RIZIN World Series in Korea takes place on May 31, 2025, at Paradise City in Incheon, South Korea, marking RIZIN Fighting Federation’s debut in the country. The main event features RIZIN Lightweight Champion Roberto Satoshi de Souza facing Gladiator Lightweight Champion Won Bin Ki in a 71.0kg MMA bout, with de Souza on a three-fight first-round finish streak and Ki showcasing his striking prowess. Other key matchups include Kim Soo Chul vs. Shoko Sato at bantamweight, Juri Ohara vs. Johnny Case at lightweight, and two kickboxing bouts: Sang Hae Jo vs. Hide Meison Usmai and Beom Jun Kang vs. Seiya Inoue. The event, themed as a Japan vs. Korea showdown, features 11 bouts and is broadcast live on ABEMA, U-NEXT, and RIZIN LIVE, with doors opening at 1:00 PM and fights starting at 2:00 PM KST. It’s a historic night for RIZIN, hosted in a luxurious casino resort venue.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
