"...be water, my friend" - Bruce Lee

Chinese martial arts are a fundamental element of 20th-century Chinese popular culture. Martial arts fiction is a popular film genre which emerged in the early 20th century and peaked in popularity during the 1960s to 1980s.

If one speaks of great Chinese martial arts movies, it is necessary to move back in time to see great examples. Nowadays, most of the Chinese martial arts movies are done with special effects.

Notice martial arts movies of the late 1960s to 1970s... that is truly Chinese martial arts; not that Donnie Yen’s Chinese martial arts movies isn’t good, but if he had to fact Bruce Lee in his heydays... I wonder.
