Hong Kong Cinema

Posted by Hong Kong Travel Guide

The Hong Kong film industry is one of the three major threads in the history of Chinese language cinema, alongside the cinema of China, and Taiwanese cinema.

Hong Kong is considered the third largest motion picture industry in the world, after Bollywood and Hollywood, and the second largest exporter of films and talents. Two of the most prominent Hong Kong actors who managed to carve a name in international movies are Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow. And of course Hongkong filmmaking brought us the legend of Bruce Lee.
