Movies: Best "kung fu" Movies

Kung fu film (Chinese: 功夫片; pinyin: Gōngfu piàn; Jyutping: Gung1fu1pin3) is a subgenre of martial arts films and Hong Kong action cinema set in the contemporary period and featuring realistic martial arts. It lacks the fantasy elements seen in wuxia, a related martial arts genre that uses historical settings based on ancient China. Swordplay is also less common in kung-fu films than in wuxia and fighting is done through unarmed combat. Kung fu films are an important product of Hong Kong cinema and the Western world, where it was exported. Studios in Hong Kong produce both wuxia and kung fu films. ()
