Martial Arts

Okay! I goofed and closed the question too early. Please forgive and keep the entries going here. We have had some great movies proposed as the "ultimate" and I would love to see more. I will reward the "best question" to the one who supports their entry with the greatest reasoning.
I would tell you my "pick" for greatest movie, but I don't want to prejudice the discussion. So far, I agree with all of you (well, maybe not Beverly Hills Ninja, though I would agree that it was hilarious). :-)

I have studied Brazilian Jujitsu, and have seen some holds that involve the legs, But what about Judo? I get the feeling the two are more similar then they are different.

He is such a good fighter. And he only fights in defense. He even tries to talk his way out of fights and walks away. But when the guy attacks him he gives them a strong kick to the nuts. Usually finishes the fight. Is this ethical?

I'm a huge fan of the genre and am more and more impressed by the quality of choreography (Crouching Tiger) and intensity (Unleashed) that martial arts movies have brought to the big screen. Whether it is the classics of yesterday, Chinese or Japanese, Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, what movie stands out as the best for you and why?
(Sci-Fi and action flicks with strong emphasis on martial arts are welcome as well [The Matrix Series, etc.].)

I know that this doesn't happen normally, but you never know. I'm being curious, and plus, my "boyfriend" actually knows karate. So, tell me, what should I do? (no cuss words please)

I have kept in fairly decent shape through the years, playing basketball, working with my hands, building fences, painting houses, flipping houses, etc, and I have plenty of experience with karate and street fighting, but I am not in great cardiovascular shape. I really need to start running again. It is just that I saw UFC62 the other night and I may not be in their league now, but I really feel that if I worked hard for six months, I could be in fighting shape. All my friends laughed at this idea, but I just wanted to get some peoples opinions who do not know me.

I have just started learning Karate and i have been told that you shouldnt expect to progress through each belt in less than 4 months a time but i want to know if thats correct. I'm in no rush and i realise belts actually mean quite little from what some people have said.

I work as a driving instructor and in that industry its not about length of months but the number of hours a pupil puts in so isnt it the same for Karate? I am training 1 hour a day at home and an hour a day 3 times a week down the Dojo so surely i will reach a higher grade more quickly because i'm putting the hours in. Surely this much practice will make me progress quicker through the belts and i shouldnt need to wait months in between?

I am just confused, i know there's much more to Karate than just belts but can someone clear this up?

It looks kind of like the Native American sash ( http://www.neokistomi.com/belt.jpg , http://www.mpcbc.bc.ca/merch/images/redblue_sash.jpg , http://www.berrybeadwork.com/Images/moresash2.jpg ), only its worn with the flat part in front, and the ropes go back and around to the front where its tied, leaving a two inch gap of only rope in the back to support the spine. its generally black.

I went to sports bar lastnight to watch UFC 62. Afterwards I felt like I had just watched a more boring version of Liddell / Sobral and Griffin / Bonnar's first fights.

Now they're going to be showing Hughes / Penn and probably Liddell / Ortiz.

...is anybody else tired of this ?
