Abstract
My favourite home video entertainment at the moment is Once Upon A Time In China 2, Tsui Hark’s 1992 Hong Kong martial arts picture. As a fan of this kind of film, I find it impossible to watch for ten minutes without compulsively reaching for the rewind button, the better to catch again those inventive moments of smile-inducing excess. I like the hyper-manly swagger and bounce of the catchy theme song, or the scene where the hero, Wong Fei Hung/Jet Lee, fights his adversaries armed with nothing but a rolled-up umbrella. And I am not alone in my appreciation. As any reasonably aware movie fan knows, popular Hong Kong films like this attract cult audiences in the West.
