Old documentary about kung fu, displaying the various types of wushu forms. Doesn't have a plot, is only 480p, and I think it was meant to be some kind of national propaganda film. But it is fascinating to see the different styles by expert practitioners in natural settings. A young Jet Li shows up at 19:10.

> After his students are killed by the One Armed Boxer, a vengeful and blind Kung Fu expert travels to a village where a martial arts contest is being held and vows to behead every one armed man he comes across.

IMDb

This is a pretty horrible movie in terms of acting, plot, realism, special effects, etc. The one redeeming value is the following. Apparently it was made with the support of the local chapter of the Japan Karate Association, a "traditional" shotokan karate organization known for the rigor and quality-control of its training. So every once in a while you'll see people doing karate moves that clearly demonstrate they've spent years of practice on them.
