FIGHT!!

Dramas/movies with a fighting-oriented story. Not war based. Bonus points if they do a breakdown of the fighting styles. If you know the name of a fight choreographer that is not listed, please comment with your source. Acronyms cuz im lazy:  GNH/HGN (Gun, knife, and hand-to-hand (must include all three))

Also, fun fact: Yeun Woo-Ping  did the choreography for IP Man 4 and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon also did the choreography for The Matrix.

    idk about practical, but the fight choreography is elegant. The director/choreographer is clearly a wuxia fan in the likes of cinema rather than dramas. (which is great cuz most dramas dont do it as well. with the exception of Story of Ming Lan surprisingly????)

    This does the fun thing where they go name sword techniques and stuff.

    imma be real with you, i skipped and 2x a lot of the dialogue towards the end. BUT i never 2x the action. It's fun to watch ^_^

    Muai Thai. I don't personally recommend this. As a documentary, I felt it focused too much on drama with wayyyyyy too much slowmo. Could have saved a lot of time by prioritizing the interviews and just occasionally getting into the drama. if you do watch it, I recommend watching it on 2x speed.

    It has creative fight choreography, but sometimes the execution falls short. Like someone throwing a knife incorrectly, or someone stabbing someone with the wrong hand (sword is literally in the air, and supposed stabbing done with the empty hand..... awkward).
