Well, I don't know any well known Judo films, but in honour of the first Israeli who has succeeded in winning enough Judo matches to now compete for our first medal in this Olympics, I give you a film that at least is still in the martial arts category to Haiku:
The Karate Kid
Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants ....
The Rules
The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
The second line has seven syllables.
The third, and final, line has five syllables.
The Movie Haiku Contest (MHC) is open to every member of the FWFR site.
To enter, all you have to do is think of a Haiku for the current movie, then post into the current thread. Simple as that. Also, haikus may be risque, but nothing explicit please.
Only one entry per person as per The Blevins Rule. However, you are allowed to edit your existing entry until 9pm Tuesday FWFR time. *
Voting.
If you have entered the MHC, then you have to vote. If you do not vote, you'll lose 3 points from your total, even if you are Sludge and its your birthday. This could mean the difference between the adoration and envy of your fellow Fwiffers or being the feckless butt of our jokes!
You do not have to enter an MHC to vote. Vote away. It'll be like a lurker vote!
---------------------------------
For each round, you get to vote for your three favourite haikus. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfr a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You may vote only once
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending me your votes in a PM (Private Message) HERE, to Me.
Here is a recap of the entries:
BaftaBabe:
Handyman's lessons
Handy in combat or love
Mills is a Shue in.
rockfsh:
Natural bonsai
Grows high on a seaside cliff
Dan wants to claim it.
Chocolatelady:
Dan learns to wax on
then wax off, to keep himself
from getting whacked out!
Montgomery:
Is wax on, wax off
slave labor? Nope, you're learning
some karate, kid.
Sludge:
Today's Tom Sawyer
is a little old asian
dude named Miyagi
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 13 Aug FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Eh gads! I won? But I still have so much to learn.
Okay. Let me think and I'll post a movie as soon as I can.
Karate Kid was a good one, I thought, even though there weren't many haikus.
Where was Whipper?
