Paper Summary:
This paper examines how the career of Bruce Lee (1940-73) is one of the most interesting cases of cultural influence in the history of film. It explains how he revitalized action films in Hong Kong and how, for the first time, Asian films were seen by large audiences in the United States. It looks at how Bruce Lee found success in the Hong Kong film scene, when he failed to gain appeal in America, yet in the end he became a hit in his own right.From the Paper:
"The Hong Kong film industry blossomed in the 1920s and, after the Peoples Republic of China nationalized the Shanghai film industry, the British Protectorate of Hong Kong became the principal source of Chinese-language films as the four Shaw brothers established "the largest studio complex ever built in Asia" and began turning out popular fare at an incredible rate (Dannen 31). In 1970 one of the Shaws' producers, Raymond Chow, formed the Golden Harvest production company and set about the task of carving out his own niche. Shaw was a martial arts fan and when he had the good fortune to sign Bruce Lee his company was made."More papers on Bruce Lee:
