	Movies - Wire fu film

Wire fu is an action film genre in which the actors use wire-work to perform amazing stunts. The word is based on Kung Fu and wire work.

Almost all modern wuxia movies falls in this category. However, not all martial arts films used wire work. Hollywood employs wire-work in many recent movies. Another tecnique of creating wire fu is by using a green screen. The actors are suspended in the air by green wires. Then special effects are added to the scene such as the location. One of the famous users of wire fu is The Matrix. A famous scene in The Matrix is when Agent Smith and Neo leap into the air and are suspened as they point guns at eachother. In the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon the characters can almost fly, vaulting into the air with ease. This was spoofed in a Pepsi commercial when the characters fly off the rooftops and battle for a can of Pepsi.
