D&D 5E Best on screen depictions of the Monk class

[Sacrosanct]

If someone were to ask you, "What shows or movies should I watch to see what a monk is in D&D?", which characters would you refer them to?

Rules:

• you get 3 votes
• because there are literally hundreds of wuxia movies one could list, I had to limit them. I tried to have one character from the most famous actors who played monk in their more famous roles. Otherwise it would get watered down way too much. Probably still is, to be honest.
• characters are from TV shows (including animation) or movies only. No literature or video games.
• Yes, Diana is a thief-acrobat technically, but in today's D&D categorization of classes, she's a total monk.

You forgot Brotherhood of the Wolf.

You forgot Brotherhood of the Wolf.

seemed more like a ranger to me, assuming you're talking about Mani.

And I can't vote for Kain (Kung fu). The history behind the whitewashing is unforgivable to me.

Would Once A Upon A Time In China Wong Fei Hung be an identical pick to Drunken Master Wong Fei Hung, or would those be two different picks?

[Paul Farquhar]

None of the above.

Rocky Balboa.

I was hoping for some better suggestions TBH. To sell this class I need something that isn't: oriental, obscure, or a crusader in a medieval retirement home (Cadfael).

 

[Tonguez]

Oh I totally vote for Rafiki!!!

but it was the Monkey Magic and Jackie Chan who first inspired my love for the genre/class

 

[Sacrosanct]

None of the above.

Rocky Balboa.

Not a monk (His WIS just doesn't make it). More of a barbarian with massive damage reduction
