Where and when did the martial arts film emerge? What are the cultural resources this hybrid genre draws from? What kinds of spectatorship has it fostered over the course of eighty years and across national borders? This course addresses these and other related questions through a historical survey of the genre’s origins and transformations in the broad landscape of transnational Chinese-language cinema. Screenings include works by key figures such as Zhang Che, King Hu, Bruce Lee, and Tsui Hark, as well as neglected experiments and films associated with their female stars.

Do I have to remind you that you could teach the class probably better than most professors?

thanks for the vote of confidence but really – I consider myself an advanced novice at best. I have seen many many folks who have watched much more martial art movies than I have and they seem to have great knowledge in the genre or should I say passion?

And most professors only know slightly more than their students- if that
