Martial arts and comedy are a great pairing.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Martial arts comedies may be the bread and butter of Jackie Chan, but he's not the only actor who can pull off an excellent entry into the genre. There's a long list of martial arts comedies from all corners of the world, including many without his involvement. Martial arts films are first and foremost predicated on their action, with well-orchestrated fight choreography being the crux of their entertainment factor.
10 Shaolin Soccer Stephen Chow would break out on the international stage with his 2001 kung fu comedy Shaolin Soccer. Chow both directs and plays Shaolin kung fu master Sing, who must use his skills to lead Team Shaolin to victory in a soccer showdown with Team Evil. Shaolin Soccer takes its martial arts and soccer sequences to Dragon Ball Z levels of craziness, and blends its comedy with Sing's heartfelt romance with tai chi expert Mui .
8 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The heroes in a half-shell would finally jump into live-action on the big-screen in the 1990 hit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with Raphael, Donantello, Michelangelo, and Leonardo determined to stop the evil Shredder and the Foot Clan. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is still one of the best cinematic incarnations the Turtles have ever had, with plenty of action and the Turtles' lovable personalities still making the movie a joy to watch over three decades later.
5 Kung Fu Hustle Stephen Chow would follow up 2001's Shaolin Soccer with an even wackier martial arts cartoon in 2004's Kung Fu Hustle. Set in the '40s, Chow directs and plays Kung Fu Hustle's protagonist Sing, whose efforts to join the Axe gang take him on a wild adventure.
