Its global impact can be seen in the Hollywood crossover of stars such as Jackie Chan and Hong Kong-influenced films such as <i>The Matrix.</i> In this wide-ranging study, Leon Hunt looks at the mythic allure of the Shaolin Temple, the 'Clones' of Bruce Lee, gender-bending swordswomen, and the knockabout comedy of Sammo Hung, bringing new insights to a hugely popular yet critically neglected genre. In addition, he considers the impact of new technologies on a genre focused on physical performance, from the 'wire fu' of Jet Li to the digital 'stars' of console games like Tekken. Films discussed include both popular and cult classics like <i>Game of Death, Fist of Legend, The 36th Chamber of Shaolin</i>, and <i>Drunken Master.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>" "Kung Fu Cult Masters" is set to become an essential text...
