Love stories can be found even in movies that are primarily about action. Martial arts movies might have offered audiences some of the most epic fights in cinema history, but they have also produced some of the greatest romance stories.

Interpersonal connections are more often than not the driving force behind the characters’ motivations, making them stand out as some of the key elements of the plot.

Romantic love, in particular, is a central emotional force in martial arts films, making the genre far more than just displays of impressive kick techniques you shouldn’t try at home. In these emotionally complex storylines that balance action and emotion, love is never just about passion — it is about the sacrifices and personal growth that come with it.

The use of the handicapped and disabled in cinema is a tricky subject, not wanting to let the physical disability serve as a means of exploiting, demeaning, or lowering the person's on-screen attributes into being a lesser figure than the other participants who don't suffer from this condition. The horror genre has provided memorable characters in it's history that have a handicap to positive and uplifting effect, which is the route taken here with James Hung's newest creature feature “Detrimental.” This shows off the handicapped being instrumental to stopping the carnage around them in addition to being a fun monster movie in it's own right.
