Talk:Martial arts film

message: Is a mention of Spencer Tracy's Bad Day at Black Rock suitable?
: I think it deserves a mention because it one of the first American films to feature someone adept at martial arts, and using it strictly defensively. — Loadmaster (talk) 17:58, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

message: The article "Martial Arts film" lacks a fundamental list of martial arts films! This article mostly contains famous and important actors to this genre. There should be a list of examples and the most famous of martial arts films.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.173.240.220 (talk) 05:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I never even heard ofNever Back Down and it wasn't well-recieved by critics, so why is it on this list?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElbowLick (talk • contribs) 03:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: What makes a martial arts film notable?

message: The list of notable martial arts films is in bad shape. The list clearly demonstrates recentism and a clear lack of standards regarding what is considered notable. We must be more aggressive at deleting items from the list and requiring citations and discussion if necessary for contentious items. I will give a few days for comments but I think the best way to proceed is to almost start over. I intend to chop the list down to a small "non-controversial" subset. I'm not sure if any of the films added after 2000 belong here. Jason Quinn (talk) 02:57, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding notable martial arts films 

message: I have not been able to find any information in any Wiki article about how martial arts fight scenes were actually choreographed and performed, not even in the Stage Combat page.  I would think that kind of info would belong in an article like this one and how choreography has evolved (I'd add it myself if I knew how it was done).(162.140.67.10 (talk) 16:55, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Choreography 

message: I removed Kathy Long from the list of female martial artists because she does not fit that list6ing of women within the timeframe they represent.  Kathy Long came along in the 90s. I added Karen Shepard to replace Kathy Long as she is a memeber of that group. She and Cynthia Rothrock were rivals in the 80s when competing, as we as acted during the same time.

thread_title:  Added movie to Action Choreographer list in Filmopgraphy 

message: The last sentence of the first paragraph states, "The most famous wuxia film made was the Ang Lee masterpiece Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was based on the Wang Dulu series of wuxia novels: it earned four Academy Awards, including one for Best Foreign Film." There is no citation to support it being the most "famous" wuxia film ever made and the word "masterpiece" as a descriptor does not seem to be in line with Wiki standards of impartiality. I'd change it, but I don't feel qualified to identify the "most famous wuxia film made". Clean up crew?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.79.113.21 (talk) 22:03, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
