The Art Of Self-Defense (2019 Film)
What is it?
The 2019 American dark comedy crime drama mystery martial arts thriller The Art Of Self-Defense film.
Dream 1
This dream was about a fictional martial arts movie that somewhat reminded me of a movie that was in the styles of the movie The Raid 2 combined with a serious version of the movie Kung Fu Hustle.
In the dream this martial arts movie was about a male crime boss who employed various fighters / martial artists / gang members / whoever, and there was a man who was his best employee / fighter.
At some point the boss had somehow gotten superpowers, he got angry about something, and then he powered-up.
The boss started to have some kind of energy / electricity-like stuff around his body after powering-up, and he was able to project this out to hit things.
The boss started showing off his power in anger as he ranted, he probably killed some of his own employees, and he started demanding to see his best employee because it seemed that he wanted to fight him to see if he could defeat him now that he had superpowers.
But his best employee was either already gone somewhere or he left when he saw and heard what was going on, but I woke up.
Dream 2
Unfortunately I did not record this dream in time so most of it is forgotten and I can not remember the most important and interesting details so what I remember is unclear and is possibly partly incorrect, and so all that I can remember of this dream is that a group of young women (at least two or three with light-color skin with one or more of them with yellow hair and at least one with medium-to-dark color skin).
I assumed that the young women were friends and they were trying to help another young woman, either a member of their group or someone else, and all that I can remember now is that at the end of the dream one of the assumed friends with long yellow hair possibly lost consciousness or something as they approached the door to a maybe one-story building.
The assumed friends opened the door which led to a windowless room full of beds of what looked like the assumed friend who had possibly lost consciousness or whatever happened to her, and so it seemed that maybe she had been a clone or something and there were many more clones of whatever of her who were all unconscious on beds.
Another clone or whatever woke up after she lost consciousness or whatever, there were possibly some nurse / scientist-like people in the room, and they went to attend to her.
The assumed friends seemed to know all along possibly, and maybe the person who they were really trying to help all this time was the young woman with the yellow hair but she did not know it.
This was a surprising and creepy twist, I wanted to know more, but I woke up.

Batman Ninja
What is it?
The 2018 animated (anime) science fiction historical period martial arts superhero movie Batman Ninja.
What is it about?
This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this animated movie:
In this groundbreaking anime adaptation of the legendary Batman franchise, Gotham City is swapped out for feudal Japan, where Batman fights his infamous foes as an armored ninja.
With Catwoman, Two-Face and the Joker all showing up to battle the Bat, will Bruce Wayne be able to save the day?
What do I like about it and what would other people like about it?
I like that they did something different and I like one brief part when the animation changed and things got more serious, and I think that other people will like that as well.
Final Thoughts
This is the worst animated movie that me and my brother GC have seen this year so far, and it is possibly the worst movie that we have seen this year so far and it is possibly the worst Batman movie that I have ever seen; and I am shocked by how highly some critics have rated this animated movie.
This was an insult to anime in my opinion, and it is stuff like this that makes some people hate anime because they assume that most animes are like this.
It was an incoherent pile of nonsensical and pointless stuff happening in an animation style that I did not like (except for the scenery), on a Double Toasted rating scale I would give this animated movie a rating of F##K You, do not waste your time watching this garbage of an animated movie like I did.

Shaolin Soccer (少林足球)
What is it?
The 2001 Hong Kong martial arts sports comedy movie Shaolin Soccer.
What is it about?
This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this movie:
One of Hong Kong’s top screen comics, Stephen Chow, co-wrote, co-directed, and headlines this three-way blend of sports, action, and humor.
Sing (Stephen Chow) is a modern-day Shaolin monk who has become a master of traditional fighting skills, and is renowned for his “leg of steel.”.
However, these days there isn’t much call for a Shaolin warrior, and Sing and his fellow monks earn their keep working menial jobs until a soccer coach gets the bright idea of translating Sing’s talent for kicking to the soccer field.
Sing becomes the lynchpin of a team playing in a tournament that could net them a $1 million purse, but even with Sing’s footwork, beating the steroid-fueled champions will be no easy task.
Shaolin Soccer also features Man Tat Ng and Vicki Zhao.
