James Cagney, in this famous scene, bursts out when he comes to know that his mother has died. Also note that this was an improvised take by Cagney of which the director and the extras in the scene were not aware. Hence their reaction is genuine.

Man alive, he floors those guards like it aint no thing!

Muahaha!! Love him! And you say most of this was improv?

@prityricky1 Knockouts are caused by the brain moving inside the skull and getting a shock. Very tricky to do deliberately, but it isn't dependant upon the size and weight of the hitter, just how much of a sudden jolt they can give your head.
In reality though, by the second hit his hand would probably be to badly injured to continue.

@M14autoassault I wasn't aware that he was a good street fighter nor an accomplished boxer. However, there still is a lot of "Hollywood" in this scene. He is knocking out people twice his size with one punch consecutively. I don't care what spot Manny Pacuiao punches a a heavyweight fighter in the face. He isnt knocking out a heavyweight with one punch. Lol. Your point is well taking though. He obviously could fight.

@prityricky1 Cagney was always known for 1 punch knockouts. He was a tough guy remember and knew how to use his hands well. If a punch is thrown with enough force, aimed correctly, and hits the right spot then a knockout is quite possible. Cagney was a master at throwing that kind of punch. He also was a good street fighter in real life and became an amateur boxer who at one point was a runner-up for the New York State lightweight title.

@FatsDomino64 It's not a right hook but a straight right. Note that one guard hit him with a club but he still kept going. They did "wise up" to this punch, did they not, with the goon squad?

My old man couldn't stand Cagney! LOL

Spoiler alert?

By the fourth time you'd think those security guys would wise up to the fact that he's going to give them a right hook to the face.
