Though I am not a real big fan of these films, it is interesting to understand the history of HK film. The first chapter begins with Bruce Lee, but then continues with a lot of information on other stars such as Jimmy Wang Yu, Chang Cheh and other stars from the 1960’s and 1970’s. I found much of this very interesting.
There is also a chapter devoted to the Japanese action stars such as Sonny Chiba, Zatoichi, The Lone Wolf and others.
