Martial arts may be loosely defined as the arts of fighting, where fighting may be with or without weapons. Thus, bare hands and legs, swords, knives, guns, missiles and more can come under the broad definition of a martial art. Therefore, movies featuring action scenes with or without weapons may be broadly classified under martial art movies. A collection of such movies is presented in this article.
Art & Culture has always preserved martial arts in various mediums like cave paintings, pottery, papyrus scrolls, sculptures, paper, songs, dances, and folk tales. With the advent of motion pictures, silent black and white movies were made and thereafter with sound and colour. Nowadays, movies encapsulate stories, dances, songs, scenery, and fight sequences all together to capture all the senses in an explosive colourful audio-visual medium.
The impact of movies on martial arts and vice-versa is notable in both its popularity and its widespread usage. Martial arts and movies have developed a close bond that offers not only entertainment but also instruction as well. With internet, movies have crossed geographical borders and have found new technological mediums for its creation, distribution, and viewing.
The purpose of this article is to compile some notable martial arts movies, either in full or in clips, as available, so that they can be viewed during the ongoing Christmas holidays. There are many excellent movies and displaying all of them is beyond the scope of this article. Nonetheless, the following may prove interesting and enjoyable to watch.
