One of the wrestlers gets Bond in a bear hug and begins to squeeze the life out of him, at which point a desperate Bond decides to grab the sumo wrestler's ample, thong-clad behind, before reaching upward and giving him an atomic wedgie for the ages.

Not exactly the most dignified or electrifying of action sequences for anyone involved, even if you can probably argue having one of the major sex symbols of the 1970s grabbing another dude's butt was actually pretty forward-thinking for a mainstream movie franchise.
