There is a beginning for everything and one could say that the "kung-fu movie" (even though the term itself would not be coined until the early seventies) started with THE TRUE STORY OF WONG FEI HUNG: WHIPLASH SNUFFS THE CANDLE FLAME way back in 1949. Of course, there were wuxia films (the generic Chinese term for martial arts fiction) that came before, but they were quite fantasy-oriented in both

plot and the depiction of martial arts. TRUE STORY was the very first martial-arts movie that aimed for a realistic display of authentic martial arts in a realistic setting. Furthermore, this was the first film about Wong Fei-hung, a famed turn-of-the-century folk hero of Southern China who had become a star of pulp fiction literature and radio shows since his death a quarter of a century before. It was also the film in which Chinese opera actor Kwan Tak-hing created the part of Wong which he would continue to play for nearly 80 films over four successive decades. Not only did he become the very first great kung-fu film star, but also the most beloved; the venerable patriarch of the whole genre.
