Celebrity 
Everybody's Kung Fu Fighting!
All Martial Arts welcome in this list not just kung fu so there will be karate, swordplay, etc. For kung fu movies made before 1990, I grade on a curve as most were low budget, niche films cranked out quickly. Zhang Yi Mou or Kurosawa films are held to a higher standard. I included a few dramas which are listed at the bottom. I go back and forth about keeping them on the list.
