'Iron Fists And Kung Fu Kicks (2019)' is a fast-paced, mostly chronological look at the history and influence of the coveted 'Kung Fu' genre. It's clearly a project of passion, with plenty of insightful interviews with industry giants and clips from pretty much every picture referenced. It isn't too deep but it does provide a great overview of its subject matter, recounting its Hong Kong origins and exploring its evolution right into the modern day. If you're a fan of this sort of stuff, the piece is a delight. It's sometimes a little too frenetic for its own good, but it's an entertaining and informative experience, sure to provide at least a snippet of new information (unless you're Quentin Tarantino, perhaps). A lot of the things it talks about are available to view on Amazon Prime and, if you're anything like me, you'll want to watch them right away. 7/10
