Kin Fu - Kin Fu

Japanese: キン・フー - きんふー
Kin Fu - Kin Fu

...Furthermore, as exemplified by the films starring Jackie Chan (1954-), from Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1977) to The Young Master (1980) to Project A (1983), kung fu films have maintained their popularity by incorporating related genres such as slapstick comedy and sports films, and in 1980, the Chinese-made co-production Shaolin Temple became a worldwide hit, proving that the real pleasure of film lies in the action. Even before that, in the mid-1960s, there was a director named Hu Jin-Chuan (also known as King Hu), who used brilliant camerawork and montage to elevate martial arts combat to a "dynamic stylized beauty," laying the foundation for the rise of a new style of martial arts film. His film A Touch of Zen (1969) was shown at the Cannes Film Festival in 1975 and won a special prize, earning him international acclaim. The first film production in Hong Kong is said to have taken place in either 1909 or 1913.
