Chop Sockey is a rather disrespectful term referring to fight scenes with an East Asian (especially Chinese, mostly Hong Kong) martial-arts style, but is often (see examples below) used to describe the whole genre of martial-arts films. They usually feature over exaggerated presentations of traditional fighting techniques, dramatic sound effects, and sometimes questionable dialogue dubbing.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This is also a parody trope where stereotypical aspects based on the Martial Arts Movie genre are played up as an Affectionate Parody to Pastiche.
Today, this trope can be found in everything from South Park to Mountain Dew commercials to video games (e.g. Kung Fu Chaos) to this XKCD strip.
Artistic License – Martial Arts is a Sister Trope. Dragons Up the Yin Yang is a common visual motif.

Kill Bill Volume 2 has a Deleted Scene in this style which has Bill facing off against the former student of a guy he killed and his handful of mooks.
