Greatest Judo Fight Ever Filmed
Judo entuzijasti mogu biti svjesni da je jedan od najvećih judo borbe ikad Film dogodila u filmu iz 1945, Krv na Suncu (affiliate link). James Cagney, koji je bio smeđi pojas u judu, glumi u filmu kao Nick Condon, Američki urednik novina za Tokyo Chronicle prije bombardiranja Pearl Harbora.
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 zapisnik. 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 Krv na Suncu. The Cagney brothers collaborated on the film as it was a William Cagney Productions film.
