Iron Fists and Kung Fu Kicks (2019) on Netflix

Plot summary

Chinese kung fu reaches audiences around the world through the many martial arts films made in Hong Kong from the 1960s onward. These productions number in the hundreds and span several decades. They transform Western action cinema and help give rise to blaxploitation, hip-hop music, parkour, and Wakaliwood filmmaking. The documentary traces that influence from Hong Kong to Hollywood, showing how kung fu became a global phenomenon and how the films found strong commercial success and broke barriers while crossing cultural boundaries. From the 1960s to The Matrix, these movies changed how action is filmed and watched around the world.
