Here's a rather odd piece of film of Norman Mailer and Rip Torn having a brawl. It's pretty intense with Torn attacking Mailer with a hammer so you've been forewarned.
The person who sent this to me seems to think this whole thing is for real. I'm not sure having discovered the footage was shot while Mr. Mailer was making a film in the 60's. Of course the film was supposedly 100% improvised and Mailer's idea was to provoke nasty reactions from people during the whole thing so perhaps he got what he was asking for out of ol' Rip.
I mean there's acting, then there's method acting then there's taking things to this level...you can't say as artists they didn't push themselves.
