  • 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.

    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.

    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!)

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
