Judo movies. Lets list them here.
1) Throwdown
IIRC it's a Hong Kong movie.
Nice! I knew there was some random movie with James Cagney that featured some Judo
Sanshiro Sugata and its Sequel from the 1940's. Both by Akira Kurosawa and feature Judo vs Karate and boxing etc.
classic Japanese movies:
'Sanshiro Sugata' filmed during WWII (1943) it was the directorial debut of Akira Kurosawa, who also wrote the screenplay. a thinly-veiled telling of the story of Shiro Saigo, one of the Kodokan's stars during the school's early challenge match days
'Judo Saga' (1965) a remake of the above movie, this 1 again directed by Kurosawa, but now featuring Toshiro Mifune as the 'Jigoro Kano' figure
both are excellent movies, but be warned, they are much heavier in dialog than 'action'
- can't see shit meme *
those older movies sound pretty interesting. thanks for the heads up--
