Like the battle between Sherlock and Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows?
- the_af 5y agoYes. A lot of Western action movies owe their inspiration to Chinese movies (and I suppose, viceversa). In this case Hero (2002) -- or a similar movie, since I doubt it invented this trope -- is likely an inspiration for A Game of Shadows (2011).
- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoHK movies clearly inspired the action movies of the 90s.
- the_af 5y agoYes, with some cases like John Woo even explicitly crossing over to Hollywood :) A friend just reminded me the same "battle of the minds" trope is used in Takeshi Kitano's version of "Zatoichi": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlVK7ogwyUI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlVK7ogwyUI
