I'm posting a video as well as an animated GIF set of some Judo action from a TV episode, Gilligan's Island S01E31: "Diogenes, Won't You Please Go Home?" (May 1, 1965) from 52 years ago which aired on this date.
Episode Synopsis
Everyone becomes suspicious of Gilligan when they discover that he's been keeping a diary, and they respond by creating their own written accounts of how they saved Gilligan from the Japanese soldier.
Director: Christian Nyby
Writers: Sherwood Schwartz (created by), David P. Harmon
Bob Denver as Gilligan
Vito Scotti as Japanese Sailor
Tina Louise as Ginger
Unknown stuntman for Ginger (it is clear that Tina Louise didn't do the Judo moves and that it was a stuntman with a wig on :)
Enjoy!
Ginger appears from behind the tree.
GINGER
I will save you, Gilligan.
JAPANESE SAILOR
It's American movie star. It's come for the rescue, huh? Oh, that's ridiculous.
GINGER
You think I'm just a movie star, don't you?
GILLIGAN
You mean, behind that greasepaint there's something we don't know about?
GINGER
I'm Secret Agent thirty-seven twenty-five thirty-six.
JAPANESE SAILOR
Thirty-seven twenty-five thirty-six? Oh, mama-san, that's no secret.
GINGER
I am a judo expert.
JAPANESE SAILOR
And I'm good-rooking. Ha! You judo expert? All right, rots of ruck.
GINGER
Holder of the black belt.
GILLIGAN
Hurray!
Ginger reaches into the crotch of the tree and removes a judo robe.
JAPANESE SAILOR
What the --
Ginger puts the robe on. Gilligan, though loosely tied to the tree, lends a hand and assists Ginger in putting on the robe.
GINGER
Thank you, Gilligan.
The Japanese Sailor helps Ginger adjust the robe too. The Japanese Sailor hands his rifle to Gilligan.
GINGER (cont'd)
(French)
En garde.
The Japanese Sailor mutters faux Japanese and lunges at Ginger.
SERIES OF SHOTS IN FAST MOTION
Ginger, now barefoot, tosses Japanese Sailor on the ground.
Gilligan winces in sympathetic pain.
The Japanese Sailor kicks at Ginger. She parries and throws him to the ground.
Gilligan winces.
Ginger coifs her hair. Japanese Sailor jumps to his feet and struggles with Ginger.
Ginger tosses him to the ground with a THUD.
Gilligan winces in sympathy.
Japanese Sailor rises to his fit, throws a judo-punch, which Ginger dodges, and she tosses him face-first to the ground.
He rises to his knees and Ginger gives him a karate-chop to his back, laying him out.
BACK TO SCENE
GINGER (cont'd)
So much for him.
GILLIGAN
Ginger, I mean, thirty-seven twenty-five thirty-six, you were great.
Ginger puts her shoes back on.
GINGER
Oh, thanks, Gilligan.
GINGER (cont'd)
I've got to free the others. I shall return.
I will post the video to this blog when I get the embed code. Please check out my site's Facebook page for the video in the meantime:

Loved that episode and, specifically, loved Ginger's version of saving Gilligan from the Japanese sailor. She used her black belt judo / karate skills to easily defeat the Japanese sailor, fighting in her sexy S.S. Minnow skirt. Great sound affects and I loved when she boasted, "so much for him." Only wished the scene was a bit longer so she could shown off a karate kick or two and then a sexy victory pose. Ginger power.
