Dialogue in Film Conference

My PhD students are organising a conference on dialogue in film - check out the details here: https://ifvcr.wordpress.com/ifvcr-network-conference/ - so I've put in a proposal, which goes like this:

'Oh, no! That's karate!' Speaking of Martial Arts (in non-martial arts films) 

Michael Molasky's exploration of Japanese and Okinawan feelings about the American occupation proceeds by looking at the way America and the occupation feature in a wide range of Japanese and Okinawan literature of the post-war period. Molasky's focus is not literature specifically about the occupation or about Americans; rather it surveys Japanese and Okinawan literature in general, for clues, evidence, and interesting cases. In a similar spirit, and using a similar approach, this presentation (which is part of a larger inquiry into wider feelings and ideas about 'martial arts' in Western popular culture) will look at examples of dialogue about martial arts in non-martial arts films. In other words, for the purposes of this exercise, the focus is resolutely not on martial arts action itself, but only on dialogue about martial arts. Moreover, films that are widely regarded as 'martial arts films' will also be disallowed. The premise is that films, in various ways, record, register and deploy wider discursive sensibilities, configurations, structures of feeling, and so on; and the objective is to begin to glean some insights into the discursive status and conceptual, associative and connotative configurations of 'martial arts' in contemporary English language popular culture. (The reasons for wanting to do this are complex and perhaps beyond the scope of a short paper, but I will try to gesture to the wider value of such a project.)

If anyone has any suggestions of good films that fit the bill, please let me know ASAP. I'd like to consider as many examples as possible.
