Farkhad Amankulov

Birthplace:
Kazakhstan, Soviet Union

Amankulov Farhad Amenovich was born in Kazakhstan. He started playing sports at the age of 14, although before that he was a rather sickly child. Two years later he became the winner of the All-Union Karate Tournament. During his subsequent sports career, he was awarded many titles and titles. He repeatedly became the champion of Kazakhstan in Wushu Sanda, a prize-winner of the Soviet Union and international tournaments, including tournaments in the Shaolin Monastery. He is an honored coach of Kazakhstan and an international master of sports. He is also the vice-president of the Kazakhstan Thai Boxing Federation.  Thanks to his sporting success, he was repeatedly invited to take part in films, both as an actor and to help stage fights. The first films with the participation of Farhad Amankulov were the historical films Baybars and Sultan Baybars, where he played the famous sultan in his youth on the way to his supreme power. Two years later he appeared in the television film Psychic. Here his role was less significant, but Farhad Amankulov took part in staging the fights that unfold on the screen. Another television project to his credit is the film Lotus Strike, where he played “his son-in-law” Farhad, a student of Lotus.  In 2005, he and the students of his school took part in the filming of the battle scenes of the famous Nomad.  In 2011, Farhad Amankulov’s roles in films were replenished with the image of a tough Kazakh businessman Batyr, on whose land lives a healer who solved the problem of his wife’s infertility. And one crime boss wants to buy this land, but Batyr cannot sell it, because he does not want to deprive the miracle savior of her home. Naturally, a conflict ensues between them, and Baksa’s film again contains scenes of fights both with the participation of Amankulov and fighters from his club.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
