Why did Kung-Fu movies die out?
>>222775870For us its the hit CW series Kung Fu, starring the Canadian actress Amanda Fix
>>222775870Did China stop making them? They don't make MMA movies right?
UFC killed martial arts mystique in 1993.Hong Kong being returned to China destroyed their cinema scene and they have and likely will never recover.
>>222775870that's cheating, their nuts are too small to hit
>>222775870Does pic related count?
kids want xianxiawhy bother with martial arts when every other web novel has an immortal MC who can destroy entire planets
>>222775870>>222775905Hong Kong was absorbed into China proper and the industry died out. You got Chinese movie industry but it is even more soulless than HollywoodAlso you only had Jackie chan and Donnie Yen and maybe Jet Li as competent leads and they are old as fuck now
>>222775870They still make a lot of them but they don't care about advertising outside the domestic audience
>>222775870Hong Kong made most of the "hard" kungfu movies from the 70s-90s. However, most of the directors, actors and film crew fled HK after China took it back, killing off the HK movie industry. Mainland China prefers the capeshit-esque wuxia genre, with powerups and magical superpowers.
>>222775870Mysticism is gone from the world.Everyone now knows that all chink martial arts are an absolute joke.
>>222775870Because mma becoming mainstream proved that kung fu is a joke
>>222775870china and others are still making them in fact over the last years they released more and more of them its just they dont get much marketing in the west and some dont even get a release.Here watch this its basically a yearly action movie review that tells you everything you need to watch/you missed in the west. Just watch the video Its awesome and full of movies you dont know.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74ckedulSgo
>>222777187Underrated Channel.
China took over Hong Kong.
>>222775870The same cheap tricks over and over gets boring
>>222775918Only real answer
>>222775944No.
>>222775870because the perfect martial arts movie has been created
ufc showed everyone what real combat looks like and how kung fu is basically yoga with some kicking
>>222777684POOT
>>222777762And it's so boring no one wants UFC movies
>>222775918>>222777655The timeline ain't quite right. Hong Kong Cinema was still putting out good stuff after the handover. Cold War, Kung Fu Hustle were all released after 97. Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly this was during the time when the iron hand of Beijing was still lax.
The world stopped making good movies, as a joke
>>222775870Too much dignity and respect for niggerfied demographics
>>222777762Funny story is the Britain ruined kung fu twice.First they shit stomped China and started the hundred years of humiliation because China has a weak ass military that thought magical kung fu powers were real.Then they gave Hong Kong back to China which eventually took over and killed off all the soul Hong Kong (under British rule) had so no more kung fu films were made.
>>222775870Because the CCP took over Hong Kong and shut down all the film studios.
>>222779568>it's bongs' fault that chinks are retarded (twice)
>>222777684Is there an ancient Shaolin technique that removes all recoil from a handgun?
the ultra low budget HK kung fu flick starring literally nobody but his name is changed to sound like bruce li is my favorite genre of filmmy buddy and i used to stay up late to watch "kung fu theater" on some local UHF broadcast station and they'd air the craziest shit, i swear sometimes they'd just throw an extra off a tower and he'd die but they'd cut to a new actor on the ground
>>222777684>rooted in resentment
Jackie Chan got old and retired.
>>222780725Smash that subscribe button!
>>222777762>ufc>real combatchoose one
>>222775870The CCP and Hollywood killed it unironically.
>>222775918UFC in 93 was rigged fag shit and most martial artists and actual fighters knew it.
>>222777817UFC was a joke after everyone realized it was just rigged gracie bullshit and no-names doing stupid shit. It had the jerry springer and bumfights aura going for it Martial arts films were still liked and everyone watched it.
>>222780975It wasn't rigged but it was clearly biased in favor of the Gracies who organized the whole thing. Pride at its prime was way better.
>>222780848a guy who took up kickboxing and wrestling for a year could easily dominate some tai chi grandmaster who's been doing that shit for two decades
Test
>>222775870Americucks seething about the rise of China, so the government ordered it's media slaves to kill the popularity of eastern martial arts
