Celebrating the best (and worst) that martial arts movies had to offer in 2018, join us for our festive round-up of the year with the action movie expert and author of Life of Action, Mike Fury. As well as counting down our top five favourite martial arts movies of the year, we discuss the stories that grabbed the headlines in 2018, read out some listener’s comments compiled from across our social media channels, and look ahead to the titles we are most excited about in 2019.

We also play clips from some of the awesome guests we have had on the show this year – including Scott Adkins, Cung Le, Amy Johnston, Bob Wall, Diana Lee Inosanto and Jesse V. Johnson – and we play a few outtakes from our blooper reel. And, because it’s the holidays, Mike and I exchange a few martial arts-related presents. Thank you Fu followers around the world for all your support in 2018 – we wish you a very merry kung fu Christmas and a happy new year!

Happy holidays from the Kung Fu Movie Guide!
