Bad Day At Black Rock scene

- One of the all time great movies and certainly one of the all time great scenes from Bad Day At Black Rock. It's a scene you can watch again and again. Fact is, you can watch this film again and again - and still discover something fresh and interesting each time . The hero is very quiet; nobody underplayed a part better than Spencer Tracy did in this movie. Great script by Millard Kaufman, Don McGuire and Howard Breslin - and very sure-handed direction from John Sturges, who also did another 191 Movie - The Great Escape. Some directors simply know the best way to stage action. Simply.

67 yrs later and still holds up with Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin and Robert Ryan starring together 13 years after this in 1967 in The Dirty Dozen,A Great performance from all 3 and a Memorable performance from Spencer Tracy ,The Greatest Generation of Actors here ❤️ 🇺🇲 🙏
(actually 68 years later, since it was filmed in 1954 ).

Ernest Borgnine had an audition for Marty during the filming of Bad Day at Black Rock. This was a lead, and Ernest was ill-at-ease. He confided that in Spencer Tracey. Spencer told him he'd be a huge hit in the part. Ernest never forgot that kindness.
Yes, a good move to go from violent psycho hooligan to a more sensitive and thoughtful role...
That is a cool story of one actor helping out another actor.
According to Ernie, Spence also said "you don't need to audition, you are a star"....
@@steveconkey7362 And he was. Few men that size and with that mug could pull off as many diverse roles as Ernie. And perhaps one of the most genuine nice guys in Hollywood.
I stopped watching new movies and started watching these old ones.
Even without color and special effects, they are absolutely great!
And it's good to see famous actors in their younger days and earlier roles.
Classic movies WAY better than modern movies
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Borgnine. What a wonderful encounter. Truly nice, humble, funny and totally unspoiled by Hollywood. I'll always treasure our meeting. RIP ERNEST 😊
A truly lucky person. Tell that to your children and grandchildren.
@@55Quirll agreed.Man,he was a seriously underrated actor.
Borgnine got his start at the Barter Theater in Abingdon, Virginia, right down the road from where I grew up.
Yes..... very lucky indeed. He seemed like a very nice person.
@ 17 76 thanks for sharing your story. 😎🇺🇸✌🏽
Ah I love watching Ernie. He can play the goodie, the baddie, the comedian, and whatever... So talented, and such a great guy...
Yep but no match for Spencer lol
Borgnine was brilliant.To emphasise your point,look at his roles in "Marty" and "the Wild Bunch".
.... a centurion.
and even Seaweed Man on SpongeBob
@@dempsey9554 Tracey low-key, but 'good' style :)
I love Ernest Borgnine. He's one of those rare actors that can play a loveable teddy bear character you want to hug and a despicable slimy bad guy you want to die in agony.
So true 👍
Spot on. There aren't enough man''s men like Borgnine, Lee Marvin, Mitcham, Douglas and Lancaster today. Sure there are good actors but I can't really think of one that carries the rough, tough persona like the ones I mentioned. Harrison Ford occasionally but not many others. Maybe Mel Gibson in the first two Lethal Weapon films.
@@kevinmcdonald4040 Kevin Costner is equally good at both good and bad guy parts.
@@maxbrazil3712 Good choice.
One of the greatest! I saw him in multiple interviews and you could tell he was a genuine, down to earth guy with a big heart.
Ernest Borgnine sure was versatile. Here (and in "From Here to Eternity") he played thugs. In "Marty" he played a sensitive, painfully shy, lonely man. But he helped make us laugh out loud in "McHale's Navy." What an actor!
He was also the voice for Mermaid Man...
very well put.
he was also a taxi driver with a passenger named snake!
Dominic Santini.
A lovely man.
In real life, Ernest Borgnine had tremendous respect towards Spencer Tracy. He felt it was an honor to work with him. And here he has the honor of getting beaten to a pulp by Tracy!
Borgnine's stunt double played being thrown around and karate chopped by Tracy's stunt double.
This is all pretend. They are doing acting and reciting lines that a person wrote. It isn't a real diner. It is pretend. I think....
I thought that was Ernest.
Nobody should disdain falling to their hero.
