I saw this scene as a 10 year old and it left me open mouthed. A seed was planted which has given me a lifelong interest in martial arts. God bless both these great actors. It has to be one of the greatest films ever made. I also loved Lee Marvin's performance in this. His body shapes made him appear reptilian as he slithered in and out of scenes!
Ernst Borgnine could play a nasty bad guy awesomely, however he was known to be really nice person in real life. He did a series of on the road videos in his RV traveling around not long before he passed away. It was amazing how well known and appreciated he still was even late in life. Rest In Peace sir and thanks for the great films and TV shows !
If I remember right (I'm 71) he had 2 top rated shows on TV at the same time, and a few years after they ended, he had a 3rd. He continued working, accepting small parts, for the rest of his life. He just liked it.
Great line, Sturges is my favourite director in 40 years of watching film. I wouldn't advise using that line in real life though. Used it on a bully at my workplace, he was embarrassed ,went and told the boss. 2 weeks later I was gone! I found out the hard way life isn't a movie.
in real life, away from the roles he played in some of the movies that he was in, he was known for being a very nice man, nothing like those "bad guy" roles that he often played.
The supreme irony of this movie is that while filming it, Borgnine was offered the role of "Marty". Not confident about taking a lead role he asked Tracy for advice. Tracy assured him he was ready and that he should do it. At the next Oscars telecast, Tracy found hmeself opposite the dark horse candidate Borgnine for that very movie in the catagory of "Lead Actor in a Motion Picture" and Borgnine took the trophey home.
Marty was the exact opposite of this character. Marty wouldn't hurt a fly. Just wanted to meet a nice girl, marry and settle down. Shows what a great actor Borgnine was in that he was completely believable as Marty.
The first Hollywood movie featuring martial arts. Ernest choreographed the whole scene after learning judo while he was in the navy. What a great scene.
Very slow, though. In the time it took to do that karate chop a competent boxer could have delivered half-a-dozen punches, including a couple of hooks and an upper cut… Still, I enjoyed the film overall.
This is such a memorable, fabulous, and iconic moment from the film. Always good when a bully gets a bit of his own medicine and just desserts. I love how Spencer Tracy's character carefully and calmly leaves a tip before kicking some ass. Spencer Tracy is amazing in this scene as well as Ernest Borgnine. I wonder how many takes this scene had. My appreciation for this film grows with each watching. Thanks for posting!
You're right. It was filmed in Lone Pine. I've read the entire town exteriors were built for the film with the interiors on stage sets. The film company was granted permission only if they would dismantle and cart off everything so that the area would remain pristine The company agreed and followed through with the agreement. The train never ever stopped there, save for the film scenes. Sadly nothing remains to show where the film location was. Like the great radio shows, the small town only exists in our collective minds.
It was a stunt double mate, the person that did the flip had thinning hair, Ernest at that time did not. Its a good likeness but look real careful and it's not him. Still a great film.
This film came round every couple of years usually on a Sunday afternoon, the subject of racism in a remote small town, still hits hard all these years later. Masterpiece
That's part of it, but the greater theme that I take from it is simply good versus evil, or vs indifference. Also there's no sympathy for mcready's service or disability from the thugs, cold blooded group.
I remember my dad putting on this movie 25 years ago, and being young at the time thinking it was lame.... but I was engrossed in it in about 5 minutes, great movie everyone should watch it. Still carrys a powerful message.
That is true. It is an interesting part of the scene. Also to observe, in the periphery, the subtle reactions of Sam (Walter Sande) the diner’s owner/operator.
I saw this film when I was very young. The fight impressed me. Now that I know karate, I realise that the very first blow, a shuto uke to murasame (right carotide) is definitely a knock out. Simple and effective. Addition: Borgnine, as a former boxer, played the beaten one in a very realistic way. Fabulous all of them!
@@jeffs7915 Yes, you are right. The hitting area of Shuto is narrow but long enough to involve not only the artery but also the vagus nerve and the trachea as well! Those produce different hard effects at the same time.
Interestingly, this movie was to be titled "Bad Day at Hondo". But because another movie called "Hondo" staring John Wayne was released earlier, it was changed to "Black Rock".
This made a big impact on me when I was a kid. A big bully getting what had been coming to him for years. Excellent scene. You wouldn't even think they were acting. Thanks for uploading.
Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) there is no better! Classic & Iconic moments in this film. Spencer Tracy with a all star cast of Characters. I have this on DVD, watch once or twice a year. They just don't make films like this anymore, its called acting without special effects.
Wouldn't consider him underated as he did win an academy award.That said his looks and body shape usually got him the role of the bad guy,but helped him in Marty
If you look at Lee Marvin's face when Spencer first hits Ernest you would swear He was unaware of how that scene was going to be played out. All great actors in one film with an equally great storyline.
@@kenmunro8317 I did read that some directors like to keep other actors out of the know so they will get a perfect reaction from other cast members. I did read the Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta scene, "Do I amuse you in Goodfellows" some of the actors in that scene were unaware of what was about to happen. Good luck Ken!.
@@anthonyscott4270 I read that in the movie Aliens, the actors were not told about the alien hatchling that would burst out of the victim's chest, so their reactions of shock and horror were genuine.
@@amain325 Yes I read that too. Actors genuine reactions add to the scene. I once heard actors on the telly talking about when they forget their lines that they make up suitable lines of their own. If it works, why not?
Those were the days. Not a skerrick of CGI but a riveting movie none the less. Tracy, Borgnine, Ryan and, yes, a young Lee Marvin sitting there under the cowboy hat! Couldn't ask for more.
Well, a chop across the throat like that would certainly be effective. Having dabbled in the martial arts a little bit myself I once watched my South Korean instructor, a little short guy, break a whole row of concrete blocks using chops just like those Tracy used in this scene. Never underestimate anyone you meet in a bar because you have no idea what they might know.
One thing that dates this movie is the lack of background music. I think the tension of a quiet room is more palpable when music does not interfere with the acting - especially when the acting is this good.
Spencer Tracey, Ernest Borgnine, and Lee Marvin were all military veterans. All badasses and true tough guys. Lee Marvin was the most badass of them all! Todays actors play tough guys but never were. Way back when in movies, tough guys were played by real tough guys. Anyone remember Audie Murphy?
Movies today in general ( 95%) like our politicians SUCK. The acting , the story , the cinematographers were artists . The country was better than too .
Any REAL man knows Audie Murphy. Toughest SOB who ever lived, confirmed yo have killed 250 Germans. And I will fight any man who says he wasn’t a damned fine actor.
@@martinhanley9524 The liberal woke actors from classic Hollywood days like Paul Newman, Kirk Douglas, Sterling Hayden etc all served in combat during WW2. Meanwhile the darling of the Conservative Right John Wayne was a draftdodging chickensh!t dandy
Burt Reynolds, when he was very young and just in the early stages of his career once asked Spencer Tracy if there was anything that he wasn't good at, Tracy answered him back and said yes there is. LIFE!
Love this film. Got the script last year and there's not an ounce of fat anywhere - taught, spare, claustrophobic and beautifully paced. Would love to get to yhe location someday. Tracey's performance is masterful
Ernest Borgnine bullies Spencer Tracey in this film and Frank Sinatra in "From Here to Eternity. He's a goon and a ruffian, but in "Marty," he's a sweet, gentle soul, and we love him.
Brilliant movie with some of the best acting of the day. Both Marvin and Borgnine were especially menacing as the bad guys and, along with Robert Ryan, would team up again 12 years later to make one of my favourite movies of all time 'The Dirty Dozen'
It was Ernest Borgnines' idea to have Spencer Tracy use Judo in the fight. He had seen it when he was in the Navy. It is amazing to see Ernest here playing such a vile character and then a year later he beats out Spencer Tracy for the Oscar for Marty. Borgnine really was a great actor. He was like Paul Newman, he made every role look so natural and easy.
Fantastic movie shot in Lone Pine California, there's a little movie museum there with memorabilia from films shot in that location. The jeep and car from the chase along the roads behind Lone Pine are there and you can drive along the rough road the chase took place. Well worth a visit with the added bonus of Mt Whitney as a backdrop....
