7. Kung fu movies
功夫电影
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Maggie Cheung, John Woo, Wong Kar-wai ... thelist of Hong Kong's cinematic heavy hittersgoes on. For a relatively small city (population 7 million) tucked away in a far corner ofEast Asia, Hong Kong sure has produced a lotof Hollywood-worthy stars. But it's the city's kung fu movies that are the most recognized. "Enterthe Dragon," "Fist of Fury," "Once Upon a Time in China,"and "Drunken Master" are just a few of the classics that come to mind. Much of the city's cinematic martial arts glory is due to the efforts of onelegendary movie mogul: Sir Run Run Shaw, who passed away at the age of 107 inJanuary. Shaw put Hong Kong movies on the map by inventingand popularizing kung fu genre films in the 1970s and pushing co-productionssuch as "Blade Runner." Before passing away he admitted regretting never working with Bruce Lee, who wasoffered a better deal by Shaw rival Golden Harvest.
李小龙，成龙，周润发等待，香港电影的大人物数不胜数。香港虽小，但却产生了很多好莱坞级别的明星。而功夫电影是最受人们待见的。《猛龙过江》，《精武门》，《黄飞鸿》，以及《醉八仙》等等不一而足，都是经典。香港功夫电影的主要贡献人物就是邵逸夫，今年一月份107岁高龄去世。邵逸夫通过发明和推广功夫电影而使香港电影名震海内外，还进行了跨国合作，比如《银翼杀手》。在去世前，他老人家坦言后悔没有与李小龙合作过，竞争对手嘉禾公司以更好的价格签走了李小龙。
