Make sure you are out of Big Ben's way when he breathes fire (e.g. if he is near the top of the screen, make sure you are at the bottom so he will miss.) Then, get behind and grab him. If you throw him now, he will collapse on you, so quickly release him. Then, grab him immediately and he should be facing you. All you have to do now is continually hit him until he is defeated. Note: Big Ben makes an appearance in Streets Of Rage 2 on Stage 4 near the baseball diamond. He is a bit shorter and wears a cap.