@@BanjoLuke1
Why thank you, I had no idea Specer Tracey, Ernest Borgnine, and Robert Ryan were actors....I thought we were just lucky to catch them on film in their various mischiefs!
We're fortunate as a species, to have such as you to keep us informed.
Now tell me about water....what makes it so wet?....you seem to be an expert!
I love these old movies and the great actors in them..
I remembered this scene back when I was about 12 years old. I never forgot it to this day. Then, I told myself, being old doesn't make a man any weaker than a younger man. Especially when you can fight.
Just remember the ancient adage: "Age & treachery will ALWAYS overcome youth and skill!"
I remember very well this scene when I was young! It was cool to see Tracey such a badass 😎
@@paoloviti6156 , yep! I especially liked how Spencer walked up to him after the first chop. As if he was saying, " I'm waiting."
Ernest Borgnine was a natural gifted actor that can play any role.
All ways loved this film
What a cast
Walter brennen...Robert Ryan. ..
Spencer Tracey. ...Lee Marvin
Ernie borgnine....Fantastic.
Nobody expected Spencer Tracy to be an action hero,he sure was badass
Both Spencer Tracy & Ernest Borgnine are Bad Ass actors.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
The first martial arts moment in an American movie.
Spencer Tracy was one of the most talented actors Hollywood ever had. The passion, the delivery, the presence, all of it up to the nines. I can't imagine him playing a bad guy though.
A class actor surrounded by other very good actors turning this story into something more than it might have been. Thanks for the memories.
A fantastic movie and the acting is top notch. The way Spencer Tracey plays this scene is exciting.
I grew up watching old movies (hats off to my dad +TCM) and this was one of my favorites, loved the dark tone and the quest for justice aspect.
The classic "stupid bad guys underestimate the stranger" scene. No matter how many times I see it, I never get tired of it.
I wish I could say the same for pointless posts like yours.

This was a marvelous movie and what an unbeatable cast of actors! Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin were great buddies for several before appearing in this movie together. Marvin was far more experienced than Borgnine and enjoyed playing pranks on his friend. Ernest told in the story in his autobiography of how Lee Marvin almost caused him to break his shoulder when he played a joke while shooting this scene. The door which Ernest took with him in the fight with Spencer Tracey, was checked and re-checked to make sure it would open easily when Ernest hit it. Just before the directer yelled action, Lee Marvin slipped out and used the outside bolt to lock the door securely. Ernest hit the door hard and instead of swinging open it held until his full weight carried the door off it's hinges bolt and all. Ernest was almost knocked unconscious and when you see him staggering around trying to get up, it's not acting! The two guys remained friends until Marvins death in the 1980s.
If your story is true, then I lost a lot of respect for Lee Marvin to play such a dirty trick on a fellow actor. I'd be tempted to kick such "friend" in the you-know-where with ALL MY MIGHT!!
@Todd Wrong! I happen to come from "back then" and from a tough neighborhood. And if any of my friends pulled such a lousy, dangerous joke, there would be a bitter fight to settle the matter. Stupid is stupid, regardless of when. Be strong, tough and friendly, Marvin was a jerk!
@@MrTrackman100 Then when did you become a girlyman? I agree with Todd here, you are the jerk.
@@MrTrackman100 Just because you're from a neighborhood like that from "back then" doesn't mean you were ONE of the tough ones. You're soft and weak and Borgnine was way more man and friend than you could ever hope to be with the fact that he took the hard prank in stride.
@Todd What makes you think anyone wants you dragging your dumbass politics into this?
Isn't refreshing to see how good acting can be? No car crashes, no CGI, no 1000s of extras, no hip soundtrack, no hundreds of other things going on at the same time to keep today's Gen interested, just a few of the best actors in the history of film working their craft to perfection in a small room. Oh and yeah, some extras at the tables as well. That's how it's done kids.
No woke BS.
The film is quite woke I think. It’s about how some Americans in WW2 lynched a Japanese American, out of a mix of envy and patriotic rage, and how they are brought down by an upstanding citizen with a moral compass. Great movie.
