Globalization has increased intercultural media flows. In this context, I examine how the US audience perceives two Chinese Wuxia movies, Hero and House of Flying Daggers, which received box office success in 2004. After collecting data from in-depth interviews and focus interviews, I analyzed the transcripts under the theoretical framework of media globalization, media constructions of Asians/Asian Americans, functions of martial arts in US popular culture and society, Orientalism and exoticism. I argue that globalization has brought more complexity to cross-cultural media reception, in which there are multiple sources of information competing with each other. How the participants perceive a text is influenced by the texts of these movies, their subjective positions and preconceptions, the ideology and cultural values in the US, their personal interactions with Chinese people as well as other sources of media they are exposed to on a daily basis. While the participants showed genuine appreciation for the messages in the texts of these two movies, Orientalist perspectives and the male gaze still exist in their perceptions.
