[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8813103, member: 85555"] Its all very intermeshed. Which I think is a good thing. You don't want media to be a one way conversation, a loop means the ideas cycle through different cultures and have some life put back into them. A lot of the kung fu and wuxia movies from Hong Kong that inspired someone like Tarantino when he did Kill Bill, were themselves also taking inspiration from sources like westerns and spaghetti westerns (some of them use the same music even: for example the movie the [I]Delightful Forest[/I] uses one of the main themes from [I]Once upon a Time in the West[/I]. The movie history of violence is basically the plot used in the film Wuxia (also called Dragon) with Donnie Yen ([I]A history of Violence[/I] came out in 2005, while Wuxia came out in 2011). But [I]Wuxia[/I] is also started out as a remake of the One Armed Swordsman. Personally I prefer Wuxia to A History of Violence but that's just preference. And in the 80s, I am pretty sure a bunch of American movies were pulling from Hong Kong Action movies for stunt ideas. Many scenes in Commando look a lot like Police Story 1 to me. I am not 100 percent sure if there is a connection not that one in particular, but there are definitely a lot of 80s and 90s action movies in the states that echo some of the stuff that was out earlier in HK, and by the same Token you have movies like Killer Constable from 1980 that seem to be taking a page from Dirty Harry. Or some of Lau Kan Leung's movies that seemed inspired by Golden Age of Hollywood (My Young Auntie in particular but you see it in his other movies even those are primarily kung fu action films). It is sometimes a bit hard to tell when there is an influence or not but it definitely looks to me like Directors are often drawing on inspiration outside their own culture. [/QUOTE]
