading to a humorous mugshot scene.

4. **"9 to 5" (1980)** - This comedy features Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin, with a plot that includes a run-in with the law, although the mugshot itself is more implied than shown.

These films reflect the diverse roles and scenarios that female characters found themselves in during the 1980s cinematic landscape.

You're welcome, Pete! Those are excellent additions to the list. Each of these films brings its own unique flair to the portrayal of female characters and their encounters with the law:

- **"Certain Fury" (1985)** - A lesser-known gem that adds to the tapestry of 80s cinema with its distinctive storyline and character dynamics.

- **"Vendetta" (1986)** - A film that dives into themes of revenge and justice, featuring a memorable mugshot scene as part of its intense narrative.

- **"Vice Squad" (1982)** - Known for its gritty portrayal of the urban underworld, this film includes powerful performances and scenes that highlight the darker side of city life.

- **"Bare Behind Bars" (1980)** - A Brazilian exploitation film that explores the lives of women in prison, complete with the requisite mugshot scenes typical of the genre.

These films, while varying in tone and style, contribute to the rich and varied landscape of 1980s cinema. Thank you for sharing them!
