Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

King Hu: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), which they worked on as action choreographer: King Hu ⇒ Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (the host's read). CTHD plays in the milieu of King Hu and the wuxia classics, but with a more modern sensibility.
    “this movie is playing in a, in a Milu that is inherent to like King Hu movies and Musha, like the classics”

Hero (1992): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), which they worked on as action choreographer: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ⇒ Hero (the host's read). Without CTHD's success Hero would not have been released in the US.
    “Well, you know, without this movie, you don't have hero coming out in the United States.”

Mulan (2020): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), which they worked on as action choreographer: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ⇒ Mulan (the host's read). The remake's wuxia/mystical style follows the wave of Chinese films that grew popular after Crouching Tiger and the Zhang Yimou films.
    “they've gotten very big, kind of post, crouching tiger hidden dragon, and the Jang Yi-Mu films”

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Matrix (1999), which they worked on as action choreographer: The Matrix ⇒ Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (the host's read). Sean breaks the staging down into influences: Bruce Lee, The Matrix, and Phantom of the Paradise.
    “It's one part Bruce Lee, one part the Matrix, one part Phantom of the Paradise.”

What was said about them, by kind

craft (2)

  1. craft (craft): Yuen Wo-ping → Iron Monkey. The balletic fight choreography echoes Iron Monkey and the 90s Donnie Yen and Jet Li films.
    “It's the same sort of like balletic fight choreography you'd find in like Iron Monkey or something like that”

  2. craft (craft): Yuen Wo-ping → Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. With more time than he had ever had, the choreographer used every big kick he had been saving.
    “choreographing it had a time that he never really had before. And so he like busted out the big guns, all like the kicks that he had been holding in his back pocket for all those years.”
