3 Places To Find Rare Kung Fu Videos

For martial arts fans there's nothing quite like watching some classic kung fu videos. The genre that ushered in a great deal of action in the 1970s is alive and well, even though some of the major players have started to wind down and retire. Even though the major performers are getting over the creative process of stunts and action, they did put many grand details on film and they are available to watch at any given moment. Believe it or not, you don't need to spend a lot of money on purchasing movies, especially when a wide variety of options are available online. There are so many options available today, that you can simply go to the following options and watch full-length martial arts cinema at the push of a button.

The first place to check out is the Internet Archive. Believe it or not there is a massive archive of movies, lesson plans, audio, books, and so much more that is in the public domain. Because these things are in the public domain, they are available for streaming, downloading, and sharing at no cost to the end user. If you're a true fan of martial arts on film, then you owe it to yourself to look through the many clips, footage, and more that is freely given away on the web.

The second place to look in order to find rare footage and movies is YouTube. The site with one million and counting videos also lets certain public domain films continue to flourish at no cost to the consumer. Sure, there are some that have commercial interruptions, but they are few and far between, and are well worth investing some time into.

The last place that you should look is video stores. No, not just your average video store, but rather the ones that are closing down in droves, which might be many. Look around your area and the surrounding areas for going out of business signs, and liquidation sales. You'll find that these stores are practically giving away their inventory, which means that you can drop a small amount of money and watch all the great movies that people like Quentin Tarantino like to rip off on a regular basis.


If the above locales don't garner you much success, you could always look at yard sales or estate sales and see if another collector is in your area. Whether you're looking to learn kung fu, practice judo, or entertain your inner child, you'll find that rare action cinema is the right way to go, and cheap too.
