This one is not a movie however it is very worthy of mention. If your idea of entertainment is seeing people getting really hurt in an athletic competition and laughing it off have I got a show for you.
In Ninja Warrior 100 contestants have to go through 4 stages of increasingly difficult obstacles in order to win. Throughout the whole thing one thing becomes clear. The Japanese do not feel pain the way the rest of the world does. These people fall from insane heights, slam face first into objects and suffer the types of impacts that should cripple the average human yet they just laugh it off and show up for the next show.
The courses on Ninja Warrior get adjusted in every new show to make them increasi
ngly difficult, which I didn't think was possible after the first time I saw it but the Japanese have some very creative imaginations. Out of the 100 contestants who start the 1st stage less than 10 will make it to stage 2. These people come from all walks of life. Fishermen, garbage men, fire fighters, accountants, secretaries, professional athletes, military personnel, school teachers you name it. All have an equal chance to get pummelled on this course.
There are a wide assortment of ways to get your ass handed to you including but not limited to 16 foot tall warped walls, giant balls, running against conveyor belts, hand cranking yourself across a small lake, jumping off a trampoline while trying to catch a net in mid air, gripping onto a log and rolling down a track, and many, many more. All of this culminates with Stage 4, the climb of Mount Midoriyama. A steel tower in which you have to prop yourself up 30 feet by bracing your
hands and feet against the walls. Then you have to grab a rope and climb up the last 30 feet. Oh yeah, and you've got 30 seconds to do that. Good luck chappy.
Some contestants never make it past the first obstacle but keep showing up none the less. Others have made the show their lives. Watch this show long enough and you will start rooting for the pros like they were baseball stars. Names like Kazhiko Akiyama, Makoto Nagano, Toshihiro Takeda, Shingo Yamamoto, Bunpei Shiratori, Katsumi Yamada and Shunsuke Nagasaki will become household names to you very quickly.
Ninja Warrior airs on the G4 network pretty much every day but check your local listings. If you've never seen it before your in for an eye popping treat and if you have then you already know what I'm talking about.
Trust me, you'll thank me for this.
