- Since I had the final "showdown" from this episode's sequel, I thought it fitting to have the showdown from this episode as well.
CHiPs was the most non-violent cop show I can think of. No one ever really drew guns or fired a weapon and physical confrontations like this happened only very rarely.

Wow that was a hell of a fight. Boxing, kung fu, karate, you name it. What a time to be alive.
Kindo sticks. Nunchucks. Billy clubs. Holy shit man
And nobody got shot.
Good ole Ponch, on nearly every episode, he takes one lesson at somthing and next thing ya know, he's an expert at it! Gotta love Chips!
Quick learner
Jealous 😂
I love how from 1:10 to 1:12 Ponch changed from being a lefty to a righty, like, INSTANTLY
That was his secret weapon!
I actually remember watching this scene on TV. I was a huge fan of CHiP's
I still am 🤠
Yep me too
It was mighty nice of the bandit to not finish off Ponch when he was down
That was a very well done fight. Even the A-Team, which was later than this, just featured punching, and then BA Baracus picking people up and throwing them. Ponch's skill with Nunchucks and poles means he found some spare time to go to the Valley and take lessons from Mr. Miyagi.
Baker's glowing brown leather jacket is the joint.
The gang leader looks like a folk singer! 😄
And Andy looks like David Coverdale 🤣
My thoughts exactly. Some casting.
In 70s everyone looked like folk singer
no fair! ponch was blinding andy massedon with the glare from his teeth.
😂😂😂
Dang, Ponch's stuntman put a beatdown on Andy Macedon. This show was freaking awesome. Glad they're showing these episodes again on MeTV.
I watch that station to it is awesome
No stuntman..
Erik actually has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do
Lewis Van Bergen as Andy Macedon.
He later returned as a reformed good guy in another episode...helping Ponch battle Danny Bonaduce once again.
Danny Bonaduce. National menace
There's more violence in this scene than every other episode combined.
Haha! So true. They also never used their guns. Pew! Pew!
They pulled out nearly every martial arts weapon 🤣
It was even better than the fight between Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon lol
this gang wanted napoleon dynamite to join them because of his bo staff and numchuck skills.
Barry Gibb vs Ponch.
Punch was in the gang then turned chips
That was Andy, not barry
Definitely Barry. Besides Andy was coked up at the time.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The guy Ponch is fighting would obliterate him in an actual fight. That dude is GOOD.
Wish they could have slowed it down a bit... and see those lightening fast moves lol
On RUclips they have playback speed.
I remembers those karate episodes from when I was a kid I thought they were so cool now they're kinda silly But at the time they were cool
That's pretty impressive fight choreography for an age where the traditional thing was "tackle to the ground, roll three times one way, three times the other way, person on top punches" (seriously, watch most 80s television fights!)
estrada is the spanish william shatner.
He's not Spanish.
"Hispanic"...OKAY?? VATO!@@pumasgoya
Great episode. Seems like theres nothing that PONCH cant do AMAZING!!!
I see a few folks saying that the choreography is horrible, but considering that this was for television and during the early 1980's, I think the choreography and techniques are decent.
The second Karate episode, which is the sequel to this, had even better choreography.
The sequel to this episode "a threat of war", is the one i want to see very much. I've only seen it once when it originally aired. Haven't been able to find it since!
Wow! I remember watching this as a kid and thinking it was so cool to see them use Karate but seeing it now, I can’t believe how cheesy the karate was. I still say it was my favorite CHIPS episode though.
The sequel "a threat of war", is very hard to find, it appears. Jon has a straight up fight with this Andy guy, but it's in the ring instead, all legit-like. I haven't been able to find it, and i really want to see it again!
wow I missed this episode as a kid....
pretty handy how everyone had their karate weapons with them.....
It was the 70s, everybody was kung-fu fightin'...
Those cats were fast as lightning
It was a little bit frightening
that was like the fight from anchorman, that really escallated quickly!! I think somebody had a trident and a granade at one point..
It was amazing that when the bad guy pulled out the 2 sai, Ponch grew about 5 inches and lost some weight! Ponch must have channeled his inner Chuck Norris!
The best fight screen of all time, even jet li or jacky chan cannot fight like this and the music was so katate kid.
.
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting!
love it great post this was my favorite "chips" episode thank you
They originally start out Karate fighting, but Ponch resorts to good ol' street fighting to finish the guy off.
After the fight ponch went to the disco and ruled the floor then delivered a baby,,then expertly skateboarded home.
For my money, Andy Macedon was the greatest TV bad guy ever
The 70’s street fight, sticks, knives, numbchucks , fists and roundhouses. Kick a..
hilarious!!! one of the greatest moments in tv history!! hahahahaha.
Eric Estrada had a stunt double in parts of this scene. The man who played andy masadon was a real black belt.
Thank you. id never would had noticed lol
Your description was perfect! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ponch could've confused him by square dancing.
Loved this episode. Actually, there were three episodes of CHiPs that featured martial-arts. This one, it's sequel, and a proposed spinoff series called "Force Seven." Fun stuff.
John was like Ponch is the one unarmed badass cop that does not need a partner backing him up against a trained fighter WITH weapons ..lol
We've all heard of "karate chops," but, "karate CHIPS"?!
They really brought out the whole karate & kobudo arsenal, too: empty hands, staff, sai, nunchaku, tonfa . . . whew!
And youse should see Ponch on thee old Disco dance floor.......Wait a minute ..... I think I hear Leo Sayers classic ...I feel like dancing.....Dancin the night away........OOooohh!!!!!
