I got into a FB discussion of great martial arts films with my friends Tyrone & Brian earlier, noted that their top 10's had some stuff I hadn't seen and decided to check Netflix (which has added a ton of pacific rim content over the last few years).
My old Best ______ On Netflix Streaming posts are consistently my most read, so here's an early Throwback Thursday post: the best Kung Fu movies on Netflix Streaming. A couple of these I haven't seen, but you can trust my pals- their genre knowledge is wide and deep. In lieu of my traditional capsule review I'm posting trailers, which have become far more prevalent since the last time I worked up one of these posts. If it made the cut, I liked it or someone I trust liked it.
Apologies for the heavy 90's flavor of this list, but that's what Netflix has.
Chocolate
Fist of Legend
13 Assassins
(okay not kung fu, but.....too epic to skip)
Ip Man
Flash Point
Wing Chun
Iron Monkey
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
House of Flying Daggers
Shaolin Soccer
The Kid with the Golden Arm
Shaolin Martial Arts
Heroic Trio
(not entirely kung fu, but BONKERS and GENIUS)
Supercop
The Big Boss
(not great Bruce Lee, but Bruce Lee regardless)
Not exhaustive, but should get you started and there are a lot of GREAT movies there.

That was a terrible tease to lead with the Seven Blows poster...
the 70's are horribly underrepresented on Netflix.
