Martial Art Genres
From Zanecorpwiki
Hong Kong Opera
- morality play plots
- very stylized; characters, actions, and devices
- lots of acrobatics
- slapstic comedy
Directly influenced by and carrying on many of the traditions of live action variety shows and plays. I find it intriguing that the form persists more or less unchanged for so long.
Tai Chi Master - 1993
Kung Fu Fantasy
- completely over the top action
- super human powers
- full extent revealed by onion
- "power from poverty" a common trope
Action is stylized and much grows from the Hong Kong Opera style.
