A New Wave Of Martial Arts Is Making Its Mark On Hollywood

Asian Americans are leading a charge to create more nuanced martial arts storytelling, with one group named Martial Club at the forefront.

In 1973, the movie "Five Fingers of Death" introduced American audiences to martial arts, and the genre immediately dominated the U.S. box office. Warner Bros. "Enter the Dragon" came out that same year, becoming the first martial arts movie produced by an American studio and the highest grossing martial arts film of all time.

Since then, martial arts movies in Hollywood have come and gone in waves.  

"The last time we saw martial arts in the industry, and that was cool, was like, early 2000s," filmmaker, actor and martial artist Andy Le said.
