Featured review
functional surface work
It's a documentary of the Hong Kong Kung Fu movies and their influences to today. It starts with the Shaw brothers in the 60's, then Golden Harvest with the explosion that is Bruce Lee, then the Bruce-ploitation period after his death, early success in America especially in the black community and its influence in breakdancing, new stars in Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, move to America after the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and YouTube & beyond. It's less than two hours and can really only be surface level examination. It's a functional recounting of events. It could do well to compare the early HK action movies with their cohorts in America and Japan. It doesn't arise in isolation or solely from Chinese opera. Mostly, I wish for more details in every section except the last one. This is good shorthand notes for all cinephiles and action lovers.
