As the 1970s and the era of the martial arts film wounded down, Wu Ma's output as a director also slowed.
While Wu had made appearances in Hung's 1970s movies (such as Iron Fisted Monk), Wu's association with Sammo Hung began in earnest in the early 1980s.

Although the 1970s opened with Hollywood experiencing a financial and artistic depression, the decade became a creative high point in the US film industry.
The counter-culture of the time had influenced Hollywood to be freer, to take more risks and to experiment with alternative, young film makers, as old Hollywood professionals and old-style moguls died out and a new generation of film makers arose.

 TIMELINE 1970s page of ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION WEB GUIDE
Yet David Hartwell comments [Age of Wonders, New York: Walker, 1984, p.192]: The 1970s was a decade of fatigue and retrenchment and disillusionment in our culture, no new energy sources, and an exhaustion of the old ones, literally or figuratively.
The 1970s was not a decade of stylistic revolution such as the "New Wave" of the late 1960s, but perhaps a decade of consolidation, where the lessons learned from maninstream literature, "New Wave" experimentalism, and the classics of science fiction were melded into a healthy hybrid.
Science Fiction movies were certainly a major part of the field, with higher budgets, better special effects, more box office clout, greater in numbers, and included a number of obvious instant classics.
