Which countries/regions have produced MA movies so far?

[WangYu]

So the common ones are China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and the USA. The last couple of decades there have been movies from Indonesia and Thailand (don’t know about the 70s). I personally can’t remember a European MA film unless those Scott Adkins films are British (which they probably are). The French have done some action films with MA in it but a full on MA film I’m not sure about it. The Australians have at least one with “the man from hong kong”.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some African country had a very low budget fight film, maybe the same for Brazil, the Philippines, Cambodia, Mexico.

Enlighten me!

I might be wrong, but wasn't Brotherhood of The Wolf (2001) a French production?.

Poland
Bartkowiak - MMA fighter learns his brother's death wasn't an accident while running his family's nightclub. Now on Netflix

Bartkowiak is not the only Polish MMA movie. There are also:

Underdog (2019)

Fighter (2019)

Underdog was the first one and is directed by one of the KSW founders.

I guess these films must be a result of the popularity of MMA in Poland and of Polish fighters in the UFC, but I have yet to do a thorough research on the subject.

I'm disapponted that Bartkowiak was not directred by Andrzej Bartkowiak.

Not yet, I'm waiting for it to hit the cinemas, should arrive in a week or so.

A friend of mine watched it and said it's great. He said it mixes drama and fantasy and is about empowering those domestically abused, but it's also hilarious and in some parts brilliantly choreographed.
