I grew up watching Hong Kong martial arts stars like Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Michelle Yeoh, ect. And it’s a wonder they’re still breathing today because the stuff they did back then…It was raw. And if they took a hit, they took a hit. They deserve tons of credit for doing those amazing choreos on the spot and doing those dangerous stunts. I usually prefer Hong Kong martial arts cinema as well because the camera/editing doesn’t hinder the actor’s martial arts skills and movements (and the actor’s usually doing the choreo/stunts since he/she is skilled at it), therefore less camera shake and fast cuts.
