Polish HammerThe polish hammer is a dramatic fighting or professional wrestling move in which a combatant clasps his hands together, raises them high above his head, and brings them down on an oppponent's back or neck. The move was extremely popular in American television and movies during the late 1960s and early 1970s, and almost every staged fist fight would end with the hero using the polish hammer to defeat his opponent. Notably, the technique is used as a "finishing blow" by Logan on Francis in Logan's Run, and in numerous fights between Captain Kirk and his opponents in Star Trek. The polish hammer disappeared in the late-1970s, when the "wild west" fighting style it was part of was eclipsed by the skyrocketing popularity of kung fu and karate in films and television.
