Here are some of them!

Best Kung Fu Movies Ever Made

Enter The Dragon
This Bruce Lee starrer movie even after almost 3 decades of being produced does not fail to amaze you. I am sure this would also be amongst the top Hollywood movies and also is one of the best action movies of all time!

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
With best foreign language film Oscar, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is a fabulous tribute to the martial arts and is one of the greatest action movies. Great special effects and great martial arts supported by biggies like Michelle Yeoh andChow Yun Fat has made this film a must watch.

Drunken Master
We all love Jackie Chan, don't we? Well, with drunken master, this master of comedy and martial arts paved way for a completely new style of Kung Fu.

The 36th Chamber of Shaolin
Shaolin Temple comes into the picture with this top action movie. The Shaolin temple is supposed to be the Mecca for the Kung Fu practitioners. A Kung Fu student learns Kung Fu in the temple and evades his enemies in his native village to teach a lesson to an evil warlord is the story of this film.

Kung Fu Hustle
Starring Stephen Chow, this is another Kung Fu movie of the decade. The movie revolves around gang wars. It was released in 2004 and is a comedy and action genre and supposedly the best movies of the decade as far as Kung Fu is concerned.

Raging Phoenix
This is another martial arts movie, although Thai and has a female lead who has done the martial arts stunts. It was released in 2009.

Shaolin Temple
The place where Kung Fu was born again comes into picture with this film. Jet Li starrer Shaolin Temple undoubtedly stands out as one of the best Kung Fu movies.

Fist Of Fury
Bruce Lee's Fist of fury created quite a flurry in Hollywood. Bruce Lee avenges the shady death of his master in Shaghai in this film. Could the list be complete without at least a couple of Bruce Lee films?! This is undoubtedly one classic Kung Fu movie.

The Prodigal Son
Prodigal Son is another Kung Fu movies which is peppered with great Kung Fu sequences starred Yuen Biao and Lam Ching-Ying.

Shaolin Master Killer
Directed by Liu Chia Liang, this is a story of young man who takes training to become a Shaolin monk. He eventually reaches the 36th chamber of the temple, the ultimate aim of anyone learning Kung Fu.

Five Deadly Venoms
Five Deadly Sins is a Hong Kong based martial arts film which was directed by Chang Cheh., and deserves to be on this list!

Bullet Proof Monk
Sean William Scott and the nonchalance of Chow Yun Fat while he goes about his Kung Fu actions is worth watching in Bullet proof monk. Watch this movie for Chow Yun Fat and the awesome Kung Fu scenes.

Hero
One more classic from Zhang Yimou after Crouching Tiger, Hero is a very depicted story about a warrior played by Jet Li whose sacrifice led to the foundations of China as we know it now.

Iron Monkey
Iron Monkey is directed and acted by Chen Kuan tai, which has a plot of the main protagonist being a monkey Kung Fu expert.

Wow! I wish I could go on and on about these fabulous movies revolving around martial arts in Hollywood and otherwise! Now I am sure if you might have missed any movies amongst these, you are going to watch them as soon as possible! The list, is actually quite long, though I can't help it because ultimately all good things come to an end! Have a great time watching the oriental martial sagas!
