So I just wanna share a quote from Master Ken in The Paper Tigers (2021)
This movie is fresh and comical, also the appearance of Matt Page is a surprise to me.
Do you have any favorite martial art movies off the radar that deserved to be more known?

It's literaly a movie about guys using jiu jitsu to fight zombies. I'll let you imagine how it goes.

Shaolin Soccer was one that always gave me a good laugh. Imagine comical martial movie meets soccer movie. It's absolutely dumb and I am here for it.

If we are talking about pure absurdity, Big Trouble in Little China, it’s as if everyone is reciting their lines without listening to the other people. Make no mistake though, I love this movie.

I've been a big fan of No Retreat, No Surrender (as well as the sequel, which is completely different) One of Van Damme's first movies, and a few years before Bloodsport came out.

I don't care what anyone says. The original 1990 movie is more tolerable to watch than 99% of movies that would fit into that category that also includes comedy.

The fact that these guys were doing stunts in all that costume is crazy! Ernie Reyes Jr is the man

There were a bunch of Stephen Chow movies which are all awesome.
Kung Fu Hustle as well, but I guess that is not exactly off the radar.
Another vote for "Foot fist way", just because "Jiu Jitsu sucks":

Haywife (2011) starring Gina Carano.
I second The Art of Self-Defense (2019); the writer/director is/was a BJJ purple belt.

There’s a lot of comedy recommendations here.
My personal favourite Martial Arts movie is Fist of Legend. It’s Jet Li’s best, I think.
I also love Ong Bak and Warrior King (both Tony Jaa films).
