Every now and again these things pop up in a thread or two, so I am hoping to get a collection of documentaries going that we can watch and comment on.

I'm not going to comment too much more on this one, as it was covered at length in this thread: http://www.karateforums.com/fight-science-vt28318.html , my opinion is this: It was entertaining, but it wasn't particularly accurate, multiple people were needed for accurate generalizations, and the TKD guy needed to buy a shirt with the money he got for doing this show.

Ringing the bell was interesting. However, I don't think that anyone can cause internal damage to me by yelling at me.

The guy chopping at the pipe was impressive. I think that is more of a result of conditioning the hand as opposed to chi-transfer.

Right, while entertaining, I thought that the documentary was sensationalized at best, and 'David Blaine' at worst. And for all of the deadly moves the host shows people, the only time he spars he doesn't do too well. Also if you could KO someone with a shout, then why don't opera audiences black out? Anyhow....

here's another one by national geographic: Myths & Logic of Shaolin Kung-Fu
