Greatest Judo Fight Ever Filmed
Entusiastas de Judo pueden no ser conscientes de que una de las mejores peleas de Judo jamás película ocurrieron en una película de 1945, Sangre sobre el sol (enlace de afiliado). James Cagney, que era un cinturón marrón de Judo, estrellas en la película como Nick Condon, un editor de un periódico Americana para la Crónica de Tokio antes del bombardeo de Pearl Harbor.
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.

The film runs approximately 90 minutes. 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 Sangre sobre el sol. The Cagney brothers collaborated on the film as it was a William Cagney Productions film.
