Does Prime actually have that many included or is it that bullshit where they're on the service but you gotta pay extra for them?

Honestly whis is why I stopped paying for streaming services. Not enough of the good old stuff. I can see I should try out Amazon Prime.

Prime has a lot of foreign b-movies that are probably dubbed or VHS rips. But yeah this is stuff on prime, not that you have to rent/buy.

note: this is Canadian netflix. I don't know how many of these are available where you are

I recently watched The Flying Guillotine and The Flying Guillotine 2. both are fantastic. they're much more plot-heavy than typical kung fu movies, and the story is very atypical. it has intrigue and deception and all that good stuff. the second one doesn't feature the titular weapon as heavily, but there are still some glorious beheadings.

Five Elements Ninjas (yes, despite the title, it's still a Chinese Kung Fu movie) is also great. the fight against the Earth ninjas at the end is one of my all-time favourite fight scenes.

Return to the 36th Chamber is another one that stands out in my mind, since a sizable chunk (maybe most?) of the movie is a training montage. if you like the training montage in Rocky, you'll probably like it

I'll put those on my list. Thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah, streaming services are for sure better when they have curation.

Pro tip, if you haven't already done so, watch Shaft. It should still be on Netflix. :)

Netflix doesnt seem like they have barely anything worth watching. Prime is easily the best service, IMO. Ive heard good things about Hulu, but Im not paying for any more streaming services. Tubi is free and its great if you like action and horror movies.
