From Hong Kong to Hollywood, the Shaw Brothers to The Matrix, martial arts in cinema has been busting box offices and breaking barriers since the 1960s. This is the wild untold story of how the way of the dragon became a global phenomenon.
"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."
