Hong Kong action cinema

Article is about one notable sub-industry of the hong kong film industry, its history and development. Article is a synthesis of the "big" books on the subject (logan, teo et al) so the assertions and facts are easily verifiable. It is balanced and neutral in tone, and appears to be well-written (i didnt write this article, just made minor tweaks) introducing all topics in summary style with appropriate wikilinks to delve further. Most of this comprehensive article was already there when i stumbled on the page, i just added some pics, some refs, and tweaked the lead to summarize the article. It has passed through Wikipedia:Peer review/Hong Kong action cinema/archive1 and Good Article review successfully, lets see what FAC brings up.

~~Object~~ due to a few issues that can be ironed out, I think.
- ~~"The boom was smothered in the 1930s by official opposition" - "the boom was smothered" is a very odd wording, IMO~~
- ~~I don't think the screenshot of an unknown movie can be considered legitimate fair use as long as the copyright holder (of the movie) is not identified.~~
- I know Bruce Lee's important and all, but that section is unadulterated gushing, which is unencyclopedic no matter who the topic is. I suggest replacing it with something to the effect of "Cinema historian Bey Logan ascribed Lee's success to "his unique physical style, onscreen charisma and instinct for self-promotion" (I know that's not a quote, but find something equivalent that is a quote)
