Kung Fu Comedy is considered a sub-genre of the martial art film industry. It combines theatrical martial art acrobatics and slapstcik humor, however the use of mrtial arts is limited because it focuses more on the setting and the ploy of the movie. One notable actor in this field is Jackie Chan who was trained in the Peking Opera and worked as a stuntman early in his career. He developed a crew of stuntmen in his films to act as a support crew in his slapstick-acrobatics.

This type of sub-genre lengtened the life of Kung Fu films in hollywood who at the time were already using computer technology in filmmaking.
