Choreography as cinema, from the Shaw Brothers to wire work.
remade as *A Fistful of Dollars*, and better
the film that made martial arts global
the Shaw Brothers training film every training sequence descends from
Chan's stunt work at its most dangerous
Chan's choreography at its absolute peak
wuxia that crossed over
Zhang's color-coded retellings, and a genuine landmark
Tony Jaa, no wires, no doubles
color as emotion
cartoon physics, real craft
Donnie Yen, and the fight choreography of the century so far
Wong's most beautiful action
three hours of pure escalation
