Kung fu movies that fit the Chengyu 卧虎藏龙

[Jan Finster]

The expression 卧虎藏龙 means some talented individuals in hiding.

 

One movie that comes to mind is Kung Fu Hustle. It is just one 卧虎 after another.

 

Are there any other great 武术 movies that work with this concept?

There is one called…. 臥虎藏龍

This one really fits: https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/功夫_(电影) 

All the masters first appeared as nobodies.

There's a film from 10 years ago with Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat called The Founding of a Party, 建党伟业, which partly fits the bill....

It has a 3 out of 10 rating on imdb.com (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1699513/).

Does not sound too promising? ?

It was the longest Chinese movie I ever saw. Tried to watch it for about 2 hours, sitting in a half-empty cinema hall during the afternoon matinee. Finally gave up and left. Full of patriotic nonsense and people making speeches back and forth, thinly disguised as dialogue.
