The bus fight from “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” has been praised as Marvel’s best fight sequence ever. The action scene, which is set on a moving bus, took over a year to bring to life. This included reconstructing two real buses to fit cameras inside while making room for actors Simu Liu and Florian Munteanu to fight.
Fight coordinator Andy Cheng, famous for his stunt work on Jackie Chan’s films, walked us through everything from the previsualized CGI and rehearsals used to create the action to how to fake a bus’ movements. Marvel Studios’ “Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings” is now available on all major digital platforms and on 4K ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.
Thanks to Andy Cheng for speaking with us and Yung Lee for providing extra footage. Check out more of their work here:

A lot of comments compared this with Jackie Chan's movies. The fact is: The action and fight scenes were designed by Brad Allan, Andy Cheng and Peng Zhang - all are alumni of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team.

The best part is mimicking the bus shaking to be in line with the twist and turns of a San Francisco street. But the part about Ta Lo (not shown here) is equally breathtaking. They built the entire village, up to fully functional toilets! 👏 This movie deserves an Oscar nom for VFX and production design.

Shang Chi in itself has soooo many references to past Chinese kung fu movies, it's really great. It's almost like a love/thank you letter for what those movies did in the past. The bamboo forest courtship of Shang Chi's dad and mom was very much a reference to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, when Li Mu Bai was trying to persuade "the thief" of his green destiny sword to allow him to train her.

I remember when they filmed this on my street in SF. watched them for hours as the bus would get back into position and do the take over and over and over. They modified the bus drastically, I remember a giant engine sitting in the back half of the bus. They also had a caged compartment for the “driver” in the middle of the bus that could drive it with a remote control, not the front seat.

If they cast Jackie Chan and Jet Li for Shang-Chi 2 it will be bananas. Wishful thinking but if they pull it off it’s going to be one crazy film that harkens the old Hong Kong 70s, 80s, early 90s martial arts films.

Not the best fight in the MCU. Coolest looking? Sure but the intensity died out in rewatch. It's heavily inspired by Jackie Chan's fights but didn't take in the most crucial one: Jackie gets hit, a lot. It gives more weight to it.
