Ron,

A good reference on the early martial arts film -- especially the female
warrior cycle, taking it back to the late '20s, is:

Zhang Zhen, "Bodies in the Air: The Magic of Science and the Fate of the
Early Martial Arts Film in China," Post Script 20:2/3 (Winter/ Spring &
Summer 2001): 43-60.

Another good if more general intro is:

Sheldon Hsiao-peng Lu, "Historical Introduction: Chinese Cinemas (1896-1996)
and Transnational Film Studies," in Lu (ed.), Transnational Chinese Cinemas:
Identity, Nationhood, Gender. Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1997:
1-31.

With best wishes,

Fran
