47 movies   1 tv show  

Here's my attempt to list all the films (and one TV show) mentioned or shown in the 1994 documentary Cinema of Vengeance about Hong Kong kung fu & action movies, shown in the #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon on 22 November 2025.

  • I've tried to include alternate English titles, too.

  • For a few, I've added legit free streaming links (that work at least for me in Mexico.)

  • JustWatch links: adjust for your country.
