These type of movies have existed for a while. (Score 1)

I have to say these movies are really fun to watch. I am a big fan of sword fighting movies and ancient chinese story lines. They have existed for a while. Usually the ones that come out are from Hong Kong and they are really long. Some movies are epics. They last for 50 video tapes. They are like T.V. shows but with more action and cinematic sequences. I would like to see this type of stuff brought to the American Mainstream T.V. It would be really entertaining.
