There isn't a "Judo Throw" or "Judo Pin", to make the portrayal more representative. Though it isn't Austin Power fault. To those who don't practice any martial arts, all martial arts particularly oriental are the same. Which isn't too far from some people's ideas of oriental cultures in general, or really any area of ignorance.

They all claim to know what judo is, but once you say "hip throw," (forget seionage) they admit they're lost. I hate to admit it, but I often say "It's a sport. It's also a martial art, but it's a lot more like wrestling than karate. But it's not like wrestling. That's the best I can explain it to you. It's all live fighting real people who are fighting back, no katas and no imaginary death touches."

Apparently stretching someone's elbow to its limit and letting go without damaging them at all is more brutal than bludgeoning someone in the face with your fists, because boxing is acceptable, but submissions are gruesome?!?!?

P.S. if I am ever in a room, alone, with Joe Rogan's Cheerios, I will piss on them. Then, when he's being a douche, and someone asks him "Who pissed on your Cheerios?" the answer will be me.

Orient, adjective oriental, is a more official sounding term for "east/eastern". Originally used by western asians to descripe those guys east of 'em, with occident and occidental referring to "west/western".

It depends. If you are using a compass, you would orient in relation to magnetic north.

so is "orientalism" the act of orienting yourself or is it a complusive need to get your bearings. And what if you use google maps on your mobile, thus negating a compass?
