Definitions

  1. A style of sophisticated gunplay at close quarters, originating in Hong Kong action films.

Examples

“The Rev. Hugh Dalton runs a different kind of drive-in, one with no kung fu, bimbo fu, gun fu or any kind of violence. His establishment: The Gospel Film Drive-In.”
“The gun-fu employed by the daintily fanged Jovovich seems like a development of the equally silly martial arts practised by Christian Bale in Wimmer's last dystopian action picture, Equilibrium (2002), but the director's vision has devolved from cod Orwell to riffing off bad girl art comic books and generally feeble posing.”
