I miss Quicksand.
As a child I always felt it was a constant threat. Kids today don't know the dangers of it and the shocking image of the last piece of a person body dissapearing into it.
Monkeys wearing fezs can also be just as evil as the (usually fat) bad guy wearing one. Actually I'd extend to any simian wearing head gear. Its a dead giveaway like some one wearing raybans and a uniform in a 3rd world country.
Always been a fan of Judo in old flicks - as well as the famous 'Judo Chop' theres actually some real Judo in some of these flicks. Blood on the Sun starring James Cagney (who was a Judoka Black Belt) has some great moves in it. Sands of Imo Jimo has the Duke practicing the gentle art and the original Cape Fear shows Max Cady taking out a guy with a rear naked choke (while topless).But my fave intro to Judo came with 70's TV for me with Captain Kirk and his flawless Tomenage (monkey flip to us ignorant Gaijin).
As for rope - some people still keep a coil handy. I for one have a good length in my car boot along with a roll of plastic sheeting, duct tape and a sack of quicklime. Be prepared is my motto.
