Rallarsving was a Swedish television series. It was broadcast on ZTV for 20 episodes between 2005 and 2006. The show followed Musse Hasselvall and Andreas Halldén around the world while trying different martial arts. These included Shooto, Kendo, Savate, Capoeira, Filipino martial arts, Thaiboxing and Boxing. Both Musse and Andreas had between them 30 years of experience in martial arts prior of filming the series, Musse in shooto and Andreas in Thai boxing. During the show the two meet heavy weights within the martial arts as Peter Aerts, Ilonka Elmont, Remy Bonjasky, Benny Urquidez, Randy Couture, Bas Rutten, Nong Toom, Ernesto Hoost, Joachim Hansen, Jeremy Decherchi, Mestre Cobra Mansa and Alvin Aguilar.
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.
