Daniel Primed Posted August 11, 2006 at 07:40 AM Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 at 07:40 AM G'day folks, I have decided that for a critical year 12 assignment(of 3 components, english written, chinese written and oral) to do Chinese martial arts films as my topic. I have always loved martial arts films, especially Chinese ones. Although I know a bit about it already I wouldn't mind a bit more info. Essentially, who the big actors/actresses areJackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun Phat etc. Most popular movies and why. How they have effected the chinese culture. Commonly used techniques(eg. heros always fight villians in ancient temple etc.) and just some other information that you might deem as useful. Thanking in advance. BTW I hope to help out a bit here too sometimes. Sorry for the constant taking and not giving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 11, 2006 at 07:42 AM Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 at 07:42 AM Why not check out the links on this page, and then tell us what more you need to know. Pretty weak attempt at 'research'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in_lab Posted August 11, 2006 at 09:24 AM Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 at 09:24 AM I was going to suggest a bunch of books that I've read, but I think I know what you're looking for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_action_cinema http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_arts_film In exchange for that, how about telling why the first place you went to research your topic was chinese-forums.com.

imron Posted August 11, 2006 at 12:11 PM Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 at 12:11 PM One thing you might like to comment on is the difference perceptions of a given film by Western and Chinese audiences. The prime example that comes to my mind is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which Western audiences loved, but I'm yet to meet a Chinese person (from mainland China) who likes it.
