Preferably of the non-shitty variety.
As was suggested by Judowned in the High Kick Girl thread, we need a thread for good MA movies that can be found on Netflix. The topic is relevant to my interests, so I thought I’d get this started.
Aside from High Kick Girl, Netflix also has Flash Point, Chocolate, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, and (tee hee, my guilty pleasure) Never Back Down on “Watch Instantly.”
If you know of any other good martial arts movies available there, please add to the list.
“FIGHTING BLACK KINGS” its a documentary on Kyokushin knock down karate,
Oh yeah, how’d I forget about that one? I haven’t watched the whole thing, so maybe it’s explained, but why is it called ‘Fighting Black Kings?’
“The Twilight Samurai” and “Billy Jack” are both currently available in SD and HD streams.
How has nobody yet mentioned The Octagon? Trust me, it’s on there. Let it wash over you and seep into every pore.
maybe its because all the guys in the doc. are all black belts, and or because they are all “African-Americans”
Jackie Chan’s “Thunderbolt” is also available, but only in SD at the moment.
Ooh! Ridley Scott’s “The Duellists” is also available (SD only).
So is “Tokyo Zombie” (SD only):
If you like Twilight Samurai, The Hidden Blade and Love and Honor are the other two movies in that “triliogy” by the same director. Neither of those are available to watch instantly, but worth putting the queue.

HOLY SHIT I AM SO GLAD I MADE THIS THREAD!!!
I’ve been wanting to watch Tokyo Zombie forever and I kept forgetting to put it in my queue. I’ll just watch it now, while it’s still fresh in my mind!
The Sensei
Drunken Master.

It looks like the martial art equivalent of “The Room”. (And I believe Twilight Samurai is instant watch as well, but who wants to see that?)
Now available on Netflix Instant…
This idea came up in another thread. For those of us with netflix, we have a Watch Instantly queue of movies available to stream on one’s computer or PS3, etc. It rotates and always has a selection of lame 80’s action movies and 70’s chopsocky flicks. However, sometimes a really good find pops up; a must see, or classic action Movie.
This thread is to alert people when one of these great MA/Action movies is available to watch. I will start…
Currently available:
Flashpoint (which is possibly the best MA movie I have ever seen)
YouTube- Flash Point U.S. Trailer
High Kick Girl
YouTube- HIGH KICK GIRL! TRAILER / ENGLISH SUBTITLE VER
Samurai Rebellion (Classic Mifune)
Yojimbo
Rashomon
Twilight Samurai (Drama, but big Samurai Duel at the end)
Please continue to add others.
FYI, strikeistanian already started a Netflix thread in YMAS.
A lot of Kurosawa movies like Seven Samurai can be watched online on Netflix.
Worth seeing?
We need a movie review for these guys!
I’ll second Fighting Black Kings. Also, they had Bloodsport 4: The Dark Kumite! You know you want to see it.
Tokyo Zombie is definitely worth seeing.
Aw dude, Jiu Jitsu and zombies.
I thouht no one else saw that.
