  • Warrior Women
    1 Hong Kong –Hollywood Connections Part I: Industrial Collaborations and Divergences Hollywood constitutes the only truly global cinema system. David Bor- dwell defines a global cinema as one that occupies “significant space” in the global film market that extends beyond a single picture or cycle of films (82). For 40 years, Hollywood has saturated the international film market with its products and has enjoyed some of the largest box-office returns. With a high demand for its films, Hollywood threatens other film industries by dominating their markets with generic English-language films often devoid of local/indigenous content and themes. While Hol- lywood might not be the most prolific film industry in the world, it is the most moneyed (Denison 105). In light of Hollywood’s domination of worldwide screens since 1980, aided by the rise of the Hollywood block- buster, Hollywood has become the leader in global film culture (Desser, “Hong” 214). In the wake of Hollywood’s increasing global dominance, Hong Kong was one of the few cinemas to thrive, entering its own golden age of filmmaking from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s; during this time, Hong Kong was second only to Hollywood in terms of its total overseas exports. These films, however, were almost exclusively screened throughout East and Southeast Asia1 and brought in only a fraction of Hollywood’s interna- tional box-office returns2 (Bordwell 82). In light of its regional influence, Hong Kong can be considered a transnational cinema whose production, distribution, and exhibition

  • HKAT!, HONG KONG ACTION THEATRE!, GUARDIANS of ORDER and TRI-STAT SYSTEM Are Trademarks of GUARDIANS of ORDER, INC
    T-MINUS 8 MINUTES AND COUNTING.... Power flickered out across Hong Kong, reducing the city to millions of headlights and bringing traffic to a snarling stop. The terrorist’s bullet-riddled car ahead of Michelle swerved, blocking her motorcycle from escaping into traffic. Michelle, however, didn’t flinch — she slammed into the side of the terrorist’s car and allowed the momentum to send her rolling over the hood. She came up on the other side of the car, her MP5 blazing. She caught the lead motorcycle following her in the fuel tank, turning it into a blossom of orange fire; the other two bikes were flanking Michelle, trying to pin her down with Uzi fire. That was the least of Michelle’s worries though. The burning wreckage of the terrorist’s motorcycle was skidding straight for Michelle’s wrecked and fuel-leaking bike. She turned and ran through traffic. The flaming bike slammed into Michelle’s motorcycle, detonating the exposed fuel and taking the surrounding vehicles with it. Chain reaction. The cars behind Michelle exploded in succession like a tidal wave of fire while the terrorists did their best to fill her with holes … and Michelle still had to disarm the nuclear bomb the terrorists were using to hold Hong Kong hostage. T-MINUS 7 MINUTES AND COUNTING…. Welcome to Hong Kong Action Theatre!, where the guns are always full and the action furious. This role-playing game is a must for anyone who has ever marvelled at the exploits of Hong Kong movies and longed to partake in the action.

From this it can be seen that the handover and themes closely related to it is recurring throughout the films of this period, but also how society and major political events are reflected in cinema.

  • Hong Kong and Bollywood in the Global Soft Power Contest
    Hong Kong and Bollywood in the Global Soft Power Contest Satish Kolluri and Joseph Tse-Hei Lee Abstract Much has been written about the desire of China and India to see their cinemas, television programs, and cultural products become competitive in the global media market. What is missing is a comparative analysis that brings together Hong Kong and Bombay, two Asian cities with their successful film industries that transcend the conventional categories of Chinese and Indian national cinemas, and reposition themselves as new cultural forces in the pantheon of world cinema. This article highlights the phenomena of cinematic appropriation, elaboration, and plagiarism in the cultural flows between Hollywood, Hong Kong, and Bollywood. It examines the force of globalization that has driven Hong Kong Chinese and Indian producers to make films for nontraditional audiences, to address controversies in their works, and to gain legitimacy from and negotiate with various state authorities. The investigation entails not just a mere description of two local-turned-global Asian film industries but also represents an attempt to theorize a fruitful area of study. Keywords: Hong Kong, Bollywood, soft power, China, India, cinemas Introduction Much has been written about the desire of China and India to see their cinemas, television programs, and cultural products become competitive in the global media market.
