Line 64:
* ''[[Our Man Flint]]''. Flint does a Vulcan neck pinch on the Galaxy agent supervising Gila's hypnotic indoctrination and several others as well.
* ''[[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]]'': Both Jade Fox and Li Mu Bai use pressure points in their first skirmish—Jade Fox to completely paralyze the [[Butt Monkey]] guard in place, and Li Mu Bai to reverse the effect.
* A downplayed, but quite severe version is shown in the ''[[Rocky]]'' series. One of the title character's favorite techniques is to deliver a machine-gun-like series of punches to the abdomen, until the target collapses from internal bleeding and cut-off respiration. In this case there is nothing subtle or mystical or cool about it and anyone who is large enough to stand up in a boxing match can do it. The target is a fairly large one. The abdomen is however a pressure point in the sense that it is a better target then the chest which is covered in bone. -->▼
Line 90 ⟶ 91:
* 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... <!--
