	Shaw Brothers Studio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The studio released Hong Kong's first movie with sound 《白金龍》 (which translates as "platinum dragon", or one of the slang terms for a pistol) in 1934.
		Shaw Studios was not well known for female actors however, largely due to Chang Cheh's preference for brotherhood tales, and producer Mona Fong's alleged hatred for beautiful actresses.
		The Shaw Brothers continue to be known as the most prominent fathers of Wuxia and Kung Fu films.

	Shaw Brothers
		Shaw Brothers biggest kung fu successes of the early 1970s were The Chinese Boxer and King Boxer (Jeong:1973), both set in feudal Chinese eras with the Manchurians and Japanese as the villains.
		Shaw films created mythical Chinese pasts while Bruce Lee represented modernity and his efforts helped begin to produce a modern Hong Kong identity moving away from the tradition of wuxia (which is typically seen as an ancient China tradition of storytelling) to create a sense of individuality and uniqueness.
		Shaw Brothers representation of the leading hero was behind the times and trailing the much more relevant hero figure of Bruce Lee and this along with the cracks formed in the studio system, put Shaw Brothers behind their rivals for the first time.

	Shaw Brothers
		Shaw’s were able to invest more money in their Mandarin films as the returns would be higher than if it were just for a local audience and so this devalued the Cantonese features with their lower production values which could only compete for a smaller market.
		Shaw knew that Loke would be his toughest competitor and made sure that Shaw Brothers would exclusively compete with the films of MPandGI, so "from the start, Shaw Brothers specifically targeted MPandGI and rushed to produce films that had been scheduled by their rival" (Zhang, 2004:168).
		Shaw Brothers expansion into the wuxia genre could perhaps be seen in relation to the popularity of the Japanese chanbara films flooding into the Hong Kong market such as Yojimbo (Kurosawa:1962) which became popular through their violence and realistic fight choreography (along with the strong leading man such as Zatoichi).

	Shaw Brothers: 1962
		Shaw’s conversion of Qing’s traditional role into an instrument of romance highlights a common Shaw trope—the role of the “second woman”—the cheerful, outspoken, id-laden sidekick without who romance would never flower.
		The biggest change implemented by Shaws is the film’s abrupt, almost absurd ending that excises most of the story’s final act, but caps the running time at a theater friendly 95 minutes.
		But it’s not as if Shaw introduced these themes into Chinese art, The Dream Of The Red Chamber was almost 200 years old by the time Shaw made their film, and theirs was only one of many, the first being made in the 1930s.

	Shaw Brothers: Fantastical
		Although their films took an age to make compared to the Cantonese films that were frequently made in a week, the Shaw Brothers strived to make their filmmaking process as svelte as possible—hence the endlessly reused Movie Town lots, the contract actors, writers and directors and the recombinations of popular plot elements.
		And, as a perfect example of Shaw’s increasingly salacious style, this family film is even spiced up with a quick bit of female nudity, thanks to the frequently nude Lily Ho*.
		A consistently popular legend, it was filmed before the Shaw Brothers version in 1965, and has been filmed, animated and televised many times since.

	Film Comment
		The astonishing legacy of Hong Kong's legendary Shaw Brothers studios - razzle-dazzle musicals, death-steeped melodramas, huangmei diao Chinese opera adaptations, super-noir swordplay sagas, gristle-ribboned urban thrillers, and some of the greatest martial-arts movies ever made - is risen.
		For the aging Shaws acolytes who remember these movies from their childhoods, for the latter-day Tsui Hark and John Woo worshipers who've yearned to explore the formative films that their auteur-heroes so explosively remade, and for all the true believers yet to come, it's a miraculous rolling away of the stone.
		With crossover tendencies as constantly curious as those, it's no wonder Shaw Brothers films continue to exert as powerful and far-flung an influence on audiences and young filmmakers now as they did when they were still being made.
