Which Iron Monkey? The original, with the actual monkey and actual hawk sparring in the opening credits? Or the modern one with black half-mask?

Good point. I love Woo Ping's newer version. The original's sequel is much worse.
Do the Power Rangers films count as Kung Fu movies? Those are pretty bad. Bad I think we've already mentioned a lot of movies that have martial arts, but shouldn't be considered a "kung-fu" movie.
If we're talking the truly worst true kung-fu movie, look no farther than 1987's Ninja vs Ninja. This is the Manos of kung fu movies.
Here's a sample!

The kung fu hero has his family held captive. In order to release them he has to survive ten challenges. They all take place in the same arena. There's things like one-on-one, sumo wrestler, guy with a sword and the final challenge is beating up ten opponents. One opponent he finishes off by standing on his throat. In the very end when he's leaving the palace he's shot.
Anyone?

Which one? The one with the girl or the one with the little kid with the corn rows?
corn rows. Was there really one with a girl? I had no idea.

But I'd have to pick a Jackie Chan one, there are so many that were unwatchable. Can Rush Hour 3 count? I guess not. I will say THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. That was absolute garbagee.
Oh no, no, no! Forbidden Kingdom is what you get when guys who rely on physical ability get too old to do their own stunts, and the old school rope-work effects is overshadowed by Hollywood-esque CGI work (that the script sucks is a given; all kick-flick scripts suck). I do agree that most of the later Jackie Chan's Hong Kong kick-flicks are pretty bad (though he's now doing these Middle Kingdom costume dramas, which are actually pretty good in their own way), the worst is, without question, Shanghai Knights. Shanghai Noon was crummy but entertaining. Shanghai Knights is *awful* at so many levels.
But there are so many bad american kung-fu movies, either starring Bruce Lee-disciples [like Norris and even James Caan] or with guys named "Bruce Li" (though there was a run of these out of Hong Kong too...), it becomes hard to narrow the list down to just one.
