I was watching "The River Wild" and saw the scene where David Straithairn's character is fighting underwater with Kevin Bacon's. In the scene, David essentially knocks Kevin out and pulls him out of the water. While they're not underwater for a long time, the entire swing was thrown underwater. I know I've seen similar scenes in other movies, but can't recall them off the top of my head.
Is it possible to accually generate enough force through water to knock someone out?
