Overview

In Kung Fu Jungle, Donnie Yen stars as Hahou Mo — a former martial arts instructor serving time for manslaughter. When a ruthless assassin begins systematically targeting kung fu masters across Hong Kong, Mo strikes a deal with the police: his freedom in exchange for his expertise. But as he tracks the killer, Mo must confront the ghosts of his past and rediscover the true spirit of martial arts.

The result is a blistering action thriller and a heartfelt homage to the golden age of kung fu cinema — blending bone-crunching realism, philosophical undertones, and reverence for martial tradition.
