What happens when you take the producers of wildly entertaining pop culture documentaries MACHETE MAIDENS UNLEASHED and ELECTRIC BOOGALOO and turn their sights on the history of kung fu cinema? IRON FISTS AND KUNG FU KICKS is what happens and fans of martial arts will be ecstatic that it did. Documentarian Serge Ou takes the director’s chair here and it would appear that the subject matter has absolutely blown his mind.

A look at how and why these classics have had such a huge impact on the entire world of cinema today? You bet.  As entertaining itself as the films it examines, IRON FISTS AND KUNG FU KICKS is a blast of excitement and energy for all of your senses. It’s a film that not only embraces the nostalgia of these amazing works but also looks to a bright and exciting future.
