Over the years, great kung fu movies have presented amazing martial arts action, but several are also funnier than you might expect. These films often take martial arts fighting seriously, at least as far as the hero is concerned. However, they also work well in showing how many martial arts stars, especially men like Jackie Chan, owe a lot of their careers to silent film comedians like Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. This includes as much gymnastics to fluster enemies as kicks and punches.
