near the end of "the toy tiger" (1956), 6' 4" jeff chandler is put in a full nelson for about a minute. a few months ago the full movie was available on youtube but has since been removed. maybe it will show up again soon.
robert conrad was again put in a full nelson in the 1968 wild wild west episode "the night of the sedgewick curse". the unnamed but ruggedly handsome actor who applied the hold keeps it on for almost two minutes. advance to 45:40.
robert conrad was put in a full nelson by richard kiel (who was 13 inches taller) in the 1965 wild wild west episode "the night that terror stalked the town". advance to 22:20.
From the masked hero flick "Superargo", quick full nelson applied in the ring by Superargo on actor who appeared as a gladiator in various peplum films. Sound effects are cheesy. Advance to 3:58 for nelson, earlier (3:18) for start of match:
A non-wrestling full nelson from 1967's "Don't Make Waves". Dave Draper's shoulders are sore so he asks Reg Lewis to work out the kinks. Bad continuity when the angle changes:

oh yeah, that supposed full nelson from "dont make waves" is kind of an embarrassment especially to the editing department. i wonder how many takes they shot. wish we could see all that deleted footage.
if you want to see gordon scott in a full nelson, applied by gordon scott, advance this to 1:26:00, the beginning of the final fight scene in "goliath and the vampires" (1961). it's a short flash-in-the-pan, but worth seeing.
it seems like i've seen scott apply a full nelson in another movie, but i cant recall which one it was. maybe i dreamed it.
From "Goliath and the Rebel Slave", two full nelsons on Emilio Messina by an unknown actor. The first one at 00:45, the longer second one shortly after. Unfortunately, none on Gordon Scott (sigh):
alan steel was in an attempted full nelson in "hercules and the black pirate" (1963). it's obvious the other actor was supposed to lock it in, but he never did. oh well, we can always imagine...
sorry, forgot to include the time of the full nelson in the previous post. advance to 21:35 to see the beginning of the fight scene.
alan steel (sergio ciani) was put in a tighter full nelson in "ursus: the rebel gladiator" (1962). i like the way his facial expression changes throughout the quick hold... first wondering what hold he's being put into, then amusement, then a grimace as he feels the pain. steel seemed to enjoy all his fight/wrestling scenes in his movies.
advance to 11:00 for the beginning of the fight scene.
again steve reeves is clamped into a tight full nelson, and again the scene was edited - i'd have liked to see the few seconds before it's applied. the escape is lame, so i assume the director knew little about wrestling.
Love that one! VERY hot when the guy in the nelson reaches back and locks his hands behind the neck of the guy applying the nelson. Even better when they're both sweating heavily.
here's a beautiful full nelson on the great steve reeves. just wish it had been about 10 times longer. i love that a few seconds earlier he is put into a half nelson/half armbar.
I’ve said it before, but this is one of my all-time fav clips. It’s especially hot because Hercules is laughing and super confident right before the match starts...but right away he’s straining and in trouble.
Although not unexpected (full nelsons were a requirement in sword & sandal wrestling) I just find this one hot. Clip from "Hercules, Samson & Ulysses" opens with the nelson (Kirk Morris on Iloosh Khoshabe aka Richard Lloyd):
got into gladiator movies checking out on you tube. Most fight usually had a full nelson in them.
Full nelson is def a hot hold and hard to break from. I know cuz last year I wrestled a dude that was home on leave from Army basic training and I ended up submitting fight when he locked me in nelson.
incidentally, albert salmi lived only about 3 blocks away from my house in spokane, washington. he was also in "the brothers karamazov", my first post.
in the bonanza episode "silent thunder", albert salmi put a full nelson on michael landon. close examination of the camera shots reveals that they shot at least two takes of the full nelson, since the shots dont match. i'd love to have the out-takes. stella stevens plays the deaf character.
have you ever been watching a movie or tv show when there is a full nelson you didnt expect to see? i thought i'd see if we could start a list of known scenes with the hold.
in "the brothers karamazov" (1958) yul brynner puts a tight full nelson on an unknown actor. i havent seen the rest of the film to know if the actor has a larger role.
