The wait is over! Find out our favourite – and least favourite – martial arts movies of 2021 in Part Two of our End of Year Show, featuring Life of Action author, Mike Fury.
Join in the festivities as we take it in turns to reveal our top five fight films of the year over a few ‘snowballs’ – a cocktail of advocaat and lemonade. We also take the time to highlight some of the titles which narrowly missed out on a top five position, and look ahead to some of the big movies heading our way in 2022.
Over the last few weeks, you have been sending us feedback on your favourite fight films of the year, and we read out some of those comments. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed. Please check out our full list of 2021 titles below – and if we missed out one of your favourites, or if you would maybe like to share your own list, then let us know in the comments below or via email. The email address is hello@kungfumovieguide.com.
