520 |a "Experts in Action approaches the transnational circulation of Hong Kong action cinema aesthetics and technique in relation to the industrial need for and creation of expert performers. "Hong Kong-style action" is an assemblage of elements most commonly associated with action design work from Hong Kong cinema of the 1980s and 1990s: stunt performers as stars, Asian martial arts, complex fight sequences with multiple points of physical contact between cuts, and dynamic and fluid wire-work. These technical histories of corporeal practices congeal in the body of the expert action performer. The expert performers discussed in this book are "transnational" not simply because of the global marketing, distribution, and reception of their films and television programs, but because the act of production adapts techniques and corporeal practices common to Hong Kong action films to localized media contexts"--  |c Provided by publisher.
