Movies that feel likeKung Fu Yoga (2017)

Two professors team up to locate a lost treasure and embark on an adventure that takes them from a Tibetan ice cave to Dubai, and to a mountain temple in India.

If you loved Kung Fu Yoga, the closest films we have are Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame (2010), Hail, Caesar! (2016) and The Great Muppet Caper (1981). All three share Kung Fu Yoga's twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (2002).
