Can you give some examples? 武侠电影是中国商业电影的重要影片类型，它犹如美国的西部片，集武侠英雄与武功打斗于一体，已成为民族类型电影的标志之一。 Martial Arts Film Wuxia films are a film genre (流派) originating in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The term “wuxia”， from Mandarin (普通话) Chinese, means “martial arts heroes”. Because of its distinguishing characteristics (historical setting, swordplay, a stronger emphasis towards melodrama (情节剧) and heroic bloodshed ), this genre is considered different from other martial arts film styles. The modern form of the genre has existed in the Pacific Rim region since the mid-1960s, although the earliest films date back to the 1920s. King Hu, working from Taiwan, and the Shaw Studio, working from Hong Kong, were pioneers of the modern form of this genre, featuring (以……为特色) sophisticated action choreography with plentiful wireassisted acrobatics, trampolines and undercranking.It was introduced to mainstream Hollywood in 2000 by Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Following Ang Lee’s footsteps, Zhang Yimou made Hero targeted for the international market in 2003, and House of Flying Daggers in 2004. There is a strong link between wuxia films and wuxia novels, such as those of Jin Yong. Many of the films are based on novels; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is an example of this. 　　Wuxia film style has also been appropriated by the West. In 1986, John Carpenter’s film Big Trouble in Little China was inspired by the visuals of the genre. The Matrix Trilogy has many elements of wuxia, although the heroes and the villains (坏人) of The Matrix gain their supernatural powers from a different source. Similarly, when the Star Wars movie came out in the late 1970s, many Chinese audiences viewed it as a western wuxia movie set in a futuristic (未来派的) and foreign world. 1．D
