Top 14 Wuxia Films Of The Recent Past

By E.F. Camacho / September 23, 2013

11. Flying Dagger

This film is, before someone asks, definitely not House of Flying Daggers...this is a Wuxia based comedy that borrows from a variety of other Wuxia films and essentially parodies all of them together with a large cast of characters and many famous Hong Kong stars.

It's a bit cheesy and lacking a little in the martial arts (likely due to its totally non-serious tone), but it is still considered among the best in the genre for its ability to poke fun at itself and other films like it.

I'm a writer, a published author, and editor for a small independent publishing house. I'm an award winning producer of independent media, and I get to edit books, screenplays, and comics in my day to day. I love working on independent film & games, during my down time, as well as reviewing films while gobbling down milk duds (it's an addiction, I know). I've been called "Geek-Prime" among my peers for all the fandoms I work in, and I wear that title proudly. It's a passion, and an exercise in my growing profession, to get to write about what I love. Which happens to be a little of everything. But mostly film, comics, horror, games, anime, literature, and life. I do write about academic material, like politics, medicine, physics, and mathematics too. But for the most part, I like to keep things down to earth and simple. Follow me on Twitter & Facebook