@@nigeljones9849 This film was made before "wokeness" was a concept. Tracy plays a vet of the 1943-45 Italian Campaign where he gave his arm and his Nisei comrade in arms of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team gave his life and was awarded a medal for his valor. Oh just a note-the 442nd Regt. Combat Team was the most decorated unit in US Army history comprised of "Jap" Americans. Those certainly aren't "woke" concepts. There was no intimation the other men in the film are to have taken any part in the War although Robert Ryan's character was said to have tried to enlist in the USMC and met with rejection. What is "woke" about any of that? Did the film say that these desert town men were SO patriotic they went to LA to work in the hundreds of then defense plants? Nope. They sat on their butts and killed a Nisei because he was a "Jap" and they resented him. If anything it is a murder mystery. It would also be a lesson not to just wave a flag but to get involved in the fight for your Nation's future.
. @benchipley This film is the definition of "woke" long before that term ever existed.
Perfect cinema. Just a stellar cast led by Spencer Tracey. Brilliantly written and does not date. Powerful performances and a strong story.
What a cast. When actors were men, and cared about their work. I love it when Tracy flings the knife at Ryan
and then Ryan drops it, then recovers, and saves the scene.
Remember when we were Kids, They were characters that played on television shows and movies, That showed us that If you did the right honorable thing, You could always walk or ride away proud.
Not so much nowadays. Sometimes I wonder if that's one of the reasons things are so upside down
Remember when we
Spencer Tracy was a SUPERB actor.
Borgnine, Ryan and Marvin reunited years later in Dirty Dozen. 📺⚘️🎬
Perfect film. Great actors. Superb performances from Spencer Tracey and co. True giants of American cinema and directed by the great John Sturges.
"You're not only wrong, you're wrong at the top of your voice." Classic line!
Ni, 🚧
I have used that line ever since watching this film with Moses .great film
Best scene in the entire film. Loved it since first watched in 1987. I was having a hard time getting bullied in school so was really cheering for Spencer Treacy when he put big Ernest down. He was put in his place. Seen this film just the 5 times in the past 31 years. They don't make them like this any more. Movies are not what they used to be.
One of the best performances by Spencer!
For a kind time I didn't like robert Ryan as a actor. But as I got older I changed my mind and now he is one of my favorite actors always choose the uncomfortable characters and made them real rather than cartoon character. This shows how great an actor he was.
The word in Hollywood was that Robert Ryan was a genuinely nice guy. Everybody liked him.
Agreed
Spencer Tracy was an underrated badass in this movie; an older one armed hero who kicked the ass of younger bullies...
Too bad Spencer Tracey's character didn't kick Ernest in the nuts, that would've been hilarious!
Spencer Tracy is such a great actor. One of the all time best.
And, possessing of 2 (count 'em) great thumbs.
@James Henderson man, ya think the dudes too old, but-maybe ex-Vet the way he handled himself-
@James Henderson We had sergeants in WW2 in North Africa in their forties who had served in WW1
@James Henderson Well good for him
@James Henderson And when did your G/father get there. Dont forget we had Cadre from WW1 in Africa in 1940
I can't believe I was probably close to 50 years old before I watched this Classic.They just didn't show it often that I remember.
It's the nuanced things of these great actors we need to pay attention too sometimes! When Tracy pays for his meal, he doesn't just throw the coin on the counter, you hear him place it down, softly, two clicks. When Ryan tries to catch the knife, purely accidental he mishandled it, but straight on with the scene as totally normal, reaches over and gets hold of it and still going with his lines, Marvins facial reactions in the background, all great stuff!
It's possible that Ryan's not catching the knife was intentional, as it would signify that he's now lost his 'edge', and that he's on shaken by the way that things didn't come out
One solution to Smith's dilemma would have been for him to have dug up Komoko's body overnight and burned it thoroughly in some distant spot. Macready could tell the cops what he knew but there'd only be some disturbed ground and obvious traces of a body (after four years) but nothing else (no DNA tests in 1945).
Tossing an open switch blade is pretty dangerous, and I'm surprised it went like this without more serious injury to Ryan. It would have been safer to let the knife land untouched, but I think the natural reaction is for a guy to try to catch it. It's awkward the way the knife bounces off Ryan's hand and lands on the pinball machine. It could have been more disastrous. But I get the film's concept of Ryan not being able to catch a sharp blade--a sign of his weakening and likely downfall.
