![]() The Raid: Redemption is the most visceral and brutal movie on our list. We are happy to report that not only is Indonesian film a thing, but that this one is absolutely stellar. In fact, many Western moviegoers don't think of Indonesian films as a thing at all. Many Western moviegoers don't think 'Indonesia' when they think of a martial arts film. The first movie on our list comes out of Indonesia. These are 15 Martial Arts Movies Worth Fighting For. We cover a wide swath in this list, and would love you all to fill in the gaps in the comments. Some of these movies are included for their incredible fight choreography, some for their comedy, some for their outlandishness, and some for their beauty. ![]() We have excluded samurai films, not because the samurai way of fighting isn't a martial art, but because samurai films warrant a list of their own. The reason we are writing this list is two-fold: (1) many people have never seen a martial arts movie and have no idea where to start, and (2) for the folks that have seen and love martial arts movies this list is intended to maybe highlight some that have been forgotten, while not straying too far from the classics. Just because the emphasis of a movie is a series of long fights doesn't mean there isn't room for a great plot, script, acting, set and costume design, or all of the above. ![]() Martial arts movies are not for everyone, but they are for more people than you might think.
