kung fu movies

Asian action films

Kung fu movies are action films featuring Chinese martial arts, characterized by elaborate hand-to-hand combat sequences, acrobatic fight choreography, and often themes of honor, revenge, or spiritual discipline.

The genre emerged from Hong Kong cinema in the 1970s and gained international popularity through stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
