It's all about doing the righteous and helpful things to normal people,
against the evil ones. One thing in commen is that thay all have the best Kung-fu, which makes the stories more story-like :)

That is incorrect. Samurai means: "the one who serves". Bushi means warrior.
shareThe first Wu Xia (Wuxia) film was made in 1969 - Bao Biao (Have Sword, Will Travel) by the Shaw Brothers, in this movie they are flying around and the fights are epic, badass and very gory.