One hell of a Movie ,Ernest Borgnine ,Robert Ryan and Lee Marvin would reunite in The Dirty Dozen in 1967 as Major Reisman ,Colonel Breed and Borgnine as a General ,Great performances from all 3 ,Love all 3 here in this Hollywood Gold movie here ,Well done to the Greatest Generation of actors who starred in this along with Spencer Tracy,They sure do not make them like this anymore ❤️❤️❤️🎥
This was one the the numerous films that was shown in my College Class of The history of Western Films. I liked it so much , I took it 3 times ! The filming location was just outside of Lone Pine Ca., and was also used in Nevada Smith , Talion , and Audie Murphy's "Hell bent for leather" .
The last time saw this movie I looked it up and sure enough, The 442nd Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment of the United States Army. The regiment is best known as the most decorated in U.S. military history and as a fighting unit composed almost entirely of second-generation American soldiers of Japanese ancestry who fought in World War II.
Borgnine's character claimed to be half horse; after seeing how he acted, the way Tracy's character defended himself and how his character kept coming back for more, it became obvious which half of the horse he was.
Remember reading Borgnine telling the story that the prop guy forgot to loosen the screws on the door that he went flying thru...it was actually bolted in the frame...he really felt it when he went thru it...a great movie...
Two of my favorites pf all time fighting it out. I saw Ernest talking about this scene. He said the screen door was supposed to be unlocked but wasn't and it made for a better scene. Such a great film.
During rehearsals the door just flew open when Borgnine crashed into it. For the scene Sturges secured it with a hook and eyelet so Borgnine ripped it off the hinges, much to his surprise.
Classic cinema.....in reality these actors lived unique and remarkable lives...it's no wonder they are so convincing to watch here. I believe I am right in saying Ernest Borgnine was certainly no bully in real life and was immensely likable. I remember this film so well. The inner strength and resolve of the lead character has stayed with me.
This was unquestionably one of the greatest movies of the 1950s and just missed out for an Academy Award. Tracy, as usual ,was simply outstanding. The supporting cast were also exceptional. They just don't have the actors today to compete with this stellar cast.
Ernie was actually a very big stocky guy back when most men were very slender. Keep in mind the US Govt started the school food program because so many boys were not having enough to eat when they joined up in WW2.
Ernest Borgnine was advised to audition for Marty by Spencer Tracy while filming Bad Day at Black Rock. Borgnine won the Oscar for the role over Tracy's performance in Bad Day.
I heard Borgnine interviewed and he said that in rehearsals the screen door was always unlatched. Someone latched it before the actual take, and we see it knocked completely off its hinges.

Rest In Peace sir and thanks for the great films and TV shows !
everyone that met him in real life loved him --- the real deal
I remember those shows
Ernie used to come to Australia and he’d just go into a bar or pub on his own and sit & talk to regular folks. A great guy apparently.
McCale!!
If I remember right (I'm 71) he had 2 top rated shows on TV at the same time, and a few years after they ended, he had a 3rd.
He continued working, accepting small parts, for the rest of his life. He just liked it.
one of the best movies of all time and great acting. “you’re not only wrong, you’re wrong at the top of your voice.” a classic.

Just think about 12 years later 3 of the actors would be in “The Dirty Dozen “ together.
Have a great day!
Now there's real acting - keep going back to this scene. Borgnine and Tracey, a match made in heaven.

No one in Hollywood could match Ernie for simply oozing such a menacing persona.
A lost soul who found himself a cause and himself again. Lovely movie, moment and sense of the time that was then 🙂

Do you know the shooting locations?
You're right. It was filmed in Lone Pine. I've read the entire town exteriors were built for the film with the interiors on stage sets.
The film company was granted permission only if they would dismantle and cart off everything so that the area would remain pristine The company agreed and followed through with the agreement. The train never ever stopped there, save for the film scenes.
Sadly nothing remains to show where the film location was. Like the great radio shows, the small town only exists in our collective minds.
One of my absolutely favorite movies. I always watch it. Beautifully done. Great cast. One movie I always recommend.
Wonderful scene. Wonderful movie. And wonderful fight scene without CGIs or cables.

I saw this when I was 10 or 12 in the early 1980s. Was quite impressed that time. Havn´t seen it for a while. Thanks for this little clip.
One hell of a movie...Great cast
Borgnine learned to never mess with Spencer Tracy or Ethyl Merman.
Lmbo
One of the all time classics. As current as ever in these divided times...
