For fans of Yuen Woo-ping: what to watch, read & play next

Cross-media picks for Yuen Woo-ping fans — films, series, games and books in the same vein.

These picks share a devotion to martial arts as code of conduct, lineage, and survival — not spectacle alone. From Shaolin temples under Qing siege to post-apocalyptic streets, from 1930s Shanghai corruption to revolution-era betrayal, they trade in the same currency: disciplined bodies, hard choices, and the cost of loyalty. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 9 Monkeys of Shaolin, The Kung Fu Master — each holds that tension between tradition and a world determined to break it.

Frequently asked

What should I watch if I love Yuen Woo-ping's films?

Start with the TV series The Kung Fu Master and Legendary Fok, which share the same Shaolin mythology and dynasty-era tension. For something animated, Fist of the Blue Sky brings martial arts action to 1930s Shanghai.

Are there books for Yuen Woo-ping fans?

Gorin no Sho (The Book of Five Rings) is the philosophical bedrock — strategy and martial mastery from a sixteenth-century warrior. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (the novel) extends the wuxia world that shaped so many of these films.

Which games capture the feel of classic martial arts cinema?

9 Monkeys of Shaolin and Bujingai: The Forsaken City are the closest in spirit — the first is pure Shaolin vengeance, the second is explicitly inspired by Hong Kong cinema with gravity-defying combat.
