I'm planning to watch Hard Boiled anyways, so I'll jump in here and take a matchup. Unfortunately, I can't find any of the non-Netflix black films on my library's database, so I'll have to take something from Netflix. If it's alright by you, pix, White Badge looks interesting enough.

Something to keep in mind for future round two matchups:

There are enough of the seeded films (the ones in blue) on Netflix that they can be fair game for everyone.  Netflix has very few of the unseeded films, however, so if you have access to a lot of the "unavilable from Netflix" films, it'd be  great if you could choose your unseeded films from that list.

Aye aye, capt'n! While we're at it, if anyone needs help getting a hold of a film that I had last round, I can probably hook you up.

Would like to take:

Red Firecracker, Green Firecracker vs He's a Woman, She's a Man

Picked because I like their names, I have not seen them and I have not read the reviews for them in the first round, going in cold.

Actually, each matchup needs to have one film in blue (the top half of the seeds) and one film in black (the bottom half).  Both of the films above are in black, so they can't face each other, I'm afraid.

Ok will take:

Red Firecracker, Green Firecracker vs God of Cookery

I will pick the correct choice, it just might not be your correct choice  :)
