Have asian Martial arts films influenced the Hollywood film industry?

I would like to hear any opinions on this. How have these films influenced the big blockbuster hollywood movies we are all so very used to seeing each year. Or have they not been as much of an influence at all?|||The American films borrowed "wire fu", the stunt-fight work utilizing wires that allow the performer to defy gravity.





I like Jackie Chan, for example, but I think his American films are crap. His HongKong made films are much better. Although The Big Brawl is


good, and Rumble In The Bronx is good (filmed in CA, but controled by HongKong filmakers). In these and Jackie Chan's HongKong films he creates all his own physical stunts with no movie-magic amplification and they are just plain sharper and more interesting.





Kill Bill stole alot from Chinese and Japanese martial arts movies even lifting actual characters from them (Hatori Honzo, Mae Pei).|||All of the answers above me, are right. Asian films have influence Hollywood. I think Asian Martial art films haven't influenced us enough. We need to slow down our cameras, focus on the action and not have you become sick from watch an action scene. Hollywood action scenes or fights have no purpose with them, it is like "Hey you, lets fight". There are many martial arts films where everyone fighting is there for a purpose, and objective, if not individually collectively. That should be shown more in Hollywood film, and yeah make a comedy or thriller where everyone can fight that would be cool, from grandma to the the 5 year old kid.|||Wish I had time to say more.





Crouching Tiger-Hidden Dragon changed the way action movies are shot--I don't know enough about cinematography to go on, but this was a very influential movie.





Jackie Chan put comedy into violence without slapstick. These were hollywood films, so they may not be relevant.





Bruce Lee--how many movies were there where a righteous vigilante beats the crap out of fifty bad guys before Bruce?|||Somewhat. Kill Bill and Matrix had fight scenes that were much more intense and much better chorreographed than anything we had seen before. This was definitely a result of the high-wire Hong Kong style influence of movies like Iron Monkey, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Hero.
