Movies that feel likeKung Fu Jungle (2014)

A martial arts instructor working at a police academy gets imprisoned after killing a man by accident. But when a vicious killer starts targeting martial arts masters, the instructor offers to help the police in return for his freedom.

If you loved Kung Fu Jungle, the closest films we have are Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In (2024), The Plagues of Breslau (2018) and Ninja: Shadow of a Tear (2013). All three share Kung Fu Jungle's kinetic and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Operation Condor (1991).
