Best Gun-Fu Movies of All Time

by BonaFideBOSS • Created 8 years ago • Modified 4 years ago
Top Gunplay Movies of All Time


What is Gun-Fu?

  • Gun-fu is a term used to describe the choreographed moves used in action films. It is a style of sophisticated close-quarters gunplay seen in action and some Western films. It mostly resembles a martial arts battle played out with firearms instead of traditional weapons. Also known as Gunplay and Gunfight. 'John Wick', 'Equilibrium', and 'The Matrix' are some best examples to describe gun-fu movies.
  • Gun + Kung-fu = Gun-Fu


Note: This list also contains movies featuring gunslingers.
