The real thing — kung fu comedy where the fights are jaw-dropping
The difference: Live-action and grounded — no talking animals, no fable

Joke-a-second comedy about a hero who must admit he needs people
The difference: Frantic meta parody, no serenity and no real martial grace

Gorgeous animated swordplay played with a straight face and a grin
The difference: A swaggering rogue, not a doubter learning to accept himself

An animated mismatched-duo romp with slick action beats
The difference: Spy-gadget plotting — no chosen-one myth to root the jokes

Family animation that sneaks sincerity in under rapid-fire jokes
The difference: Meta-gag overload — the heart is buried a layer deeper

Stephen Chow's cartoon-logic kung fu, absurd and full of heart
The difference: Soccer replaces the sensei-student arc — pure gag engine

The same mix in both: momentum, then wit
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Gentle nobodies dreaming themselves into action heroes
The difference: Small-town Swedish deadpan — cozy, but barely any action

Broad comedy and cartoon fighting kept at a constant sprint
The difference: Gag-chasing and thin, with no philosophy behind the noise

A nobody's lie turns him into a hero he has not earned yet
The difference: Wisecracking celebrity riffing in place of genuine heart

Martial-arts buddy comedy coasting on chemistry and set pieces
The difference: A tired third lap — the formula shows its seams

Both land play and warmth at once
The difference: Sits closer to adventure than Kung Fu Panda does
