Pressure Point: Difference between revisions

Line 86:

* Spoofed in an episode of ''[[The Goodies]]'' entitled "Kung Fu Capers": Reading from a book of martial arts instructions, Graham delivers a large number of light taps and pokes to various spots on Tim's body. After several seconds of nothing happening, Tim suddenly spasms and jerks back and forth before collapsing unconscious.

* ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' episode "The Living Dead". Emma Peel applies pressure to two points on the neck of a female guard's neck to render her unconscious.

* Used in [[Diagnosis Murder]]. Jesse's father needed him to calm down, so he put a comfroting hand on his shoulder. When that didn't work, he increased the pressure. Jesse protested and folded up. The unconsciousness lasted long enough for them to drive out of LA and for his father to have a long discussion, and there are no obvious side effects.

** Of course, Jesse should probably consider himself lucky his father didn't just choke him into unconsciousness like he did to Steve...
