Why watch this film?
No matter if you're eight or eighty, you surely know at least one martial arts and action cinema legend: Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris, Donnie Yen, Keanu Reeves, Jet Li... The list is endless, in a story that began in Hong Kong in the mid-20th century. With interviews with actresses such as Jessica Henwick ('The Defenders') and martial artists such as Scott Adkins ('Boyka: Undisputed'), 'Iron Fists and Kung Fu Kicks' is a fascinating documentary about an action cinema subgenre that was a true revolution in world cinema - and whose mark is still felt in films like 'Matrix', 'Kill Bill' and many others.
