Now some of you are going to go through this list and be like “wtf, that’s not a martial arts movie!”. The truth is, in the past this section was more dedicated to films I wanted to review but didn’t know where to place them. The more obvious examples will eventually be moved and placed into another list, but I generally count anything where there is any kind of martial arts. It can be a medieval movie, where Knights fight each other with swords or it can be a full on karate film. It’s all up to me and what I feel like doing.
But in general, what can you expect? Kung Fu (Jackie Chan, Jet Li), Karate (Sonny Chiba), Samurai (Toshiro Mifune, Shintaro Katsu), western fist-cuff actioners (Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal) and even some superhero spectacles if the fight scenes involve choreography in some way, shape or form. As I said, it depends what I feel like doing.
