Classic movie fight scenes : 75 years of bare knuckle brawls, 1914-1989 / Gene Freese. by Freese, Gene Scott, 1969- McFarland & Company. Inc., Publishers, 2017. Call #: 791.43655 F857c Subjects Violence in motion pictures.   Stage combat.   Hand-to-hand fighting. ISBN:  9781476669434 (pbk.) Description:  v, 336 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-306) and index. Summary:  "Both brawls and elaborate martial arts have kept movie audiences on the edge of their seats since cinema began. But the filming of fight scenes has changed significantly throughout the years--mainly for the safety of the combatants--from improvised scuffles in the Silent Era to exquisitely choreographed and edited sequences involving actors, stuntmen and technical experts. Examining more than 300 films--from The Spoilers (1914) to Road House (1989)--the author provides behind-the-scenes details on memorable melees starting such iconic tough-guys as John Wayne, Randolph Scott, Robert Mitchum, Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan"--Back cover.
