The rise of martial arts films in Hong Kong is attributed to a generation of famous kung fu master Huang Feihong, a hero who was born in the late Qing Dynasty and died in a scuffle between warlords. His brave chivalrous spirit was praised. 1949, Hong Kong director Hu Peng filmed the first film "Huang Feihong Blows the Wind and Extinguishes the Candle" starring Guangdong martial arts legend Huang Feihong. In the following 50 years, Huang Feihong became the first brand of martial arts films in China.

Kung fu movies

Kung Fu films also pay attention to the performance of China's martial arts skills. Kung fu movies give people artistic enjoyment with wonderful martial arts. In the silent film stage in the early 1920s, martial arts fighting films adapted from the chivalrous novels of ghosts and gods began to appear on China's screen, but most of them were bizarre and absurd, and they preached magical powers. From the late 1940s to the mid-1950s, after Hong Kong filmmakers filmed Huang Feihong with strong national characteristics in China, the concept of Kung Fu movies began to form in people's minds.

In the 1970s, Jingwumen, starring Bruce Lee, a Hong Kong movie star, made contributions to Kung Fu movies, with China Wushu as the main body and real martial arts as the means of expression. In 1980s, "Shaolin Temple", which was shot with outstanding martial arts athletes as the real scene of Wulin resort, pushed the kung fu film to a new height and was welcomed in the international film circle.
