You have correctly identified John Woo's cinematic popularity in the states, but he cannot be given credit for the directorial style on his own. Tsui Hark is another major direcot that influenced the movement.

The prevalence of computer aided action sequences, will only make this a more common style in the years to come (I suspect).

I, for one, am quite pleased with this.

Compare Jet Li's fighting in Lethal Weapon 4 to that of Mel Gibson. I'll take gymnastic, dynamic fighting any day, over two white guys slugging it out punch by puch.

It is not the fightin style or even direction that is as critical as the physical ability of the actor. Jet has it, Charlie's Angels don't.
