SCAdian MOVIES! Asian and "Arabian"

Though the SCA is focused on Medieval European culture and society, Asian culture does leak in. Many SCAdians take on Asian personas and many elements of certain Asian cultures correspond to certain SCAdian interests (ie, sword combat, Japanese Bushido, etc.).

To help support this website, and facilitate visitors of this site, we have partnered with Amazon.com to allow you to purchase VHS videos and DVD's of many of these titles. Click on this image: to buy the title immediately. Click on the cover graphic to see the Amazon.com page of it. If the title is highlighted, a click will take you to the Amazon.com page where you can chose from several editions of the program.

HOW TO USE THE MARKINGS:

! = a definite must-see for anyone with SCA related interests.

+ = good to see if you've already seen or if you can't find the must-sees.

% = either a weak movie with a SCA-related theme, or a good movie of limited SCA-related interest.

- = only for the most desperate completist.
