The Hong Kong Filmography 1977 1997 by John Charles Book PDF Summary

Thanks to the successes of directors and actors like John Woo, Jackie Chan, and Chow Yun-Fat, the cinema of Hong Kong is wildly popular worldwide, and there is much more to this diverse film culture than most Western audiences realize.

Information on 1,100 films produced in British Hong Kong from 1977 to 1997 is included here.