Aging Spencer Tracy is a true badass in this picture.
4 world class acting legends in one bar,Robert Ryan,Spencer Tracey,Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin,doesn't get any better than that
Don't forget Brennan!
"Four great actors walk into a bar, . . ."
Watched this movie for the first time this year. Now I won’t delete it from the DVR. A modern western. A classic
Without a doubt, the best scene in the whole movie. What a classic.
Great Clip , Great Actors , make great movies , thanks.......
Having seen lots of movies in which great actors took on bad scripts and/or bad directors and lost, I think you need at least a decent script and a good director to make a great movie.
This is one of those highly under rated, brilliant written, small cast and brilliant acted movies.
You stupid bitch This film isn't underrated but your intelligence is vastly OVERRATED
What a great movie! Seen it dozens of times and still can watch it back to back!
My dad was a huge Spencer Tracy fan. He like Ernest Borgnine too. I watched this movie with him shortly before he died.
'You're not only wrong, you're wrong at the top of your voice'. I like it !
Years later, Tracy delivered a similar line in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner ... "You're not only wrong -- You're loud wrong "
I’ve never noticed this before, but Spencer Tracy delivered a lot of lines in this movie with his head down. Even so, he is still the one you are looking at.
One of my top 10 Movies, reminds me of the old adage, never judge a Book by it's cover ,From Glasgow 😎 🇬🇧
I remember watching this when I was a young boy, it stuck with me all of these years.
You know what’s coming, you’ve seen it a thousand times before, yet we always comeback for another viewing. Sergio Leone learnt this and applied it to perfection. A magnificent scene in a magnificent movie. And what a cast!!
"Not only are you wrong, but you're wrong at the top of your voice."
God how I miss these guys.
Watched this movie a few years back . Couldn't believe how good it was and with an all star cast !
Hats off to a great movie five OSCAR winning actors Tracy,Jagger,Brennan,Borgnine and Marvin of all time.
Reynold Gibbings Don’t forget Robert Ryan
A great actor.2 time Academy awards winner,Captains Courageous,&Boys Town.Just saw INHERIT THE WIND,again for the 10th time.A legend& a real gentleman.They dont make em like that anymore.
Great actors respected each other and allowed the other to have his space.
One of the most underrated "Westerns" ever.
A fantastically focused and skilled actor, this fight scene of Spencer Tracy's is one of the best in the history of cinema, as it reveals how martial arts can enable a physically outclassed man to defend himself, adequately.
Exactly, hard to tell whether it was judo or conventional Ju Jitsu,
Another Japanese American Soldier Soldier taught Spencer Tracy Karate. That soldier's name was Mr. Miyagi. Later, Mr. Miyagi moved to California and taught this bullied Kid- Daniel LaRusso- (aka The Karate Kid)- Karate. The Rest is History.
It all looks impressively easy when choreographed for a movie-scene on a studio set. It would be less so in a real-life situation of less-even odds,when your (say) yellow-belt protagonist is up against a group, or against someone holding a gun or a knife.
In this scene, when Tracy turns his back, you're looking at his stunt-double, one of three used during the picture: in this scene, the 'double' was most likely Carey Loftin who later did the 'truck driver' work in the film "Duel".
His defense was more than adequate. It was humiliating to his opponent.
wow look at all those great actors in that scene
Lee Marvin? Get outta here! Love it!
An absolute classic, no CGI, just a great script and actors who were real superstars in their day.
lol, what does CGI have to do with this?
You're right about this being an unforgettable movie! Spencer Tracy isn't just good, he's AMAZING as a very quiet, competent man determined to find out who killed his friend no matter who gets in his way.
It wasn't his friend he was after. He was trying to give a medal to the father of a dead Japanese American Soldier who saved his life in WW2. But the Father was actually murdered by a racist mob at the outbreak of the war.
What a cast: spencer Tracey,Robert Ryan, lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine and I think Walter Brennan was the doctor. Great clip.
one of my favorite scenes; Spencer Tracy shows how to put a bully in his place; both tremendous actors of course.
