It seems that Hong Kong martial arts movie industry has lost a lot of steam since about the time Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero came out. It seems that the days of awesome kung fu choreography and all the names we used to love watching like Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, etc. are getting old and no one is really taking their place.

Meanwhile, stars in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, like Tony Jaa, JeeJa Yanin, Iko Uwais, etc. are coming out with some impressive hardcore stuff while Hong Kong and Mainland China have moved into more of the Wuxia type films with actors who have virtually little to no experience in martial arts or what some like to call “Hua Ping 花瓶”.

Are Chinese Kung Fu movies becoming a thing of the past?
