The object of this work is to present the widely-understood martial arts regarded as the leading motif in many film genres - some representations were supposed to scare a viewer, some others to entertain.

The following films have undergone analysis: Enter the Dragon (1973, directed by B. Lee, R. Clouse), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2000, directed by A Lee), Shaolin Soccer (2001, directed by S.