I have this film on DVD and it's full of Hollyqood stars from the 1950's. An excellent film to watch
What a cast.What a story.What a movie.
Spencer Tracy with that hat cocked at just the right angle. Hat doesn’t fall off or anything. Perfect.
Great movie and a terrific scene. What a cast too. 👏👏👏👏🙋♂️🇬🇧
To me, these two may have been the greatest actors ever!
Captain courageous and this guy !
Marty and that guy !
The last time saw this movie I looked it up and sure enough, The 442nd Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment of the United States Army. The regiment is best known as the most decorated in U.S. military history and as a fighting unit composed almost entirely of second-generation American soldiers of Japanese ancestry who fought in World War II.
Senator Daniel Inouye was in the 442nd. The 442nd got a shout-out in the old Mchale's Navy show when it was set in Italy.
@@lawrencelewis2592 Watch “Go For Broke” a pretty good movie.
@@rpm12091 Thanks, I'll check it out.
@@lawrencelewis2592 that was a good one, the first episode of the final season set in Italy
@@lawrencelewis2592he is from Hawaii...airport named after him...
A textbook movie. Acting, direction, script all par excellence. A rare moment in Hollywood history. Brilliant stuff.
One of the greatest American 50s films! Spencer Tracy made film acting an art form.
Spencer Tracy the epitome of cool
I loved Ernest borgnine's travel documentary show in his RV he was like a favorite uncle a super nice guy
Borgnine's character claimed to be half horse; after seeing how he acted, the way Tracy's character defended himself and how his character kept coming back for more, it became obvious which half of the horse he was.
Remember reading Borgnine telling the story that the prop guy forgot to loosen the screws on the door that he went flying thru...it was actually bolted in the frame...he really felt it when he went thru it...a great movie...
Two of my favorites pf all time fighting it out. I saw Ernest talking about this scene. He said the screen door was supposed to be unlocked but wasn't and it made for a better scene. Such a great film.
Saw this as a kid ,at the drive in,great acting ,pacing , direction...
During rehearsals the door just flew open when Borgnine crashed into it. For the scene Sturges secured it with a hook and eyelet so Borgnine ripped it off the hinges, much to his surprise.
He got hurt doing the stunt. Sturges could be a cruel drunk. Borgnine could be a real tough guy. He kept on working without bitching.
Excellent movie with a great cast. BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK is a classic.
Classic cinema.....in reality these actors lived unique and remarkable lives...it's no wonder they are so convincing to watch here. I believe I am right in saying Ernest Borgnine was certainly no bully in real life and was immensely likable. I remember this film so well. The inner strength and resolve of the lead character has stayed with me.
Well said.
Borgnine sure doesn't LOOK big, not in other movies.
To say they don't make them like this is an understatement.
To make a film like this in the 50's when there was racism everywhere and intense hatred of the Japanese took a lot of balls.
oh tons of courage
Racism in the 50.s just like today no difference. I have never experienced racism but of course I am white.
@@dnx112 move to Bradford then you will experience it.
Racism has always been unpopular, and the postwar era was especially opposed to racism.
@@howardaspinall5675where’s Bradford?
Brilliant casting and acting from all.
This was unquestionably one of the greatest movies of the 1950s and just missed out for an Academy Award. Tracy, as usual ,was simply outstanding. The supporting cast were also exceptional. They just don't have the actors today to compete with this stellar cast.
We do have good actors today. You're just old and cantankerous.
Ernie was actually a very big stocky guy back when most men were very slender. Keep in mind the US Govt started the school food program because so many boys were not having enough to eat when they joined up in WW2.
Here we go again , well played, small town America at Its best. A great picture.the movie paints a very vivid picture.
Most American small towns are very friendly, and hospitable as opposed to crime ridden big cities.
Great film with a great cast, Borgnine Robert Ryan and Lee Marvin.
Love the incredulous look of a wide open mouth on Lee Marvin s face
Nice one with the hand across the throat technique 👌
Ernest Borgnine was advised to audition for Marty by Spencer Tracy while filming Bad Day at Black Rock. Borgnine won the Oscar for the role over Tracy's performance in Bad Day.
I heard Borgnine interviewed and he said that in rehearsals the screen door was always unlatched. Someone latched it before the actual take, and we see it knocked completely off its hinges.
