The martial arts movie world is blazin’ right now. There are many filmmakers keeping the spirit of kung fu movies alive with their own unique flavors. Let’s take a look at some of the exciting new projects that look to continue to the martial arts action flavor. As a lover of martial arts movies, especially ones with an old school style or mystique about them I am really excited to share some exciting news about our beloved film genre.

 

Indonesian takes center stage: When many of us think Indonesian martial arts action we think of The Raid 1 and 2. Well look out for another promising looking Indonesian martial arts film : The Golden Cane Warrior.
