Description

Explore the history of a misunderstood film genre with The Encyclopedia of Martial Arts Movies by Scarecrow Press. This comprehensive guide traces the evolution of martial arts cinema from its early beginnings in 1920 through 1994. Starting with the 1971 premiere of Five Fingers of Death in New York and the Chicago debut of Duel of the Iron Fist, this book examines the era when the market exploded following the release of Bruce Lee's films. It provides a clear look at a genre that has often been maligned, offering much-needed clarity for fans and historians alike.
