1''Kung Fu Chaos'' (or ''Kung Fu Panic'' in Japan) is a 3D third-person platform game developed by Just Add Monsters (the studio now known as Creator/NinjaTheory) and published by [[Creator/MicrosoftStudios Microsoft Game Studios]].

3The game's premise is controlling a cast of characters as they make a series of kung-fu films under the direction of Shao Ting, independent director. As this is not a operation with a particularly big budget, there are some [[{{Understatement}} minor drawbacks]]. The sets for the movie are death traps and actually falling apart during filming. Shao demands that the actors don't use sissy acting methods like pulling punches; for his films, the cast has to murder each other while following the script. The cast themselves are a mix of kung-fu parodies who are more than capable of fighting each other. These "actors" range from [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest a monkey deity]] to a [[MaskedLuchador obese luchador crime fighter]]. Whoever survives will be a Hollywood star and achieve fame and fortune.
