Hong Kong Action Cinema

1. In recent memory, Hong Kong films have had the most influence on Hollywood films.

2. Even in the silent era, Hong Kong films displayed kung-fu.

3. The person that sparked Western interest in Honk Kong cinema was Bruce Lee, known for his expertise in kung-fu and cha-cha dancing.

4. The Shaw Brothers basically wrote the manual for the plots typically used in martial arts films.

5. Once there was a rise on fan base for martial arts cinema, many independent exploitation films came out to capitalize on the popularity kung-fu movies had in America.
