Chopsocky (or chop-socky) is a colloquial term for martial arts films and kung fu films made primarily by Hong Kong action cinema between the late 1960s and early 1980s. The term was coined by the American motion picture trade magazine Variety following the explosion of films in the genre released in 1973 in the U.S. after the success of Five Fingers of Death. The word is a play on chop suey, combining "chop" (as in karate chop referring to a strike with the edge of the hand) and "sock" (as in a punch).

  • Le terme chopsocky (ou chop-socky) est utilisé aux États-Unis pour désigner les films d'arts martiaux et de kung fu produits principalement par le cinéma d'action hongkongais de la fin des années 1960 au début des années 1980. Il est inventé par le magazine Variety à la suite de l'explosion des films du genre sortis en 1973 aux États-Unis après le succès de La Main de fer. Le terme est un jeu de mots sur « chop suey » (une soupe asiatique), combinant « chop » (un coup du tranchant de la main) et « sock » (un coup de poing). (fr)
