The title makes it sound like some cheesy action movie, but this is an excellent documentary of Japanese martial arts. The narration can be a little mellow dramatic as well (it was produced in 1981).

Mediocre docu of Japanese martial arts. Has some decent scenes and info, but reiterates many of the fantastical, and false, aspects of martial arts that have developed over the years. Also has a distinct air of "Japanese superiority" on the few occasions a style from another country is incorporated, albeit done in a VERY diplomatic manner.
