The Making of Martial Arts Films- : As told by filmakers and stars / Provisional Urban Council Hong Kong: Hong Kong Film Archive, 1999.
Call No: 736.35(512.317) HONSource: HKPlace: Hong KongPublisher: Hong Kong Film ArchivePubDate: 1999PhysDes: 96 p. : col. ill. ; 25 cmSubject: LEE, BRUCE ; CHAN, JACKIE ; Yeoh, Michelle ; LI, JET ; CHENG PEI PEI Summary: Contains two levels of significance. First, it is the reappearance of many veterans of our film industry to relate their memories; and second, it retrospects on the development of martial arts films through extracts of video interviews whereby veterans speak about the martial arts genre and the pictures. The veterans that the Hong Kong Film Archive has managed to interview span from Chin Tsi-ang, Hong Kong's first lady martial arts star (the grandmother of Sammo Hung), to Michelle Yeoh, who has now carried her fame and talent into Hollywood. Among them are prominent stars and directors who have long retired as well as those up-and-coming talents still working in the industry. In English and Chinese.

The authors show how this practice, deeply rooted in western epistemological traditions, evolved from the art of photography through magic lantern and stage shows into the motion picture industry, arguing that the sight of muscles in action induced a higher degree of viewer entertainment. From Eugen Sandow to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, muscular actors appear capable of performing the miraculous, and with the aid of stuntmen and filming contrivances, they do. By such means, muscles are used to perfect the art of illusion, inherent in movie-making from its earliest days. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780826222152
