Надаю по морде

Russian to English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Здравствуйте. Подскажите, пожалуйста, как лучше перевести данное выражение, которое также использовано в качестве названия для ролика? Вот это место в ролике: https://youtu.be/PyLY1mos2vU?t=6m44s

Девушка водитель, припарковавшаяся на тротуаре, говорит активисту:

- Вот если ты сейчас приклеишь эту свою хрень, я выйду и тебе по морде надаю!

Ahem @''The rest, here, is either too strong or too bookish, or too wooden, or simply no-go.''
That's one hell of a bold statement to make, after being unmasked as a nonnative:
"Neither "participated to" nor "realized" would be written by a native English speaker, stop pretending to be one!" (My compliments to ILAN RUBIN)
You've got some nerve, mister, you know that? ;-)

I'll clean your clock!

Idiomatic way of saying you'll beat someone's face, and has the comedic element I believe you're looking for here.

agree Michael Korovkin : е браво Марк! Эз южуал :))) The rest, here, is either too strong or too bookish, or too wooden, or simply no-go (i.e. "I'll beat your face"... whassthah', huh?)

I'll punch you in the face

I'll punch you in the face / I'll thump your skull!

I'll kick your ass

Я думаю, лексическую единицу "морда" сохранять не обязательно. Суть, а именно угрозу применения насилия, можно передать любым расхожим жаргонным выражением, например "kick your ass". Как вариант =)
Example sentence:

...I'll come out and kick your ass!

Peer comment(s):

neutral El oso : 'Kicking your ass' was my first thought, but I didn't think 'ass' in a video title was a very good idea :-) btw, you really made my day with your @лексическая единица "морда"@ :-)

You're welcome! I just love to make somebody's day from time to time =)
agree Denis Shepelev : Согласен, что лексическую единицу "морда" можно не сохранять.

Благодарю за солидарность =)

I'll beat your face!/I'll smack you in the face!/I'll put a hurt on you, man, real bad!

The last is very slangy.

to injure or damage (someone or something)

Peer comment(s):

agree eduard_ : To beat does indeed conveys the meaning of надавать vs to punch which, I think, usually means a one time blow i.e. дать по морде. Also maybe with up i.e. I'll beat your face up

Thank you, eduard_. You are certainly right: "up" will make it a "fait accompli" - a done thing.
