Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra) vs Chunjin (Henry Silva): The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
Finding the fella he believes betrayed his platoon in Korea, Sinatra’s Marco lays into him in one of US cinema’s first martial arts fights. Sinatra managed to break a finger when he karate-chopped a table.
WINNER! An elbow to the stomach, a thwack to the back of the neck and Chunjin is pinned to the floor with Marco holding him in an arm lock. Just as Ol’Blue Eyes starts shoeing him in the chest, the spoilsport cops arrive.