Tremendous stunt-work, that is: note how Borgnine's ferocious swing at Tracy (2.46) comes to a dead stop as Tracy('s stunt-double) chops him and knees him: even judo skills couldn't have arrested the momentum of Borgnine's bulky frame.
Classic Movie, one of my favorite films.
Ernest Borgnine and Robert Ryan co-starred with William Holden, Ben Johnson, and Warren Oates in Sam Peckinpah’s western epic The Wild Bunch (1969).
Great film
"It ain't like it used to be...but it'll do."
This was a great movie. Spencer Tracy at the top of his game.
Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan, Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine. Probably 4 of the greatest actors of all time. Three of which went on to star in The Dirty Dozen

I am a pre 1970's movie junky then a less with each decade until now I might have a handful, or two, of movies I care about made over the last 20 years. Pretty pathetic and when I think about it less than a handful over the last decade. Now with SJW/PC being shoved down our throats I have none.
Makes you realize what great movie making truly was …
Great Acting, Plot, and Screen Play….
All brought together with one of the greatest Directors ever,
John Sturges
Great movie with the best actors of the day.
These guys don't only knock the hell out of each other, but, the wreck the joint as well !!
The flip out the bar and seeing the screen door fall apart, now that's a great shot!
And we lose another legend. RIP Earnest.
Absolute classic, and what a cast four great actors in one scene, Laurence Olivier said that Tracy was the greatest screen actor of all time.
Charles Laughton said Robert Mitchum was the greatest talent ever to appear in front of a movie camera.
When my dad was alive, this was one of his favorite movies. He always talked about this film!! It’s one of the great Hollywood classics.
Hardly breaks a sweat...Most unusual fight scene I ever saw...
THE CAST HAD 5 Academy Award Winners, all rolled up in one Fabulous Movie ! Oh yeah add the Director as another AAW! ✌️🌻
This movie is unquestionably one of the finest movies ever made. Stellar performances from top class actors.
The subject matter, racism and hate, was pretty bold for the day too. Just 10 years after WWII and the internment camps.
I like the long takes, no quick cutting, such a great film
Absolute classic movie. Has to be watched to truly appreciate the class acting, action and actors-many ex marines just in this scene. Quality just doesn't get old.
There is no such thing as an "ex" Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Has to be in the top ten films of all time! From the time when actors could not fall back on CGI to win audience attention. This film had everything with a great storyline to use as a foundation that great actors could build on!
one of my all time favorite movies
the oxbow incident; another moral lesson...
One of best fight/acting/speech scenes ever.
No cgi, no crazy stunts, just awesome actors.

Gonna watch this whole movie tonight after work.
I'm trying to think of a fight on screen that would have gone completely opposite in real life. Off the top of my head, I can't think of one. That's what Hollywood is all about.
Got to be one of my top five films of all time, a simple plot but brilliant acting by all. A film to watch over and over.
one of the best under rated movies from yesterday
one of the best scenes in cinema history
@Jim McCracken sweep the leg Oswald … ua-cam.com/video/CyprZbxKlCk/v-deo.html
This scene was used in an A-Team episode titled "A Nice Place To Visit"
Ernest Borgnine, in real life the nicest guy and most well liked in Hollywood. He lived to be 95
he could play every character in the book
John Smith He also liked trucks and trucking.He used to travel around the country in an rv and stop in the truck stops and eat and talk to the drivers.
Very sad didn’t know he left us
He was forever on of the best of his generation. I started watching his movies in the 80's
Pt-76 McHale's Navy and Gilligan's island,fun shows.
A fantastic movie
Borgnine was a WWII Navy vet; Tracy a WWI Navy vet; while Ryan and Marvin served as WWII Marines.
@Paul Kryder That's how he got the role of McHale. He told the producers he had boat experience on the ocean. They said 'that's EXACTLY what we're looking for!' So he got the role and the rest is history.
Marvin was badly wounded in the Pacific.
Back when movies had GREAT actors!
I think many people of my age group will always think of a one-armed guy in black when we hear the name, Spencer Tracy. Such a memorable performance.
Two great actors.
Though it was made five years before I was born this was one of the great films of my early adolescence. Three greats of the screen.
