I said a while back that the fight scene between Spencer Tracy and Ernest Borgnine seemed less plausible each time I saw it. I watched the movie again and listened to the director's commentary. Director John Sturges said that Tracy felt the same way---didn't think it was realistic.
Sturges made a call and got a Jiu-Jitsu instructor from the Marine Corps to look at the scene. He watched it. Thought it was implausible because, if it was done right, Spencer Tracy would have killed Ernest Borgnine with the first judo chop.
