In order to explore Spinoza's mysterious sentence: no one knows what a body can do, we review
contemporary Wuxia cinema in order to show that the seventh art has offered its own share on the thematization of the corporeal. The basic hypothesis is that this cinema sabotages
the body as biology and anticipates, in his period accounts, the post-human. He tells us about
the bodies to come, before of the techniques of the present. To do this, we analyze three variations
on the body of the warrior of artsmartial arts in three different works, by great masters of Chinese
cinema: Iron Monkey (1993) by Yuen Wooping, Ashes of Time Redux (1994, 2008) by Wong Kar-wai and Hero
(2002) by Zhang Yimou.