This seemed a lot better when I was 6 years old
i think the glare from ponch's teeth blinded his opponent.
Odd how easy Ponch was to knock down at first only to rally back in the end.
Ponch went up to Reseda to spend his day off with Mr. Miyagi, I see.
2:35 with his back to the camera, that's a double for Estrada.
How can you tell?
You can tell most of Ponch fighting is a stuntman and the other dude is a real fighter
A Mexican doing karate lmao. Homeboy said I want my 3.99 a minute back from the psychic friends network
ponchos double denim acted like knights armour
Eric Estrada should love his stuntman
The fight scenes at the time for the most part had to be made for T.V. They weren't like you would see Chuck Norris or Jackie Chan do. They were made for television.
This is the best karate match ever seen!
this was better then a 60's karate movie
I like how alot of the villians have new york accents...lol
"I hate to hit a beaten man."
Ponch looked so cool swinging those nunchucks.
My God ! Ponch could have killed him with those savage karate moves !
That was a very good realistic scene they filmed.
Eric Clapton has really turned nasty 🧔🎸
Watch out! He's got karate!
Ponch was also secretly a Ninja in his spare time, little known fact.
I started taking karate lessons at 8 after this episode came out😂😂. The good old 1980s. Karate was on chips and every Saturday night was the black belt special on regular TV. Everything is at everyone’s fingertips now and my daughter asked me what it was like back then. It was a lot of fun because you always had something to look forward to the next week when it was coming on and if you missed it you didn’t see it lol.
This is better than Captain Marvel.
Ahhh, Ponch wearing good ole Nike Cortez's....that's old skool...
For the longest time I thought his name was Andy Mastodon.
Me too
Andy should have done some ground and pound when ponch was down.
Aiyaiyai, talk about third-drawer fight choreography. They could have borrowed some green belts from the local dojo for better fight scenes than this stuff. What I do like about CHiPs is that whatever was fashionable in the seventies was on the show: Disco, martial arts, roller skating, clothes. The show is a real time capsule.
What episode is this?
Oops! @ the 3:29 mark, you see an umbrella opened underneath the overhead. Somebody was not doing their job.
Even though the moustached dude was the bad guy, he was classy... allowing Ponch to get fully up before taking another shot at him.
And when he gets knives out, he chivalrously waits for Pinch to slowly pick up the stick. Clearly Macedon-sensei did not want to dishonour his family.
I don't think so. Those two episodes are quite honestly the only two episodes where I remember Ponch or John doing any physical combat at all. Actually - I kind of remember John throwing a guy off his car once.
Poncherello delivers yet another SMACKDOWN!!!
RIGHT ON PONCH !!!!
My favorite chips episode!!!!
This one is the episode where Baricza actually pulls out his gun on Danny Bonaduce.
The first and ONLY time Baricza pulled out his gun.
Yep, I remember
You just happen to have Sai swords a Bo and nunchuck at the burrito stand
clearly the shows budget could not afford a fight choreographer
wow.. that might have been the worst/best scene from CHiPs ever. Who knew Ponch was a weapons expert/ninja.
funny
I read recently that he did take lessons, looks look he did a lot of his own stunt-work. on of my favorite episodes, his first meeting with the guy he walked away and the kids didn't like it. But finally it was time to stand up to this creep, he was a friend that had gone bad.
@@cat-lw6kq ,
Erik Estrada actually has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
The close ups are Estrada but when his back is to the camera it's a stunt double. I don't doubt he did take lessons and got awarded a black belt. But it looks like they had a stunt double do some of this. When his back is to the camera you can't see his face. This was well done and I liked this episode.
It's so bad that is actually good hell they made a trilogy with these two!
Ponch ‘Punch’ Poncherello, he should have done this to everyone they ever pulled over. 😂
Which season was this episode?
Ponch is a star at everything he doe's!
Chuck Norris should have been a guest on this show (especially the season Clarence Gilyard was on it), and Estrada on Walker, Texas Ranger.
Andy came back later on in season as a good guy
Ponch better know how to kick ass, he gave up his gang being Nicky Cruz in NYC.
Ever wonder why ponch has his back to the camera most of the time?
Best TV show of all time
I have never sprung such awesome wood !!
Love Chips and crew great series
The show was so silly.
A jump spinning crescent kick to the arm is the ultimate knockout! Why didn't Ponch use his Karate skills in other episodes?
There's at best, three or four episodes where there is any kind of physical fight between the CHiPS and the baddies in the entire show hehehe.
CHiPs is possibly the least violent action show in prime time history
They just had tons of car crashes almost every episode.
Eric Estrada a gift from god....Pure beauty!!!!Hello.Gianna from sunny Greece...
Ponch for President!
Do all LA street fights involve sais and nunchucks?
@SumKindaNice I think it was from the fourth season. Could be wrong though.
I guess the moral of this episode is not to solve problems with your fists : /
EVERYBODY was Kung-fu fighting!
I`d like to see the whole episode too.
That's why I never liked gangs, always had to bring a weapon into a fight. Ponch through his weapon down & fought like a man 😉.
Really liked that part ponch jumped over the stick & kicked the guy. Don't think I've ever seen that before 🤯
That was so sad!
at 1:14 i like his twitchy foot. very "karate" in the 80s. CHIPS is awesome on all levels. KIAI!!!!!
I can't believe what I just saw.
ya that's 1982 yall
