7. Kung fu movies
功夫電影
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Maggie Cheung, John Woo, Wong Kar-wai ... thelist of Hong Kong's cinematic heavy hittersgoes on. For a relatively small city (population 7 million) tucked away in a far corner ofEast Asia, Hong Kong sure has produced a lotof Hollywood-worthy stars. But it's the city's kung fu movies that are the most recognized. "Enterthe Dragon," "Fist of Fury," "Once Upon a Time in China,"and "Drunken Master" are just a few of the classics that come to mind. Much of the city's cinematic martial arts glory is due to the efforts of onelegendary movie mogul: Sir Run Run Shaw, who passed away at the age of 107 inJanuary. Shaw put Hong Kong movies on the map by inventingand popularizing kung fu genre films in the 1970s and pushing co-productionssuch as "Blade Runner." Before passing away he admitted regretting never working with Bruce Lee, who wasoffered a better deal by Shaw rival Golden Harvest.
李小龍，成龍，周潤發等待，香港電影的大人物數不勝數。香港雖小，但卻產生了很多好萊塢級別的明星。而功夫電影是最受人們待見的。《猛龍過江》，《精武門》，《黃飛鴻》，以及《醉八仙》等等不一而足，都是經典。香港功夫電影的主要貢獻人物就是邵逸夫，今年一月份107歲高齡去世。邵逸夫通過發明和推廣功夫電影而使香港電影名震海內外，還進行了跨國合作，比如《銀翼殺手》。在去世前，他老人家坦言后悔沒有與李小龍合作過，競爭對手嘉禾公司以更好的價格簽走了李小龍。