Hahaaaa...Lee Marvin's like..."I don't think I should mess with that old dude"....lol
Bad Day at Black Rock is a classic, it was shot in Lone Pine California, there is a small movie museum with memorabilia of this film and many others shot in the area. In an area called The Alabama Hills just west of Lone Pine there is a loop road called Movie Road, it's the route of the car chase, I made a point of driving it when I visited there. Lone Pine is a great stop over on a US road trip with lots of things to do and see in the area, the R395 is a very scenic drive.
I did the exact same thing. Yes, beautiful 395. Stayed in Lone Pine, did the Alabama and museum, checked out Bishop, Mono, Mammoth, all the way to Tahoe.
Much of the picture had to be shot on studio sound-stages, for technical and budgetary reasons. The 'desert' seen outside the café in the fight scene is just scenery.
What a classic movie, brilliant story, brilliant acting, I used to enjoy that movie coming on TV now and again.
What a cool scene, Spencer kicked his ass and Ernest was wearing the screen door on his way out!
To make the scene more plausible, it was Ernest who suggested that Spencer use Judo in the scene, since he had studied it himself in the past.
Every line of dialogue clear as a bell, unlike the mumbling you get in films today.The only way to follow dialogue these days is to turn on the subtitles.
You got that right
Maybe we are just getting and old and can't hear anymore lol.
Couldn't agree more. I recently watched the film 'Fury' and could have done with subtitles with all the mumbling actors in it.
"You're not only wrong. you're wrong at the top of your voice? ". Good line.
This is such an underrated movie and it is a classic. Borgnine, Tracy, Marvin, Ryan, Brennan. All good actors.
gotta love Spencer Tracey............one of the best!!!!
Best moment: When Spencer Tracy tosses the knife and Ryan fumbles it. That is genius.
I thought he was going to throw it and stick it in the wall. That's always impressive.
Yeah that seemed so natural and realsitic
Don't try to catch a falling knife.
He should have said, send any of your bullies I'll kill them and then come for you
I always saw the fumble as a sort of admission that the one fellow is in over his head.
Bad guy, runs the town, can't catch a weapon tossed gently to him.
Speaks volumes of his competence.
The very young Robert Wagner had just been signed by the studio, and for his first or second role was assigned to play Tracy's son in a western. Understandably nervous, on the first day on set he kept calling his screen father "Mr. Tracy." Tracy finally told him, "Call me Spence." When Wagner asked him for a tip about his part, Tracy said, "Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture." Today, when I'm in a community theater production and a young actor/actress asks for a tip, I quote what I call "Tracy's Law".
The sad part for me is when someone asks, "Who is Tracy?"
thank you for posting
Love Spencer Tracy.....reminds me of a bear...don't underestimate ever. Kick ass film for it's time
Tracy,Ryan,Borgnine and Marvin.....Some line up, man.
and walter brennan at the end add dean jagger the main cast were all oscar winners fairly unique i think.
Great shout Mike. Bobby Ryan never won an oscar but good God he shoulda somewhere along the line..
sorry my bad though i think he got nominated a couple of times should have one one for the set up no disrespect to marlon but ryan showed him how a washed up boxer behaves
Plus one of the greatest actors never to win an oscar.
yep i marked out instantly!!!!!!!! lol
I remember this scene well from watching it as a boy, it left such an impression on me. I’m 56 now, and it still impresses me. These were not just actors, they were REAL men of my fathers generation, with military experience, often from poor backgrounds, and genuinely tough to the core.
These are the kind of men my father grew up admiring. And so do I.
Yeah, violence is good 🙂
My Dad ALSO Introduced Me To That Scene When I was just a Kid.
Genuine BADASS 💪😎👌 !!
Lee Marvin: Marine WW II / Robert Ryan: Marine WW II / Ernest Borgnine: Navy WW II. All liked and respected in Hollywood
Tracy is said to have been a covert [what else?] homosexual and a guilt-ridden alcoholic, but it's what's on the screen that counts.
Half of the "martial arts" scene used a stunt-double dressed like Tracy in that baggy suit: if you watch closely at 2.31, you see Tracy look down to position his feet on the markers so that his double (someone who knew judo,etc.) could come in and take his place and carry on the fight sequence.
