Greatest Judo Fight Ever Filmed
Ентусиасти джудо може би не знаят, че един от най-великите битки джудо някога филм настъпила в един филм от 1945, Кръв на Слънцето (филиал на връзката). Джеймс Кагни, който бил кафяв колан по джудо, звезди във филма като Ник Кондън, американски редактор на вестник за Токио Кроникъл преди бомбардировките на Пърл Харбър.
A few Japanese government officials are trying to warn the Americans about the upcoming attack, while the military is trying to keep the attack secret. Director Frank Lloyd did a good job of showing the tension between the civilian and military authorities prior to World War II.
Condon gains possession of the secret plans, which the police and military are determined to retrieve. It results in one of the best judo fights on film between Condon and Capt. Oshima, portrayed by John Halloran. I don’t know if Halloran had Judo training or if Cagney taught him for the film but the end result is one of the best depictions of Judo in a film.
Still from the Judo Fight in Blood on the Sun (1945)
Филмът преминава приблизително 90 протокол. After you watch this film, The Judo Saga (1942) by Akira Kurosawa is another great judo film.
The Motion Picture Academy awarded an Oscar for Best Art Direction in a Black and White film to Кръв на Слънцето. The Cagney brothers collaborated on the film as it was a William Cagney Productions film.
